Web sites

Creating an online website is not a simple thing. You have to consider a lot of things from the design to the lay-out. Before that you have to come up with a good site name and check with a domain registration website if nobody has come up with your unique idea. Coming up with a unique domain name makes you realize if there is really such a thing as a unique idea because it seems everybody has beaten you to it. Then there are the web hosting and other nitty gritty details to think about. Then when you have your website up and running, you have to find ways to get a lot of traffic to your site, so you sign up with thousands of directories that judge your website unworthy. Then you encounter terms like search engine optimization or conversion rate optimization and other similar jargons. What in the world are they talking about?! I guess it really pays to have a friend who knows about these things, if you don’t have the inclination to learn. Of course, in order to be really successful in the web sites and blogs game, you have to learn about the tricks of the trade. Nothing beats firsthand knowledge.

Ito ang 63 Building, ang pinakamataas na gusali sa Seoul. Kinuha ko ang litratong ito habang nasa barko at nilalakbay ang ilog Han.

(This is the 63 Building, the highest building in Seoul. I took this picture while aboard the river boat cruising the Han River.)

So Many Places to See…

There are so many wonderful places to visit around the world. I guess my dream job is to become a professional tourist and get to see all the wonderful places, both the very well known tourist spots and those out of the way places that only very few people know about. While growing up, the only places I wanted to go to were the USA (surprise!), England, France and Switzerland because they were the only ones I heard a lot about. Now I realize that America is not only the Unite States of America. There are a lot of countries in South and Central America that have beautiful historical landmarks that are unique to their region. I think I will include an Argentina travel to my things to do list before I grow old. I want to see Buenos Aires, the national parks and the sea lions and elephant seals in their natural habitat. Another place I want to visit is Peru because I want to see the lost city of the Incas, Machu Picchu. I guess, I’ll never get rich because I will only save in order to spend it for travel. But, what wonderful experiences I will have.
