My trip to Prague with Maria was awesome. I went there to attend a conference on MS research, where I was given the opportunity to present a poster. I believe there were about 3,000 presenters and many more visitors. It was nice to see some of my friends from Boston again.. I hope I’ll see you guys again soon!
The other days, the two of us went about sightseeing. Prague is very beautiful city in that it has been able to keep its old charm for hundreds of years. Not too many wars were fought in Prague itself, so the city hasn’t lost many old buildings.
There’s two parts of Prague. Once part (Old Town) is the area of Prague built prior to 1300. New Town, a misleading name, is the area of Prague built after 1300. Man, and I thought these 1870s buildings here in Galveston were old…. :/
I got back about two weeks ago, although it feels longer since i had a massive number of tests to take last week. Oh well, that class is over.
Take a look at the pictures when you get a chance. Warning… there’s a lot! 
UPDATE: View the photos as a slideshow..
Our recent trip to Prague. Very beautiful city!
My favorite massively large passenger plane (I’d call it a JumboJet, but I think Boeing has dibs on that word) has finally had it’s first commercial maiden voyage!
Singapore Airlines Flight SQ380 took off from Singapore to Sydney and offered the passengers a super luxurious ride. Although the Airbus can accommodate up to 850 seats, Singapore Airlines designed the first A380 configuration with only 471 seats, allowing for full comfort. Twelve fully enclosed suites are available ($7,200 each way), along with 60 business class seats, and 399 economy class seats with the most amount of leg room ever available in Singapore economy class. Several “airliner” celebrities were on the cabin roster, including a man who also rode the first 747 maiden voyage flight in 1970, and another man who rode the first Concorde flight in 1979.
The A380 is the most fuel efficient commercial plane now in operation, and it also features 50% lower cabin noise than a 747. Airbus delivered the first A380 to Singapore Airlines with an exclusivity agreement to not deliver any more planes to any carrier for 10 more months.
In the meantime, I wait to ride an A380 in the future. It’s going to be awesome.
