2010/09/18 - BBQ and Beaches in Carlsbad


Without a cellphone and a vehicle I had been completely handicapped or paralyzed for a week. Looking back to the school and college days, where cellphones were not there or uncommon, it is hard to believe that we existed in such a time. It is sure to be one of the greatest inventions of the humans although it has its own bad sides as well. As a matter, any invention has its own goods and bads. We have seen the evil side of the greatest invention that a man has ever done - nuclear energy. Well, coming back to the present, I bought T Mobile's prepaid sim card for my phone today to come out of the paralysis.. well at least partially.

There are many people from Mexico over here. Mexicans are all basically hardworking, easy-
going and music-loving. There are some Mexicans in the hotel crew especially in the kitchen. They play music, sing along with it and dance to the rhythm.. all along with their work. They are loyal to the job they are into and do complete it on time. Mexican food is world famous. We had a team offsite (picnic) from Yahoo yesterday to Aviara community park. It's a large, well-maintained park where there are separate places for playing baseball, soccer etc, walking and partying. There were some BBQ and other dishes made in the Mexican way. It takes up to half an hour for making a Mexican BBQ burger in the classical way. That is, by exposing it to prolonged heat in low-intensity.

Carlsbad is in the west cost of US along Pacific Ocean. It has a very long coastal area. A drive
along the freeway that goes along the beaches would be an unforgettable experience for anyone. I was lucky enough to have two of my colleagues coming forward and offering me to take me out to the beaches. I would likely try to make it myself again tomorrow.
