A lil life update - I quit my job back in mid-September and moved out of the U.S. to pursue my creative projects (Thoughtful Wanders) and travel. Both are things I have dreamed of and planned for a long time. I have a Substack newsletter where I'll be posting all my writing, and I just released the first update yesterday. It goes into detail explaining what Thoughtful Wanders is, and what I am trying to do. This is all the beginning of a (probably) long and uncertain journey. It's exciting, and also very scary! I would appreciate your support by checking the newsletter out and subscribing to follow along.

When I travel to new places around the world, I am usually quite excited to visit the local Chinatown, because I know I can get a taste of home there. Even when it’s not exactly home or exactly familiar. There are Chinatowns all over the world in cities and towns of all shapes and sizes. So far, I’ve only had a chance to visit some of the ones in big cities in the US and a few in Europe, but would love to learn more about Chinatowns in other parts of the world and the stories behind them.

During a farm tour I couldn’t help but get distracted by the pretty colorful flowers. It took me many months to get around editing these photos. It was really fun to edit in a way that teased out all the different colors of these flowers and to make the sky blue the way it was in real life.

Feb 2022 - visiting the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. The light immersion exhibit was called “teamLab: continuity” and was a temporary exhibition. Also got to see Chanel Miller’s mural of “I was, I am, I will be”. Overall, def highly recommend the Asian Art Museum to visit in SF for it’s permanent exhibitions showcasing historical art from all over Asia. The museum also hosts regular exhibitions and events regarding Asian and Asian American topics 🤓🌏

sharing some thoughts re: the effort it takes to make food and feed ourselves during the work week. i have been staying at an airbnb for the past month in NYC and there is the bare minimum provided so it has been a challenge to cook, let alone cook during the work day. in this video, i make stir fried udon noodles with bok choy and egg which i just kept feeding myself until i ran out of the ingredients. ideally i would have more seasoning at home but soy sauce and scavenged hoisin sauce is enough for now. just trying to make it through the work day 🥬😴💻

The iPhone 13 Pro is supposed to have a really good camera but I quickly learned that because there are 3 lenses, the default settings made photos actually fuzzier and lower quality sometimes. Also by default, the nightshift mode would toggle on and I didn’t like how the photos looked. So I finally did some googling and changed some of the default settings to make my phone camera work for ME. I hope this means taking more photos I like and taking advantage of the (expensive) phone camera.

First time in this part of Brooklyn. It was fun to look at the buildings in all directions and recognize where everything was without needing to look at a map. I’ve never been to NYC in the spring/summer before. So many people were out and people were laying on any and all green patches of grass 😎☀️Makes me think of San Francisco where people do that all year round while here it can only be done in some months of the year. I love the energy of that collective appreciation that shows itself in a place where good weather is not taken for granted 🌤
