Field Trip Week

I am on a week long field trip starting today (.net training) in Miami. Down at the beautiful Mall of the Americas, not to be confused with the Mall of America. It is a mall from the 70's and about 25% empty. The offices of New Horizons training are upstairs from the mall. Aside from almost being run off the road at the I-75/826 junction the drive was fine. Their offices are fine, but the hallways around it are not. As soon as you step inside, the smell of burnt plastic is in the air. Numerous tiles have been removed from the floor, warded by yellow tape barriers like a construction crime scene. The hallway to get to the bathroom takes three different turns and I was quite sure I had missed it before I happened upon it. The halls were wide, exactly 8 tiles and very tall with flickering fluorescents. I felt like I was in a horror film or a FPS.
On the bright side, there is a food court and an arcade, as well as a Tiger Direct retail store. I didn't know they had brick and mortar.
the training is interesting, mentored learning.
