Whenever going south from Seattle or coming back from south, I always wondered why I-5 always backs up from JBLM, when in the world we will see this decade long I-5 expansion finished… Also, on the same freeway around the base, I encountered the flying (actually landing) aircraft closest ever to me in my life (thought it was landing over my car) while driving I-5 once, and also remember lots of yellow scarfs on the freeway overpass at base – all made me wonder what is actually in inside of these military bases (actually joint base between Army and Air Force – so two bases)

Well, this one big question solved luckily from one invite from family residing in the base at the last part of summer πŸ™‚ so this was my first US military base/garrison visit after Yongsan/Seoul garrison weekend visit during 90s πŸ™‚

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Went there without any expectation/anticipation but amazed with high quality of the movie’s storylines camera works – (and also the first Movie Theater after pandemic) Also great to see some familiar faces I usually find at Hong Kong movies in past.. πŸ™‚ Felt like a great Hong Kong historical action SF + a bit of Avatar & 007 + a little of Kim’s conv + few spoons of Hollywood movie + strong taste of Marvel Avengers..
