The Trip to Kansas

We went to Kansas City for Thanksgiving. We had great Chinese food every meal. Biajee got a stomache flu throughout the four days we were there so he wasn't able to enjoy the gourmet food very much.

We went to Union Station in downtown. There were toy trains set up for running for the holidays, which got Arnold very excited. We also stopped by Hallmark Visitor Center, which is at the headquarters of Hallmark. We saw how a greeting card was made and even asked for one.

We stopped by Nebraska Furniture Mart and Restaurant Depot.

Nebraska Furniture Mart is such a perfect example of a retail store that it killed all the furniture business in the Kansas area. I would cry if I had to compete directly with them.

Restaurant Depot is similar to Home Depot, but targeting the restaurant business. It is still a private firm with 75 stores. Every store is staffed with previous restaurant owners or chefs. They certainly have a market niche.

I'm scheduled to go for the Oath Ceremony for US citizenship on Dec. 16th in Fort Smith. What a busy month.
