Resturant Review


When I don’t have time to wait for a table at a fancy Chinese restaurant, I turn to Panda Express, a Chinese fast food Restaurant. It was founded in 1983 by Andrew Cherng. Now it has 1000 locations in 37 states. It ranks as one of the largest Chinese restaurants in US.
Panda Express has limited menu, offering only 8 entries and 5 side dishes including one of my favorite Orange chicken, chow mein, Egg & Spring rolls etc. Food is prepared ahead of time and is placed in an open view in front of you, which makes customer service faster.
Panda Express sells its food at lower prices than other Chinese Restaurants. You can get one full meal under $6.00.
Atmosphere does not offer much here. There is usually some music playing. No more than 40 seats are available with few panda and plant pictures to look at. There is an open view of kitchen, which is kind of unique, so everything is cleared in front of your eyes.
Overall, Panda Express doesn’t offer wide variety of food but I prefer it once a week over burgers and fries. If I was taking my whole family out, I would rather go to some Chinese restaurant than Panda Express.

Ford, My Ford: POW # 3

In Brave New World, "Ford"- the founder of Ford Motor Company and the Assembly line, is mentioned all over the place in the book. He is replaced in place of god, just like technology over people. I think of it as a situational irony because we (maybe John) will never expect him to be a god in the future. Huxley is trying to say that we are spending too much time in technology and we are just waiting for technology to overtake us. Daily examples are texting all the time, Video Games instead of playing outside etc. People are getting lazy and are heading toward becoming this:

Home Alone 3 - Movie Review

Have you ever wondered what would happen to your home when you leave your son alone? Check this out! Home Alone 3 by John Hughes is based on a crazy boy named Alex.
                Alex is playing a role of a boy who is left home alone and has to defend his home from robbers. Alex accidently receives a valuable missile clocking computer chip and four thieves are after him to get back that chip. Alex calls police two times when he see the thieves but they manage to escape right on time and the next time police thinks that he is lying so he decides to take matter in his own hands. From here, the story begins with lot of fun, hilarious gags and traps.
                The jokes are definitely smart and characters are fleshed-out, plus Scarlett Johnson fans get to see her in a big part as Alex’s older sister. The punishment given to the villains are funny but many of them are also cruel so keep that in mind while going to watch this movie with kids.
                Parents need to know that in Home Alone 3 the bad guys get really banged up by a smart little kid. Sensitive kids might be frightened by the fact that these bad guys have real guns and are hunting down an Eight year old boy. More importantly, this movie is intended to entertain rather than educate.
                I will recommend this movie to the kids rather than grownups. If you are big fan of Home Alone I and II, then you got to check this one out. The movie is new, fresh, well acted and had good directions.
