Beijing 2008

Long overdue photos from my trip to Beijing back in the summer of 2008. I can't believe it's been almost 8 years. It was the summer before I began college. It's absolutely insane how fast time flies.

Hello from London

I have been in London for the past three weeks and I love it here! Maybe it is because I'm on vacation mode that I feel London is slightly superior to NYC at the moment. The air is so fresh and clean. The tube is clean, efficient and did I mention extremely well kept? There are no smelly-ass bums making forts on the subway. Everyone gets in a queue to enter the train rather than a bunch of smelly barbarians pushing their way onto the subway. The food here is surprisingly very solid, expensive but solid. The quality I'd say is actually infinity better than NYC but of course more expensive. Overall, it's a city of with plenty of history, culture and bomb Indian food.

Hong Kong

Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to travel to Hong Kong for work. It was pretty awesome. The last time I was in Hong Kong was when I was six. I remember going to Ocean Park and unable to go on any of the cool rides because I was a midget. 

It took me by surprise, I really enjoyed the city. It was exactly like New York in its busyness, accessibility and culture. But better. The subways were clean and there were no weirdos. I loved that literally everyone spoke English. It was the best of both worlds, quality gourmet dim sum with the ability to communicate in English. I felt very comfortable navigating alone and blended in rather easily. I can't wait to go back and explore the nature that surrounds it.
