Manhattan’s Korean Way

December 29, 2017 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

Manhattan’s Korean Way

What I love most about New York, is the diversity of people and cultures that mix and mingle without even thinking twice about it. Walking down the street, you are more likely to hear any one of a large array of foreign languages than you are to hear English. This could include Chinese, Indian, Russian, German, Hebrew, Arabic, Portuguese, Urdu.... You name it and you'll probably hear it. And each group brings with it its own culture and history … [Read more...]

Looking at Visiting Toronto for the First Time

Penang – An Embodiment of Creative Disruption

George Town, Penang Much like the street art and street (“hawker”) food that seem to serve as the first definition of modern day Penang, the city is one that is best experienced through the senses. Though the city is still trying to create an identity for itself after it was stripped of such comfort during WWII, it is using vibrant, creative solutions to tell its history, share its beauty and humor, and redevelop itself as Malaysia’s thriving … [Read more...]
