Trips to Brisbane, Seattle, Madrid, and Shanghai (2018)
2024-06-14
In 2018 I went to Brisbane, Seattle, Madrid, and Shanghai.
1 2018-05: Brisbane, Australia
I went to Brisbane for the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA). I was very impressed with how clean and modern the city was, and the fact that housing is very affordable compared to San Francisco thanks to the construction of numerous high rise buildings.
