Officially, Spring started March 20th, and I see the daffodils and the camellias already leading the charge, as they pop up everywhere each Spring here in Seattle.
And there are at least several hundred other unique and beautiful flowers, just within a 10-mile radius of Seattle, that will soon reappear and present an encore of last year’s performance, to those who eagerly await their arrival, as well as to some who noticed them before but didn’t REALLY SEE them.
When I travel, I don’t usually request a specific room at the hotels. Sometimes I might ask for one with a water view if available.

TRIP TO SWITZERLAND
So one day as I was thinking about my upcoming trip to Switzerland, which will be my last trip for this year (2015), I recalled a time when I was in South Korea and I occasionally went to a restaurant, in Itaewon, which was located close to Embassy housing at that time.
