On Travels and Photos

About this blog . . .

I set a goal in October 2014 to finish exploring all 50 States before my birthday in September 2015. I've traveled some of the states before I came to the US as an immigrant, and I want to continue doing it. I am very grateful to have my dream job as a Flight Attendant, and more than grateful to enjoy the travel benefits in pursuing my passion to travel.

Taking photos is a crucial part of my travels. Images are memories that last. They bring us back to places and experiences we want to remember. I will be sharing few favorite photos, and few good stuff to reconnect with them.

Thank you, to all of you who were with me on my travels.


Join me on my wonderful journey . . . . .

Looking for Sunflowers in Kansas



     Where are my sunflowers?
     
     I was hoping to visit a sunflower plantation in this sunflower state. But, unfortunately, it was not the season to see them when I visited. Kansas is called the "sunflower state" because its weather is ideally suited for sunflowers.


     Wichita is not the capital of Kansas; it is Topeka. But I was surprised to learn that Wichita is the "air capital of the world." In 1929, the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce used that nickname for Wichita due to the significant presence of aviation and aeronautical corporations in the city. Since then, they have used the nickname to refer to Wichita. 


     I explored the "Old Town," and as expected, the streets were almost empty with cars and people but with lots of old brick buildings. Interestingly, I've learned that there are lots of bars around town. 

     Once in a while, I meet other solo travelers like me, and I met one here. People are friendly, and they want to help strangers. 

     I still hope to visit a sunflower plantation here someday.
