I was in Los Angeles so I could not miss the Getty Center, especially as the admission was free. I liked it very much – it is a must for anyone visiting L.A. The Getty Center is operated by the J. Paul Getty Trust, which is the world’s wealthiest art institution. The trust was established…
I have seen it countless of times: After they wash and wipe their hands, (some) people don’t want to touch anything and it comes down to this. What I do, and I suppose most people do the same, is open the flap with the tissue and then let it drop through the opening, but…

Boarding on the Lufthansa plane to Frankfurt, I picked up the German edition of the Financial Times. I would have preferred the English version, but they did not have it. I can’t…

The photo was taken in Seattle and the tree is made of stainless steel I think.
I unsubscribed from Expedia for the first time on July 15, then again July 21 and 29, and yet I continued to receive promotional e-mails. I tried again on August 1, 4, and 11, all to no avail. The e-mails still flooded my inbox. Finally, I wrote to customer service, and the e-mails stopped. Could…
On Thursday evening our flight was late, so naturally we wanted to change it. They were too busy at the lounge to help, and told us to go to Customer Service (they may have also said the flight we wanted was full, but I’m not sure). There was already a huge line at Customer Service,…
