First Saturday of July is a go! The lady friend had weekend work this morning and we biked together to her office to catch a late breakfast before she went in. To go along with our coffees, she introduced me to 锅盔 (guōkuī), meaning a […]

Seoul, Take 3
Stepping off the plane with Zeppelin by Korean artists Anda and Primary blasting from my earbuds, I found myself in Seoul for the third time in my life. There would no angsty Rome reunion with Hyerin this time around and that was a good thing. […]
The Great Wall of China via Gubei Water Town
My second time visiting the Great Wall! It’s a long time coming because: 1. I should visit it again since I lost my camera during my first Beijing visit way back in 2013. 2. If you have easily see a Wonder of the World more […]
Return to Hong Kong
Back in Hong Kong after about two years and staying for the longest time since I moved away in 2014. This was one of my few travel experiences where the plan was to not explore intensely and instead chill to catch up with friends. Beyond […]
Rye Music Festival
Most of my 20s involved spending my free nights being somewhere like The Smell for a wild time of mosh pits and loud sounds. I love being around bands, whether I’m already a fan or it’s my first time seen them. Beyond the hundreds of gigs […]
Nanjing
Here’s a little ditty of pics from visiting Najing in September for a work trip. My favorite part was definitely the Fuzimiao area, with lots of lights and a pretty rad Confucious Temple. The downtown area was pretty nice at night too. I’m just a […]
Moving to Beijing
I crack open my beer can of Tsingtao and sigh. Hello, blog. The automatic WordPress domain charge to my bank account reminds me that this baby exists. Some things have happened since June 11th. That last post was followed by a fantastic summer of bike […]
Sego at Bootleg Theater
I rode my bike down to Crawford’s to meet some friends for a bit too many brews and fried chicken before the Sego gig at the Bootleg Theater. I had never been to the bar that early on a weekday before and was somewhat surprised […]
Just A Guy Who Rides
As I cycled up the hill in the night’s darkness, I can see that we aren’t even near the top. The pain is a bitch, but it is always worth it at the end. These ride climbs always have rewards once we reach the top. […]
The Holidays and Beyond
December 2017 ended with exhaustion. Off the heels of my Israel travels, the final month of the year immediately began with lots of great bike rides, one friend moving back to LA and another friend plus my brother visiting for the holidays. This meant going […]
Rey and Kylo Ren vs. Praetorian Guards Music Mashups
I’m mainly writing this blog post as somewhere to house my favorite music mashups of Rey and Kylo Ren vs. The Praetorian Guards as seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Created by Twitter user @rachlikesbands, she unleashed several simple edits of the epic fight scene occurring […]
Red Aunts + LAMPS at The Echo
First show of 2018 and holy shit, it was a show I desperately needed. Work was full of meetings this week and while I wasn’t necessarily in all of them, many of them happened in our shared work space, which made it hard to get […]
