SKY TV made a television history by becoming the first broadcaster in the world to show a live football match in 3D. Some selected executives, fans and media were treated to Manchester United match over Arsenal in full 3D at the Emirates Stadium and at nine secret Pubs around UK that was specially fitted with 3D TV's.  This is just a preview of what's coming when Sky launches their 3D programming in April.  Meanwhile, the US will be debuting its 3D broadcast this summer through DirecTV. Hopefully, the US launch will be as historical as its big sister's across the pond.

Yup, the iPad is out (rumored nickname was iSlate, iTablet) and the GUI looks very similar to the iPhone.  This thing looks sweet.

Four more days and Christmas is here. I'm all packed for Greer, AZ for our white christmas. I have to work 3 nights before Christmas then off to the White Mountains. Looking at the weather forecast, the temps drops down to the 10s at night. Hopefully, we will get some fresh snow. Can't wait.

Well, this is the end of my trip. An exciting journey must come to an end somehow.  I can't wait to be home on my own bed and on my own house.  No more packing and moving.  I am sitting here right now at London Heathrow T5 gazing at this marvelous, architecturally beautiful terminal.  It is so spacious. Pretty soon, I will be boarding my flight back home.  See you guys soon.

Did I say it enough that I LOVED the city of Lisbon?  Well, I will say it again.  I LOVED IT and can't get enough of it.  The people are so nice here.  People greet you Bom Dia or Boa Tarde when you meet them on the street especially the old folks. It's still looks like the old Europe. They are very helpful especially when you ask for direction and they will actually take you to your destination if you were still confused.  

I'm so getting used to their Subways now.  I don't even look at the map anymore.  They are so easy navigate and don't really mind the language difficulties.  As long as I know my destination, I'm OK. When people tells you the direction, the sound of the place doesn't sound like how it spells. But the that city is built on North, South, West and East is not confusing at all.  All I have to remeber is Norte, Sur, Oeste, and Leste and Esquerdo and direito  for my left and right. Then when you buy, all you have to say is quanto é for how much is it?

Lisbon, a beautiful city that has a lot of characters, old colourful buildings and the people are very friendly and hospitable.  This city is so pretty.  Lots of hiking ( I mean up those hills) and they have those Cable cars from San Francisco and Trams (Muni).  The Cable cars and Muni are actually from San Francisco.  The photo above is called Ponte 25 de Abril and it's their version of the Golden Gate and the age is somewhat the same.  The food here are so cheap and very delicious.  They are very fond of seafood especially fish.  I had one tonight and it was to die for.  It reminds me of my childhood in the Philippines when we just cook the new caught fish and cook it right off the beach.  

The language here is Portuguese (duh). It sounds beautiful and kinda similar to Spanish but not really.  I had to learn new language again.  When I was in Spain, I was really doing great Speaking Spanish and can go by with it as long as they will not ask me any long questions.  But here, they say Bom Dia for good morning, Obrigado/a for thank you o for male and a for female.  Denada (you are welcome) is the same as in Spanish.  Some pronunciation here is so different in Spanish and I have to make sure I say it right.  The people here are called Lisboetas (Lish - bo - e - tas) and they are proud of their heritage.  They are very friendly and they speak good English.  I have so many friends here now and they even suggest on where I should go.  Well, tomorrow is another day of adventure again.  I will post some photos soon.
