Coming Up: Las$$$ Vega$$$!

Hurrah!! I'm heading to Vegas tomorrow. I will be there for about 3 three days. Plans include checking out the eye-dazzling Las Vegas Strip, a little casino hopping, and if possible, check out the some show. Now, I'm NOT a big fan of gambling or any other thing that the Sin City is famous for. I'm purely going there for the fun of it.

We also have some outside-the-city trips planned: one to the famous Hoover dam, the other to the Red Rock canyon. Hoover dam is a "sure" on our trip - I have dreamed of visiting it for a long time. We will see about the Red Rock, and time permitting, we will go there.

As always, I shall post the photos soon! Keep your attentions right here!

A New York Weekend!

Yeah! We decided to go to New York for the weekend and have ourselves a good time! With its proximity to DC, New York makes a nice weekend get away - let it be for hanging out, sightseeing, or for shopping. Even better, I have a friend who has a bachelor uncle to host us! We had a nice time in NYC! Check out the photos.

No such thing as free beer? Think again!

OK..OK! We have heard this cliche phrase many times - "There is no such thing as free lunch" or, mostly in a guys' world, "There is no such thing as free beer!". Well, my friends! think again. I won not only free beer, but free drinks for a couple of hours! In other words, I won a happy hour in one of the DC bars! Story?, you might ask. Here it is...

A month or so ago, a friend of mine won this happy hour and invited all of us to join her. We joined her and while in the bar, the waitress asked us if we would like to sign up for the "sweepstakes" so that we can win a happy hour just like our dear little friend. I laughed out loud, and asked her if it is a "scheme" to sell our personal information. She assured me that it will be used only for drawing a winner. I signed up jokingly.

Well, about a week ago, I got an email saying I won the happy hour! I get free drinks, and my friends get their drinks for $1 each. Not a bad way to get together and celebrate the beginning of the new year, eh?! : )

Disclaimer: Of course, I will be drinking in moderation, and I suggest you do so too! : )

Montréal was great!

Montréal is like mini-France with North American look. It is a mix of little European city and a large North American downtown. Since most people in Montréal, or Québec for that matter, speak French, I had a chance to practice my broken French a little bit, but I guess I got by just fine. Being a northern city, it has cold winters with lots of snow, and this along with the holiday lighting and atmosphere made it look like a little winter wonderland. Of course, I would love to go back there in Summer and enjoy a leisure lunch at a bistro with a glass of wine. Also, it'd be awesome to see some green and flower pots. Check out the photos!
