Sisteret treated me to a sidetrip to Las Vegas. We really had a blast! :)

We stayed at Planet Hollywood with this view from the window - overlooking Bellagio.

I'm glad i have a slight tag-along syndrome. When i learned that friends submitted papers to attend the WCTR conference, syemps, nakigaya-gaya din. It was a last minute decision and i'm grateful that my sensei had been supportive.

The other Pinoy participants. I have an almost complete-cast-shot with Prof. Deakin but it turned out blurry. Sayang.

On our way back to the dorm, we met Ids on her way to dinner with some friends.

Ids to Daniel: Are you Jane's brother?

Daniel: Ha?!? No!

Hahaha, t'was really funny!

The sessions were scattered in almost more than 10 different buildings. It was a mandatory exercise just moving from one building to another. It was a pain but i wasn't really complaining as the hiking was a good excuse to go out and enjoy the super cool SF weather.

We went to GOOGLE! Yep, we toured Google and even had lunch at their cafeteria.

I'm with Tita Hulya here, she's from Turkey and i did ask her if she knew Yilmaz. Nde daw. Bummer.

Now you know why we were late in the sessions, walking from one building to another was also a photo-ops session.
