NYR Goes to Ottawa

I am sitting in a three-star hotel with free internet access (wireless cost $9 a day), with a surprisingly good service and facility.

A weired and tiring day turned into something calm and pleasant in this northern capital, cold, snow covered and quiet northern capital--Northen Capital means where I was from, Beijing, but I am in Ottawa of Canada.

I just had a huge Mexican dinner downstairs in the hotel restaurant, while enjoying a fun article in New Yorker about creator of world's top computer Chess program. Everyone is friendly and soft speaking. It actually felt like a break--break from the expectation of great exciting holiday fun and busy year end pre holiday craze of New York city.

While typing these words, I have the tv on a French channel. I felt like listening to French, like the sounding made of swirling of tongue and the fact that I don't understand it. I have a thing for French, frechn canadian, cities, and man and, sometime not understanding what is being said is a blessing.

I agains saw an episode of Sex and the City on one channel earlier and the documentary of John Lennon. I was exposed to too much of these two subjects lately. And I like that, especially John and his songs.

Hopefully tomorrow will be an uneventful day as well and I will get what I want and I do want what I hope to get.
