Its height is 26 meters. The other 23m obelisk is still standing in there witnessing our greatness in the past and foretelling our greatness in the future.

This is Bay to Breakers, an annual festival of 75,000 people of free expression, limited inhibitions and limitless alcohol
In many countries, especially those in Asia, breakfast is mainly soup. While Americans are slurping cereal at breakfast time many others are breakfasting on a hearty and nourishing soup. The Vietnamese enjoy a delicious bowl of pho, while the Japanese start their day with miso soup, a broth made from fermented soybean paste, and the Chinese favor congee, a rice soup-like porridge perked up with fish, vegetables and herbs. And, in Myanmar, “The Golden Land,” the people enjoy mohinga, which is
Death.
It's finite. It's tragic no matter when, where, how. And when it comes to the loss of a parent who lives in another city or country, it comes with an even heavier weight of guilt, of non-closure and logistics.
But we all deal with death - it's part of life really. And we often leave our home towns before or after college and head to places with better or more unique career opportunities. Sometimes we meet our life partners while away at school or elsewhere and we end up living in their cit
