A Pilgrimage

March 21^st 

Kenwood, Maryland

      People came to this private community to watch cherry blossoms. Since its elegant houses and beautiful flowers, for many tourists the neighborhood becomes a part of the trip in Metro Washington during the early spring. It was amazing to walk in the streets having a flowers canopy.

A Trip with Low Returns

-->March 8^th

       

      If it were not the EEA annual conference was held in Boston, I couldn't participate in it. I flew to Boston one day prior to the conference day. As usual, I kept awake for the early flight departing at 9am. I was tired while arriving the hotel by subway.

      Boston Park Plaza is a well-known historical hotel located in the old Boston area. However, its service was quite disappointing. I booked a room with a king size bed one month ago, but the hotel gave me a room with double twin beds. The one-night cost $185 didn't include a breakfast and the Internet connection. No refrigerator in the room. What bothered me the most was I have to call room service for a razor and a toothbrush or they are not available.
