Lunch At The Science Center

when i say lunch  back in home its mean just a meal but here when i say lunch or hear the word lunch back their in my mind i hear go on its new opportunity to learn something new in iraqi people don't tend to talk while they are eating but here the most beneficial talk happen in the lunch time because people will talk freely and they always talk about their experience and how the overcome the obstacle they have in life and that the kind of stories i want to hear and benefit from.
Marti and Christine are invited us to lunch we sit down and talk about iraqi technology,politics and business one of the thing we talk about is the difficulty we face as intern to transform what ever we find here in US back their to iraq because here in US we find many ideas and they are really good and at the same time they don't applicable in iraq because we don't have the infrastructure nor the mind set to make these project work .Marti was very nice to share with me this story about here mother she said when she was in mexico and she was from a poor family when ever she want a custom her mother make something from the closet she gather small things and then she made a good custom for her . she continued that our rule as intern want to apply these idea in iraq is to find a way its all about creativity and she emphasizes on this  don't wait do it with what you get find a way.
after we complete the meal the science center team was bring to us some gifts and free ticket to access the science center again they are so nice people they gave us their card and invite us to come again and contact them when ever we want to come.
after that i thought that i saw everything but i was wrong there is more interested stuff there than i can imagine we saw a little kids playing with toys they build the arch (a very famous building in st louis)
we cross to the other building and beneath it the street and they have a device you point it to the car and you can see in the screen how fast the driver is driving.

the other building for the science center deal with space we met a very kind gentleman but i forget his name he help us a lot gave us lots of information about the center and guided us in the tour

we saw a little bit of history of the space ships we calculate how much money we need to pay in order to get to the space they have a nice device that calculate your weight and give you the amount of money you have to pay.
and i was thinking people don't need to participate in the "biggest loser show" in order to lose weight they just have to come to saint louis science center and see how much difference one kilo can make in cost the device calculate that i have to pay 1645000 $ in order to go to the space.
then we move to another place which is really unique  in the whole world its contain a device have the ability to show you the stars and moon and other planets and Patric ask to get back to the night we were born to see how its look like this and its look like this

             the night i was born
then we go to see and touch the rock from space and they told me that the only place i can do so 

after that we saw a live broadcast to the space station and one of them is from st louis
it was a great day i saw things that i never dream to see before 
i want to thank Patric and Debra and i am sorry she left early because she have a meeting
and i wanna thanks all people in Science center for the wonderful tour.
