This is one really cool program from Google. You just type in the field where you want to go, anywhere in the world, and Google Earth will fly (yes, fly!) you there in seconds.

Weeks later in our class, during a short break, we decided to roam around the Earth and zoom in to every thinkable spot in the world. We visited France, US, Canada, China, etc. Then somebody said Philippines, then everybody went ayyyy....we were greeted by the hazy picture above. But the surprise of our life came when the big man said that he can pinpoint the roof of his house if we just go to Bulacan. So off we went to Guiguinto. What we saw next left everyone awed and a tad proud knowing that our country, despite all the hullaballoo, is not really that left out in terms of technology (we do wiretapping first class!).
