The Find the Landmark Game

Category: January 2012



 

Jan 6, 2012 - Today I was a bit bored and so I decided to come up with a new game called "Find the Landmark". I think I was inspired by my most favorite show "The Amazing Race". Th game is quite simple really. You take two sheets of paper. On one paper, you need to write the name of a city and on the other paper you need to write the name of a famous landmark in that city. You create as many sets of these city and landmarks as you want. I created a few of them.

  1. Agra - Taj Mahal
  2. Dallas - Dallas Zoo
  3. Auckland - Sky Tower
  4. Hyderabad - Buddha Statue
  5. New York - Times Square
  6. Tokyo - Mishta Square (a friend told me about this but I am not sure)
Once you create these sets, you find spots in your house where you hide these papers along with a pencil. Have your friends and family search for these papers. Once they find it, they need to sign their name so we know who has found them.

My first players were my parents and they had a lot of fun playing this game. They were able to find the landmarks. I will play this again soon with new landmarks.

Celebrating the New Year with Phineas and Ferb

Jan 1, 2012 - First, I would like to wish all my friends and family a wonderful 2012. Its always nice to start the year with something exciting and my parents had a wonderful surprise for me. They had booked tickets to the Phineas and Ferb Live tour which happened to be passing through Dallas this weekend. We woke up a bit late (partying and all that stuff you know), had a nice good breakfast and was ready for the show. My mother had my "Phineas and Ferb" t-shirt ready to go as well. We had to drive to the city of Garland where the show was going to be held. There must have been 1000-1500 people at the show today.  The show started on time and it had all the characters from the show including Phineas and Ferb (of course), Candace, Jeremy, Isabella, Stacy, Buford and Beljeet. Of course Perry and Dr Doofablahblah (I will call him Dr D) were there as well.

The show was for about 90 minutes and was broken into 2 acts. Its mostly a musical act and they play a lot of the popular Phineas and Ferb songs such as Backyard Beach, Robot Riot, Everything's better with Perry and many other songs. They also had a cool Bollywood song too (see the video below). If you like Phineas and Ferb and their songs then you will love this show. I had a great time and it was a great way to kick off the new year.
