You're thinking to yourself, does this girl ever stay in one place? Seattle, Prague, London, Dubai, Shanghai, Bangkok, Sydney... and now Hong Kong. Difference is I'm moving to this New York of the East and so far I'm loving every minute of it.
I spent the last couple of days roaming the crowded yet colorful streets, tasting the local noodles and marveling at the cool collection of skyscrapers and old colonial buildings. I love that it's a city on the harbor, that the sky darkens with the torrential downpours (I love rain, must come from my days in Seattle) and that the transit system is fast, cheap and reliable.
I'll keep you guys posted on my progress, but just wanted to share the news and also post a photo of the amazing view. Hi from HongKong. =D
One thing I love about Indonesia is the random pairings I see. Somehow Cantonese seafood and an English furniture shop makes perfect sense, right? =P
People have been asking me if I took them off my mailing list - which means I haven't been writing at ALL in the past... whoa... few
months. Sorry folks. Lots to catch you up on.
It was my 26th birthday a few weeks ago and I spent in the mountains of Bali with Andrew
, who had decided to visit for a short but much needed vacation. As I grow older, I realize that I need to balance myself more. I love the hustle and bustle, cocktail parties and city life, but I also need to curl up with a cup of tea and a good book once in awhile. Fortunately for me, my birthday week was packed with lounging around the pool, eating copious amounts of delicious food and contemplating the universe. It was my kinda birthday. Here are some of the highlights.

What's wrong with this photo? My twin sister is missing,
I MISS YOU DANIELLE. HAPPY BIRTHDAY
! !
Soaking up few minutes of sunshine. After being in Seattle for seven years,
I need a little vitamin D therapy.
