Philly’s Sports Spirit
On Sunday, I woke up excited about the upcoming game in the evening. I was about to have the biggest night of Philly with the Superbowl game between the Eagles and Kansas City – which, BTW was surprisingly a football team of Missouri, not Kansas..! I wasn’t very interested in football before and don’t know ...

Superbowl Sunday and the 76ers
As we were getting close to Superbowl Sunday, the whole city was buzzing with excitement. The Philly streets were filled with people wearing green, and I had an Eagles cap on too when we were heading to Center City on Saturday. It was an awesome experience as I would yell ‘GO BIRDS!’ in random peoples’ ...

Week 6: Cash Only!
Last weekend I spent time in DC. I was really excited going there to see how it differs from Philly. In terms of the city itself, I felt it was a very corporate atmosphere. I think this might have been a result of visiting on the weekend and DC being very much a working city ...


Thrift stores, music and more!
I have always loved visiting vintage stores. I adored the feeling of getting into a store and never knowing what to expect. It was like looking through a mystery box, full of unique treasures waiting for you to discover, and every piece had its own story behind it. Back in Hong Kong, I would spend ...

Walking in a Philly Wonderland
I’m Sunny, 21 On Friday morning, at 6 am, I woke up excitedly and got on the lyft to Philadelphia Airport. The plane arrived at 8 from Boston, dropping my dear old friend in my city. Virginia is a friend I met in Oklahoma back in 2012, and we have been looking forward to meeting ...

My Classes and School Life
I’m Sunny! Weeks are flying by here, especially with the term only being 10 weeks long. The quarter system is pretty new to me, and for that matter so are having midterm exams during Week 4 of the term. Not to mention, never have I ever in my life had three exams for one course ...

An NYC and Eagles weekend
Last Saturday, I woke up at 6:30am with groggy eyes. Chowing down an apple and a cup of coffee, me and my friends rushed to the bus station, catching the bus to New York City. Growing up, I watched countless movies and TV shows taking place in the bustling metropolis. As the song goes ‘New ...

Week 4: Go Dragons!
While this week hasn’t been my busiest, I’ve now accepted that Philadelphia is a city that truly has it all. As a recent transplant to the city, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by all that it has to offer. While the weather is still a bit chilly, the sunny days are becoming more and more frequent, ...

Week 3: Fly Eagles Fly
This week has all been about the eagles. Coming from Ireland, I have no idea about American Football or how it works, however it’s clear to me the passion there is here in Philly for the Eagles and how the city embraces them in such a strong way. There’s a similar culture to be seen ...
