Trip in Europe – Royal Bath and West Show, UK

Trip in Europe – Bath, UK

December 8, 2008
May 30, 2007. Bath (巴斯) famous for its spa. It’s a pity we didn’t get prepared that day. Otherwise it would have been perfect to lay down in a spa instead of walking in a typical British drizzling day.

Apr 3 – 6, 2007. Just for the purpose of renewing US visa for the upcoming Berlin trip. It’s an absolutely boring place. If was not for the fact that mimi was joining me, there was nothing worth recording at all.

Trip to Mexico – Cozumel

December 8, 2008
Feb 17- 20, 2007 ISMRM 1st Molecular Imaging workshop. Cruise from Galveston, TX – Cozumel, Mexico. Not so impressed by things in the final destination (e.g., Maya ruining, beach, etc), but you can’t complain much about a free cruise.
