Observations

Went into the Seattle Centre again this evening to do the Space needle at night; they were doing a buy one get one free on visits. Today the lift operator told me the Space needle was the 6th tallest building in Seattle. Its getting overtaken by the day!
I did, however, discover that unlike in the UK, Starbucks' don't seem to shut. Though I was slightly disappointed to see that Boeing have a contract with Tully's, not Starbucks.
Also, ever TV programme in the US has to be sponsored by a least 2 companies. Family Guy is sponsored by the US Air Force and Taco Bell!
Both yesterday and today when I bought lunch I got strange looks for buying a salad. I couldn't finish them, but apparently my meal was only a side dish.
Finally, I knew about it before, but American TV shows have an Ad break every 5 mins. I keep changing the channel thinking the show has finished.
