Google Earth!!!

Hey friends,

I am so EXCITED to share this with you. Ever since a friend told me about it, I have been addicted to it. A program called Google Earth is the culprit. Google Earth is a 3D interface, for you to look at places around the world. You can zoom right into the city where you live in. It is very precise and accurate. I have already located my home in Jeddah right down to the rooftop. I have located my house in Sharjah. I have located my house in Pakistan right down to the road it is on.

I also checked out my brother's place in London, where the satellite image is so amazingly clear. I also saw the Sainsbury and the high street close to his house. I also checked out my dorm building in Texas at the university I was at. It's just so unbelievable and so precise.....I need to go on it again....

Well, one thing, you need to have a high speed connection. Then, once you know your geography well, you should be able to locate the house. I managed to locate it following the road out from the Lahore airport, and then all around the aiport into cantt. Once there, you should see sarwarroad, and eventually nisar road. The roads are not marked, but its pretty obvious from the satellite image.
