On my way back from China, I had a 12-hour layover in Seattle, from 8am to 8pm. I knew I didn’t want to sit in the airport for so many hours, but I hadn’t done any research on what to do or what to see in Seattle, I thought I would just be spontaneous. Arriving in Seattle, not having a clue where to begin, I asked my friends on Facebook for suggestions. I ended up stopping by the Public Market Place, which had selection of vendors ranging from arts and crafts, produce, and a lot of other souvenirs. I also felt like a tourist and visited the Space Needle and Seattle Center. I made my last stop at Chinatown. I just had to see it because the only two Chinatowns I had been to were in Boston and NYC. Seattle Chinatown wasn’t that different, but the waitress at the restaurant I stopped by for lunch was really nice and offered me a free appetizer.
