We all know that I’m a musical geek. If you didn’t, now you do – yes I am. I often enjoy listen to the whole sound track from top to bottom and picture the scene. The musical made me feel alive, and all the songs tell stories and show the picture. It’s like reading the […]

As a girl, I have a vision with my haircut. Basically, I want to look good. I usually like short hair but – I don’t know where it came from – there’s the universal image of a pretty girl with wavy long hair with the wind… It’s every girl’s (or boy’s?) dream, I’d

Two segregated cultures While walking down the street, it almost felt like I was constantly bouncing two different worlds back and forth. One world with old Chinese people with their markets, electric equipment stores and outdoor food stalls, and another world with tourists attractions and fancy restaurants.

What I was doing After the epic escape from the cubic farm, I traveled to America: Road tripping around New England and Quebec. And I came back end of September. Ever since I got back, it wasn’t easy to be at home, to be honest. I had problems with, well, most of the

During the three months of the trip in America, I offered to cook Korean food to some of our hosts. Korean food is not something they are used to eating at home, but I wanted to show them it’s easy and delicious. It was a great experience for me too. I like cooking,

I prefer travel slow. For my purpose of travel, which is to get to know people and place better, it’s more effective when living in one place longer, rather than country hopping. There are certain things that only can be seen when we actually live the place and take time to reveal. The reasons why
