6 Oct

The idea behind John Standford International School is a new one but a must requirement of today education. This is an elementary school providing the Global Knowledge to the students. Since the school principal and teams very well understand in today education and it’s change, they introduce the new teaching system to the world via Seattle.

They try children to get more familiarity and understanding in other cultures than own(American) ones. I saw Spanish, Japanese, English culture sections and class rooms.

There also a principal’ news letter to the Parents in PDF mentioning there will be a visitor on Burma on Oct 6. That is my visit;

There also one middle school using the same ideology. Hamilton International Middle School. http://www.seattleschools.org/schools/hamilton/

These two schools might be the starting points and a solution for modern education world. Since they based on their course and teaching as a reflection of today business and community requirements, they will get more and more success in near future I think.














Providing the children “what is the world and what are you?” concepts of these school are far more advanced than today ordinary school concepts such as Fun and Learn, Play and Fun concepts.

Jim hosted the Lunch














At the evening, we were in “Seattle Public Library”. It’s showing that yesterday Space and Books concepts of the libraries are not enough for modern libraries. Providing fair reading atmosphere by lighting, air conditions, equipments, books, easy accessibility etc..














It seems Seattle Public Library is trying to transfer the knowledge by means of any possible latest hi-teach and facilities.

Seattle Lobby
Red Floor
Home School














are some concepts figuring the knowledge transference process for Seattle people, Seattle meetings and conferences, Seattle Teenagers.

In my library tour, Marilyn guided very professionally. She might be a jewel of this library.

Then we headed to the Experience Music Project, besides Space Needle; amazing place also.

EMP is a one-of-a-kind music museum combining interactive and interpretive exhibits to tell the story of the creative, innovative and rebellious expression that defines American popular music. Featuring a world-class collection of artifacts, unique architecture by Frank O. Gehry, state-of-the-art technology, and exciting interactive presentations, EMP will encourage visitors of all ages and backgrounds to experience the power and joy of music in its many forms.

Body Exhibitions
The last 25 millions exhibitions.

Even though I spent only 25 USD for the Body Exhibitions, I got more than 25 millions from here. At first I remembered the Mummy creators of Egypt. If those Egyptian see the Body Exhibits, definitely no doubt that they will appreciate and give honors to modern Mummy creators.

Even though the philosophy is quite simple “To know is To see”, we can imagine today technology of preservation death bodies.

This method of preservation creates a specimen that will not decay. This offers thousands of unique teaching possibilities for educators at all levels, including medical professionals, archeologists and other scientists.

Then Body Exhibitions;
