Bed and Breakfast Facepalms

By
During the last 2 months and after reviewing more than 300 Bed and Breakfast locations for my upcoming trip, I came across some funny and cringe-worthy things.  Here are some interesting ones.

In no particular order:

Owners:

  • Advertising on a Bed and Breakfast site, but noting that no breakfast is offered.
  • I will have different price for every month, I hope it is not confusing.
  • Reading lamp is an amenity worth mentioning.
  • There is no place for a small fridge in the room, but the fridge is needed.  Let's put it in the bathroom. Might as well put the microwave on top of it too, because why not?
  • 'Penalty' if no cancellation notification in 24 hours (OK, they're excused because they said they speak German)
  • A flash player website is no longer acceptable!
  • The link for your site goes to iCloud.. why?
  • Splash pages are still a thing in 2018?
  • Our suite features a colour television. (I did not know black and white TVs are still a thing.)
  • I will tag myself on every town around so I come up with every search
  • If you do not serve breakfast, do not include breakfast pictures!

Reviews:

  • This old house has squeaky floors.
  • Continental breakfast did not include cheese or eggs, just toast.
  • My stay was perfect... 4 out of 5 stars
  • Towels were not white.. my vacation is ruined.
  • Too many carbs during breakfast.. but I had to eat it all.
  • I'm a light sleeper and the road is too noisy
  • My stay was perfect... 1 out of 5 stars
In the end we were able to find very nice bed and breakfast places and we are looking forward to visiting them.

New Years Resolutions

By
Beginning of September feels just like the beginning of the year and I always think of doing something new or different. My first choice is often education, since it is the beginning of the new school year and more institutions offer classes that will help me my artistic and personal development.  I checked OCAD ( http://www.ocadu.ca/programs/continuing_studies.htm ) for their Saturday courses and I found that the "Portraiture fundamentals" course is offered this fall.  I want to take this course as I never did any formal sculpting and the idea of this course is very appealing to me.  The course starts with 3 classes of sculpting of a human head and then 3 classes of drawing. Unfortunately I realized that I cannot take any Saturday courses due to the recording session in October for the new CD with Mississauga Festival Choir.  I also find the weekday courses very tiring as I would need to go to these classes right after work with practically no dinner and get...

Alps - Mississauga Festival Choir Europe Tour 2014

By
From Vienna we drove into the Alps.  It was fun watching the mountains growing in front of us. Even with a glare on the bus windows I tried to take some pictures of the experience of driving through the Alps and its fabulous lakes. The destination of our trip was Hallstatt.  A tiny town with absolute stunning views!  Our short visit to Hallstatt included singing at the Lutheran Church of Hallstatt which is a well known landmark with its tall picked roof rising above the town. We then continued our trip to Saltzburg.  Here are some additional mountain pictures that I was able to capture on the way. Hallstatt is one of the places I plan to visit again and stay for at least a week if not more relaxing, looking and hiking at the mountains and enjoying the peace and quiet of the place.
