Life at the Top

Time passed by as they waited.

Tommy was a backpack traveler. In the year 2001, all he had was his traveling backpack on him. He got his clothes and camping tent, some electronic devices in his backpack, and a portable DV camera. That was all the equipment he got.

Tommy made a living by recording down the beautiful sceneries and his travel stories in different countries all around the world with his DV camera and uploaded it to the internet.

Tommy stood on top of another skyscraper which was opposite to it, facing the camera, the Twin Towers of World Trade Center stood tall behind him.
