The Metropolitan Musuem of Arts - New York

One weekend I was in NY, Bank of America had the Musuem on Us deal where I could go in to any musuem in the city of NY for free.. well Bank of America paid for my entrance. I did 1/2 a day at the Met and had  glimpse of the art from the all the different cultures of the world. While I was there, I also got the chance to see the Alexander McQueen Exhibit, which was kind of spooky.. but very well designed exhibit !

Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City

I visited the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Musuem while in NY. It's a musuem built on top of an old army Aircraft carrier - the Intrepid. It was interesting seeing the evolution of fighter planes and helicopters from the early days to what they are right now..

Free weekend @ California Academy of Sciences

This weekend was the free weekend for residents of Marina, North Beach and Russian Hill Neighborhoods. Took the opportunity to go and check it out. If you live in San Francisco, your neighborhood also has its free weekend - check it out when is yours at  http://www.calacademy.org/visit/plan_a_visit/sf_free_days.php

Was not too impressed with it though, having seen much better in Asia, but its a great place for kids.

The best part of it was the amazonian Rainforest replica with free flying butterflies and birds. Does not beat Jurong Bird Park in Singapore though. And yeah, that white crocodile is real.. its a rare albino crocodile.
