It’s been almost a year since I’ve left Beijing and I still think about how the city landscape was in such dramatic change while I was there, as I’m sure it still is. At that time I also met Jonah Kessel (via Twitter), who filmed a series of short videos for Asia Society, the first is titled “A Disappearing World.” [...]

Flickr uploads from Yunnan Province
Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season The recent few days of public holiday in Hong Kong have been rather nice for the Christmas season. As a result, I’ve finally had the chance to do some end-of-the-year cleaning of photos. And I’ve gotten around to editing photos from all the way back in May [...]

亲爱的日记 (或亲爱的网络）
三月底的时候我用英文写了一个博客文章，让我想多了。现在我想试试用中文写一张。首先，不好意思，我非常长的时间没写（打）中文了！还有，这个主题自是过去年的印象，印象也对自己的想发，等等。好了，我试试开始！ 很有意思啊，我写了英文张博客的时候是刚从青海省西宁市回香港的。我现在写这张，也在西宁了！太重合了！:)

Dear Diary (aka the interwebs)
**The following is a bit of self-reflection, ranting, sentimental thinking, and whatever else is in my train of thought. You’ve been warned.** A year has passed. I’m a year older. And I’ve moved to another city. A lot happens in one year. A friend passed. Old friendships continue to grow, other friends have drifted, and [...]

Hong Kong brings World Peace
Recently, I’ve actually been eating a lot of humus! Haha, proof with the newest snippet of my contribution to VeggieWala: I recently took another trip to Hong Kong and encountered a pleasant and tranquil surprise. In the middle of one of the world’s most international financial capitals and densely populated cities is The World Peace Cafe [...]

before a move to China: part 2
Before moving anywhere, even to the next neighborhood, it’s always a hassle and headache, let alone across the globe! I previously had a few things to say about some common issues and encounters at the beginning like internet access beyond the GFW and personal care products. Here are a few more points to consider, thanks [...]

must know Chinese companies
Recently, China surpassed Japan as the world’s 2nd largest economy. A couple months ago I had a discussion with a classmate about our adjustments to living in Beijing. One of the biggest adjustments that seem so simple and natural in our respective home countries is the idea of brands. We know who to trust, what [...]

Vermont: more than cheese & syrup
Last month I spent four days vacationing in the small resort town of Manchester, Vermont. During this trip we ate only at locally-owned restaurants and shops where I had some of the most freshly prepared food I have ever tasted. The one thing that I couldn’t help but notice was that each place had a [...]
