Places have Vibes

I was at another educational institute couple of days back for a couple of nights. reached there one evening, spent the complete days and then came away the next morning. The hospitality was nice, my presentations went well; those are some factors that may have played the part. But then the hospitality bit was apparent only after the day has gone by completely and the organizers let us know that they'll pick up the tab on the hotel bill. Presentations happened in the evening and until then I could not have felt good because of this factor. However, I felt good about the seminar right from the morning. Ditto about the institute, the way everyone was friendly and smiling and so on.

There is something always that you cannot define, nor analyze rationally that quite often gives you positive and negative feelings about a place, even before you have enough data to analyze things objectively. That's what must be this thing, commonly known as the "vibes"!
