ALK talk at PJ Hilton

sushi from PJ Hilton, originally uploaded by andreaban2009.

PJ HIlton 's drive down to the basement carpark is murderous. But the parking itself once you( safely) reach the bottom is okay. There is a cosy feeling in the lobby. Something which sadly KL Hilton lacks. Maybe its the space, PJ Hilton has nooks and crannies. And there's a place to the right where it levels off slightly to a row of shops. There was a huge crowd yesterday afternoon. A bunch of school teachers and new students were having a pre-post registration lunch. I was there for an interesting talk on testing for the ALK mutation as a marker for lung cancer. When they said small group discussion...they weren't exaggerating...there were 7 of us in total excluding the speaker and reps. Small! we had a room with large glass panels so I saw the thunder and rain and the sunshine after...from the safety of the room. Lunch was a bento set. Again, a reminder that PJ Hilton serves better food than KL HIlton.

Why the psychedelic lighting

This is the entrance to Le Meridien which to me, is like Cinderella's step sister. Cinderella here being The Hilton. The two hotels are linked and appears symmetrical from some weird angle. In reality, Hilton looks bigger and has more glass areas and appears slightly more inviting.  The irony is, Le Meridien has better food. When you first enter Le Meridien these psychedelic lights hit you right between the eyes. They are a bad choice, making the place look like a high class brothel. It has to go. If you make it through this, you find yourself at the hotel lobby. A slight claustrophobia creeps onto you at this point. Especially when you subconciously compare the space to that of it's siamese twin. So no..despite having slightly better food, you will be bidden by some mysterious call to the Hilton rather than Le Meridien. I cannot finish this post without voicing the disclaimer: I have received no payment from Hilton for this post. I suggest ( midly) that you see for yourself and I dare you disagree:)
