Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, first time<\/h1>\n

Thursday, raining at evening<\/p>\n

I got up at 7:00 am. I didn’t sleep well these days and
\ndidn’t know why. I called home and Lara refused her grandma
\nto talk with me. She insisted grandma to read the story for her
\nand she’s kept crying. The bad girl is.<\/p>\n

I didn’t go to work today since I had nothing to do there. I bought a new
\nwireless prepaid card and went online as well as I was eating breakfast. Joanne
\nof San Jose office wrote email to me and wanted me to confirm hotel reservation
\nand other issues. I called hotel to confirm the reservation and went online to
\nbook the Hilton at San Francisco. <\/p>\n

I left hotel almost 11:00 am and took metro directly to the Smithsonian
\nStation. I was going to look for the China paint at Freer Gallery,
\nwhich belongs to Smithsonian
\nMuseum. The Freer Gallery is connected with Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, there
\nwas some art exhibitions include China, Islam and others. I stayed at the gallery
\nshop for half hour and bought A Simple Monk, which is the album of Dalai Lama.
\nI also bought another book Music In The Sky, which is talking about the escaped
\n17th Karmapa. What a good books are. I also got a book at the information center
\nand there were some coupons inside. I found that the discount can be 20% if I
\nuse coupon, then I decided go back and get the discount back. It was easy there,
\nthe person just let me get refund and buy as the discounted price. I save more
\nthan 10 dollars.<\/p>\n

I left Sackler Gallery and it was already 2:30 pm. I went to
\nthe African Art Museum, which also belongs to Smithsonian and
\njust faces the Sackler Gallery.
\nThose two building like twin building, the same size but Sackler Gallery had
\nsquare roof and square decoration and African Art Museum has round roof and round
\ndecoration.<\/p>\n


\nInside Sackler Gallery.\n<\/p>\n


\nSquare style designed Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. Took at the same
\nview point as the following picture.<\/p>\n


\nRound style designed National Museum of African Art. Took at
\nthe same view point as the above picture.<\/p>\n

I was really tired and missing mussel so much. There is a huge
\nfood court at Union Station, I decided go there to have a try.
\nI didn’t find mussel and
\ngot Sushi as lunch.<\/p>\n


\nSushi, $10.50 from the food court of the Union Station.<\/p>\n

It was 4:00 pm after I finished my lunch, then took metro back
\nto the hotel. I went online, found Ben Luo and did some chat
\nwith him. <\/p>\n

The hair shampoo I brought this time was without the anti-dandruff
\nfunction,
\nit caused my scalp felt itch all the days. I couldn’t stand it the went
\nout to buy head & shoulders without caring about the raining.<\/p>\n

I also bought supper, which was just a salad. I walked back
\nto the hotel and the rain was even harder.<\/p>\n


\nSupper, $4.99 bought from CVS.\n<\/p>\n

I was updating the website whole evening. 11:33
\npm, I ate the rest noodle yesterday. It was so delicious and
\nI even drank all the sauce off<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
