conference trip to seattle

first time going to conference outside canada for work purpose... it's really a great experience, at least this was the first time I was by myself in a hotel room (haha, don't laugh at me!)

the place that I stayed at... wow... hotel max @ downtown seattle, what a neat place! but the price was crazy -- US$199 per night. luckily it's paid by my company. the hotel has the modern artsie feel in every single corner...

the lobby...




what is that? a painting on the wall? a poster? no, it's the door to my room! mr. schmidt is going to work...


the doors are different...


the bed looks so comfy....haha


paintings on the wall... arrrrr....


I've got another sheep painting by....


flat screen tv.... I didn't want to get out of bed...


amazed by the hotel??

let's talk about the meat of this trip -- conference!

conference place -- the washington state convention and trade center... it's just HUGE!!!





~5000 participants joining the conference, with presentations from 8am till 6pm daily for 5 days! a total of 460 paper sessions, about 30 concurrently taking place in each time slot! so many sessions that I am interested in, but I couldn't split my body to attend them at the same time, haha!! the conference was really an eye-opener!

after the first day of conference, met with Audrey who's studying phd in washington university. had the great great mexican food..... americans make much better mexican food than canadians!







so yummy!!!! I was so full ~~~~~
