Technology: Google Earth 5.0

Have you watched the movie "Jumper"? No? I've got a trailer and a poster for you to recall your memory.



It is a movie that talks about a group of people who has special power to teleport to anywhere on this planet at any time. Not to forget that the Chinese story protagonist plus Japanese manga hero Son Goku (the monkey king) can do just the same! He is heating up the cinema all around the world these days!

But you don't need to know how to teleport to travel around the world. Actually, you don't even need to get up from your seat, all you need is a computer connected to the internet, and download the Google Earth 5.0 from the following website:
http://earth.google.com/index.html

Watch how it works on Youtube!

Or take a tour in the website: http://earth.google.com/intl/en/tour.html

I have found my old home in London and a few places I have visited in Hokkaido as well as the Millenium Hilton hotel I stayed in twice in Bangkok!


Hey, what about learning English? Well, how about learning more names of different countries and then plan where to go on your next holiday after sneaking a nice detail preview with this software? Learning English can be done when you go travelling, right?


Apart from visiting different places, there are many things relating to English, and those are the buttons provided in the software, but I can't tell you now as you really need to check this out first by yourself.


Enjoy being a jumper and your teleporting!
