Sushi

I have never been a big fan of sushi. When friends would gush about how good a sushi place is, I would be thinking "what can be so good about eating raw fish wrapped with rice and other stuff".

Turns out I was very ignorant.

Like any kind of food sushi is an acquired taste. It takes a few trials before you develop the taste for it. Once you do have it, sushi and sashimi are very enjoyable. Thanks to my consulting life, I do not have to worry about where I eat my dinner and am able to try out different things.

I remember the first few years in the US, I would never eat cheeseburgers because I had it in my mind I do not like them. It took Arpan to show me how much I would enjoy them when he made me buy them at an apple farm where they did not have anything else to eat other than grilled burgers.

Tonight we tried out a new sushi place here in Pheonix and turned out to be the best sushi I had in a while. Now that I am full, I can hardly type.

Good night!!! and off to another busy day at work tomorrow!!!!!

Grand Canyon

I never got around to visit this amazing place in all my years in the USA. Not sure why, but it never happened. This client work gave me the opportunity to spend a weekend there and I have to say it is an amazing place.

Sitting on the rim, watching the sun rise or set, with quietness around you is the most wonderful feeling you can have.

For those who have not been, I highly recommend the experience. I would also recommend staying at the lodge in the village and just taking the time to explore at your own pace.

For all those amateur photographers out there, it is a virtual paradise of images. If you have a few days, Sedona (few hrs to the south) is another picture perfect place.

I cannot wait to go back and hike the trail down to the river.
