NEW YORK - Tourists coming to ground zero to see the Sept. 11 memorial often peer through a fenced-off construction site for a glimpse and ask street vendors when it will be built.

It will be at least two years before the memorial to the 2001 terrorist attacks opens to the public. But in an old camera shop northeast of the World Trade Center site, visitors will be able to watch live video of the construction, record their 9/11 memories and even leave with a souvenir.

The foundation that will run the finished memorial and museum built the 9/11 Memorial Preview Site, hoping to attract the hundreds of thousands of tourists a year who come to ground zero looking for a 9/11 story and finding a giant construction site. The Tribute WTC Visitor Center, a small gallery on the south side of the site, charges $10 admission and says it brings in 300,000 tourists a year.

It won't cost anything to get into the preview site, although the foundation will sell memorabilia, including 9/11 memorial pins, books and DVDs, to raise money for the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

The foundation also wants to present an alternative to stories tourists hear on the street about the plans for the site, president Joseph Daniels said.

"Every single day, I'm walking by these guys who are selling the flip books to tourists," Daniels said. "These tourists are asking questions about what's getting built. ... We see a tremendous interest in what's happening here."

The 3,000-square-foot (280-sq. meter) space will feature models and renderings of "Reflecting Absence," the design for twin reflecting pools with cascading waterfalls where the trade center towers had stood, surrounded by nearly 3,000 victims' names.

Live webcam video of the construction will be displayed on a giant screen. In a recording booth, visitors will be able to speak for 3 minutes about where they were, and what they remember of Sept. 11, 2001. The recordings — visitors can share their stories in any language — will enter the permanent collection of the 9/11 museum and become part of an introductory exhibit.

Laurie Arrow, an Auckland, New Zealand, tourist who peered into the site on Liberty Street, said he'd like to record his 9/11 story.

"I was due to fly to America the day after," he said. "It never happened."

Arrow was surprised to see the level of construction activity at the site. "There's quite a lot of activity going on."

Builders say the first skyscraper will be completed by 2013; a transit hub, the memorial and a second tower are under construction.

Although the site will focus on the memorial plans, there will be renderings of the office towers and transit hub as well. A few pieces from the museum's permanent collection also will be on display, including a 7-foot (2.13-meter) Statue of Liberty covered with photos, dried flowers and 9/11 condolence cards that stood for months outside a midtown Manhattan firehouse after the attacks.

The Starr International Foundation, a Swiss charity that has donated $1 million previously to the foundation, donated $600,000 to build the preview site.

More than $350 million has been raised privately for the 8-acre memorial, which would set the waterfall-filled pools in a cobblestoned, tree-covered plaza.

Builders said the memorial will open to the public on the attacks' 10th anniversary, although some parts of the aboveground plaza won't be finished. The museum, being built underneath the memorial, is slated to open a year later.

Meeting other people

Even considering the fact that I am a businesswoman who really likes to implement rules at home, the truth is that my daughter has never followed my orders very much and one of the reasons why she is now a gothic!

Still, as she belongs to this special group of people, it is often difficult for her to find some new friends and that’s why she often tries to find the best chat rooms around the Internet to find other gothic youngsters. As a matter of fact, we have recently found this free gothic chat for her and she couldn’t be more excited with the possibility of chatting with thousands of other gothic persons around the world and that really makes me feel happy for her too.

LONDON - Heathrow Airport has hired a writer-in-residence to chronicle the modern travel experience in hopes of showing frazzled passengers there's more to flying than long lines and waiting.

Alain de Botton, author of highbrow best-sellers including "The Consolations of Philosophy" and "How Proust Can Change Your Life," is spending a week inside Heathrow's Terminal 5, the airport said Wednesday.

De Botton began his stint Tuesday and spends some of the time sitting behind a desk in the departures area, observing and interviewing passengers and staff.

De Botton, 39, said airport officials had agreed to give him full access to the terminal and to allow him to write what he likes. The airport hopes the project will give readers a more rounded picture of what goes on behind the scenes.

"My agent and I devised the cockroach test: in other words, I had to be allowed to discuss every last cockroach I might spot at the airport if that's what I felt like doing," he wrote in Wednesday's Evening Standard newspaper.

He said airports — so often thought of as places to be endured — were fascinating locations where big global themes including technology, globalization, consumerism and the environment came to life.

"If you wanted to take a Martian to a single place that best captures everything that is distinctive and particular to modern civilization, in its highs and lows, you would undoubtedly take them to the airport," said de Botton, whose latest book is "The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work."Overcrowded Heathrow is Europe's busiest airport, but far from the best-loved.

Terminal 5, designed to modernize and expand the airport, opened last year in a blaze of negative publicity. Hundreds of flights were canceled and thousands of pieces of luggage lost after the terminal's high-tech baggage-handling system broke down.

Heathrow chief operating officer Mike Brown conceded that opening the airport up to a writer's scrutiny was "a bold and adventurous step."

De Botton's observations will be collected in a book scheduled to be published next month. Some 10,000 copies will be given away free to travelers at Heathrow.

Heathrow says it is the first airport to employ a writer-in-residence, but in-house writers have been adopted by institutions from prisons, shopping malls and football teams to London's ritzy Savoy Hotel.
