HK: Classes at CityU

It is week 5 of classes here at the City University of Hong Kong. Unlike the mid-term crunch I would be feeling if I was at Drexel this term, the atmosphere here is quite chill.

HK: Some Dim Sum Please

One of the best things about Hong Kong is the dim sum. The food here is really cheap and delicious. It’s my fourth week in Hong Kong and I’ve already been to several dim sum places. In my opinion, there are three locations that you should try if you ever visit. The first place is One ...

HK: Chinese New Year Like a Total Tourist

Chinese New Year was this Saturday and we had a week off so we celebrated it the most tourist-y ways possible. One of the major events was the Flower Market.

二十 | Tokyooooo prt 2

December 8th, 2016 First stop Shibuyaaaa! I had to see what the hype was about haha. Shibuya Crossings is pretty crazy, especially during the weekend. I’ve never seen a massive crowd move like this. It’s an intersection with about 5 streets, and when the light hits green everyone just scrams. It’s not a rowdy scram ...

十九 | Tokyooooo

December 1st, 2016 Ohhh mann, this was such a dream come true! I’ve been dreaming to come to Japan, for who knows how long. Most of my inspiration to venture here comes from me being such a huge fan of Japanese anime for quite some time now. I admire the Japanese culture so much and ...

十七 | Family Visits

November 29th, 2016 I’ve been in Hong Kong so long that I’m now the tour guide for my family. How lucky of me to have back to back fam visits. The first week went to my father’s side from Florida, and the second week went to my mother’s side of the fam from Brooklyn. I ...
