Cima raggiunta..!

Fantastic experience in Vancouver..my presentation was very good, I'm pretty satisfied, as rarely happens to me, kika...the "wet little bird"...!

I'm really grateful to my tutor here at MIT for the patience he had with me and for his useful and constant suggestions.
And now..I really need to have a break, even though I feel so energized, so excited by all the presentations I've seen and by all the people I met.

Besides attending the conference, I went hiking on Saturday with Bruce and Antonio. A very long but "rejuvenating" walk across Stanley Park (although I got a cold there!).
Then we went back to Downtown to get a Gelato, then we moved for satisfying our 7.5 level of hunger, without knowing that an "extreme weird dinner" at a restaurant called Diavolo was waiting for us..! 50% of the food was not available...it was semi-empty with the exception of 5-6 women celebrating the "baby shower" (or baby washing...ahahah!).

And finally we spent the last hours of our trip in Vancouver attending a nice Jazz concert where I "earned" some compliments from an odd, old man ("You have a wonderful smile, miss..!). "At least the smile..I should have replied..!!

Vancouver has a great percentage of Asian and Caucasian people. At the airport the second language they used for calling passengers was Japanese!!!
The only awful aspect of Vancouver were those glass buildings, in perfect 70s style...brr..
