5 Oct
Seattle is a beautiful city owning sea, mountains, hills and good weather. Space Needle is a place where most visitors come and get 360 bird view to the Seattle City. Anne took us (Me and Robert) to the Space Needle and shared the her experiences of the city. Anne is a student studying Master of Arts in International Education working for World Affairs Council as a volunteer to promote her experiences.
The idea behind the Space Needle building would be always new.

My first appointment and discussions for today is in the University of Washington. On the way, I shared my thoughts about up coming meetings by reading the Program Schedules that will be great and exciting for me, perhaps it might be the best meeting. After some hours, I see my thoughts come true.
Just before we met Christopher and associates
The discussion is in the Parrington Hall Forum, 3rd Floor, University of Washington
www.cis.washington.edu
Mr. Christopher Coward and 21 associates came to the discussions. Here, I got great chances to address
1) My Profile
2) Myanmar Internet Knowledge Training Classes
3) Phenomenon of Internet
4) The way we should live today and
5) My perspective on today U.S people
And I got many interesting questions from the Professors and Students. I was doing my best at that time I think. And here I saw Americans always love to adapt the every-changing worlds. They are very adaptable and very good in knowledge management. I met very fine guys of this earth I think. This meeting is 100 % match meeting among all of my meetings. I really appreciated IVP of Seattle also.
I felt that we have very same visions and works. I hope I will bridge Myanmar People Thoughts and Emotions to the internet via Mr. Christopher Coward and teams.

Then we met the Leader and Founder of Across Cultures, Ms. Christina Bruning. She was a former Manager, Project Management for the US Library Program of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. She seems very light and happy nice lady.
When she asked me what I got from my US trips. Yes, I got a lot, the biggest one is seeing the difference. Then she shared her experiences. All are very interesting.

She and her husband recommended us to go for Body Exhibitions so that we decided to go there before the trip. It become a remarkable experiences of mine.
Before the next appointment, we got a time for Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, the Pacific NW’s natural history and culture museum. I was thinking that there should be a directory of US museum on the internet, of course finally I found the following links.
U.S. Museums by State

Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture
University of Washington
http://www.washington.edu/burkemuseum/
US states and cities offers the international visitors for their fine and live museums (the exhibitions are always changing). These are also the places of US people works and performances for the world History, Education, Culture, Sciences and so much I think. So I would like to call these people SOFT PEOPLE who always try to attract someone else by the knowledge ways.
A detour
Then we met Lynn and Troy at the office of Technology Access Foundation. www.techaccess.org
Ms. Lynn DeMarco
Program Manager
Technology Access Foundation
Technology Center
801 23rd Avenue South
Mr. Troy Hilton
Educational Program Manager

After meeting Christina, Lynn and Troy I started to understand the relations and works between US Non Profit Organizations and US community. They have mutual works and respects to outcome good results for the community. They are success stories.
In Burma, it’s something difference. When we got the Finance from one Company, we set up the Project and carry on. The project and result is Ok as long as the financing is Ok. When the Project complete after pre-determined years and finance gone, the results and works also gone. No more works and results in the community. What will be the best answer for those countries who cannot continue the works after financing period ? Yes the answer is, setting up them self and providing the knowledge instead of providing the finance.
Whether providing finance or technologies or knowledge to provide best outcome for the social and communities of those developing countries, the matter is to do the Right Thing. Sometime providing finance and technology is Ok but sometime it’s not enough.
Thanks again Christina, Lynn and Troy.
Next visits was a Dinner invited by Jason and Autumn Cutter. Autumn is working as a Director of International Visitor Program, World Affairs Council. She arranged most of the Seattle programs for me. They own two lovely cats and sweet home.
The dinner was very live and warmly when Jason made some jokes and teasing to others. Darren and Toni are best partners of Jason and Autumn.
After dinner, Taco (A Mexican Cuisine) became one of my choice for future dining. Autumn professionally provided the Taco at the dinner. Brownies taken by Darren and Toni also unforgettable. I took more 5 Brownies to the hotel. Staying with them is very much like staying with my old friends.
You wanna get more about Taco ? and Mexican Food ?
