Not exciting as before for this trip.
Annual meeting hosts at every Jan. at D.C.. It was a good chance to learn and meeting professionals. Unfortunately, I did not feel very helpful. Maybe I came here for few times and each time have a similar pattern.
This time, D.C. welcome us with snow and government shutdown. It was irony that the most conservative way that driving to Chicago is a failure, while the risky way that flight from Houghton is a success. Not to bad that there are still people clean the snowy street at D.C. However, all of the government funded museums are closed.
The annual meeting is almost the same. Small meetings, presentations, and posts. The value way to learn something new is the post time. Listening to some lectures are a torture.
On the way to visit my friend, L. I have chance to stay in the bookstore for a while. There are Lots of magazines and interested books.
Food may be the limited happiness during the trip. Dim Sum at Da Hong Pao Resturant is just so so, but not to bad when abroad.
Another time to have the Spanish food.
The buffet make up the flight.
