COFFEE & BISCUITS

Indeed, the 3rd time is the charm.

This is my 3rd time to stay in Washington DC, and I have never enjoyed it more, one week into my stay.  Although so far I have been staying in the ghetto area, I’ve realized some of my secretly relished dreams.

1.  I found a cheap liquidation mart in the ghetto area.  Living in DC for 2 years between 2004-2006, I always loathe that there’s not gigantic chain store i.e. K-Mart, Walmart, Target in the district area.  So it turns out the gigantic discount store is located in the ghetto!  There I can buy cheap bedsheets and cheap furnitures.

2.  I had dinner at Afterwords (my favorite favorite favorite restaurant! (behind Kramers bookstore), lunch at Luna Grill, dinner at this outdoor cool place on 17th street and had mango margarita, and dinner at another diner at Union Station, soon dinner at another of my favorite favorite at Ebbit Grill, and soon Vanilla Custard at Old Town Alexandria.  The lack of choices of restaurants in Hyde Park has given me a new appreciation for the variety of bars and restaurants that DC has to offer.  And I seek these restaurants boldly and enthusiastically.  Oh how I love the choice of food DC has to offer!  How decadent!

3.  Today at my old workplace, a former colleague remarked I carried myself now more maturely.  I know the truth of that statement, as now when I walk into a bar, I level my glances in a calm surveillance of the environment.  I can hold my Bud Light (3 beers in a row), and I can sit by myself at the bar table and strike coversations with strangers while holding my poise. (at least I think I have)
