missing something


Whenever i visit a new place, esp big cities, i always look forward to a bonus side trip in the suburbia. And soo happy indeed that in this return trip to Washington DC (from NY) on Memorials day, we did manage to find time to dine in a Chinese resto in Fairfax, around 15min drive from DC. The bonus dinner trip was courtesy of her graciousness Ms. Grace Valera, the lifestyle editor of migrant heritage chronicle-a DC based magazine.
it was 10pm late when we hit the road back to NY, passing through the states of Virginia (not sure aktwali kung state nga ba to? haha) Philadelphia-where bob lost his way twice, Baltimore, Atlantic City (may sign board going there lang), New jersey- the border of NY ..so exciting it was that we travelled 7hours instead of 4hrs lang! kaya umaga na pagdating NY.
in my 14day US trip, every single day was jammed with fruitful activities, accomplished business, new friends, and good memories..yet i still have this nagging feeling that i miss something... or someplace?
o baka someone?@#?

zurich's hometown attitude

zurich, switzerland
5jun2010,7am

at 9degree C, the cold summer breeze and the sweet scent of the alps brought me a familiar chill.
its now almost a year when i first arrived here, but this city never lose its charm on me.
cant help comparing Swiss Airport hometown hospitality and service to visitors as compared to other bigger cities .. but at this beautiful early morning, reserve ko muna energy ko at ayoko magsalita ng di maganda, so i will only happily talk about the free wi-fi / public internet and yes, the delightful hefty breakfast free only at Swiss Flughafen..
walang ganyan sa NY or sa Paris sorry!

Memorial Day in DC, 31May2010


celebrating memorial day in DC yesterday is one of my most memorable days in this trip.

why? becoz we were on the road 24hrs and were soo dead tired when we got back to New york at 5am next day, thats why!

and dya know that in DC-the US capital city, at this very day where people were feasting and drinking beer in honor of the war heroes, dya know that all shops: cafe/bar/resto/mall and even the 24hr convenient stores closed at 6pm? goodness! i was dying from dehydration we couldnt find any store within the next 1000mtr (i walked farther nu!) radius of the white house! i told myself if darkness prevails in the next block, i shall return and willl have to ask tito barack to serve us drinks... and then there was light at the end of the tunnel..there was mc do!
