ALA continued

ALA is huge! I spent two days but could not go for all. That is amazing! Last night, we went to Universal Movie Theater and had a lot of funs. I dare not to go back although i really appreciate technology and innovation at the movie shows. Tonight, I will see the 9-11 Farenheight, a controversy movie. Let me see and tell you later, Bye

ALA Orlando

The weather in Orlando is somehow similar to HCMC (Saigon)- Vietnam. Yesterday, there was a big thunder storm, but it stopped at midnight. American people are so lucky! Everything here is cheaper than even in Vietnam. A home theatre costs only $300! A good T-shirt is only 2 bucks. ALA Conference is the national one and it is huge and very well-organized. We come to see and pick up small gifts from many vendors. This is the day for all American librarians. There are so many lectures and presentations. Technology is making library work even more efficient, important in the coming decades.

Bye Bye Boston

Bye Bye Boston, I am heading for Orlando tomorrow. Today, the Chair of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts House of Representatives Marie J. Parente receives us and gives us a tour in the MA State House. It is surprised to me, she becomes the tour guide and explains us the history of over 300 years of Boston, MA. Probably, when I come back Vietnam, I should introduce this story to Vietnamese National Assembly Members or raise an issue such as How to do marketing for the public sector. That is an interesting topic. Do you think so?

There are many things to tell you

Hi, friends, I have many things to to tell you when I come back! Today, we witness a trial and meet with many judges at Middlesex District Court. In the afternoon, we have a lecture done by an expert from Havard Law School. She introduces some new technologies that can help people locate legal information on the web. She also talks about Blog that my PAO introduced me one month ago. If you are interested in creating a blog for your own, please view my blog at http://vodaco.blogspot.com Cheers,

I like Boston!

Hello friends, I have a good time in Boston. The weather is so nice. Transportation is convenience with T-system although I made a mistake at the first night by not remembering the name of the first T station i started. This mistake gave me an expense of $15 instead of paying only $1.25 for the T trip back to Simmons College. Yesterday, my colleagues from China and I went to New England Aquarium and Havard College. At Havard Square, some folks played guitar, sang very interesting songs. This was so romantic. I have been seen this in many city streets such as Denver, Boulder, CO and Nashville, TN. However, I may say, I like Boston most! It is a real cultural exploration trip, isn't it?

I am in DC

This is the third time I am in the U.S., but is the first one in DC. It is hard to believe even it is true that Washington DC has been created by human being's intention rather it was just become the capital of the U.S. On Sunday, we had a tour to many historic building in DC. It is only one day but information we got as much as a week reading books. Talk to you more...
