Three California Roads Less Traveled

August 22, 2018 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

It's easy to argue that California is the land freeways and automobiles. And with its massive scale and incredible geographic diversity, there are plenty of scenic routes to explore.

While I have plenty of favorites, I'd like to share three lesser-known routes. There are, of course, many more … [Read more...]

Tai Chi in China

July 22, 2018 by Marlena FiolLeave a Comment

Our dear tai chi master, Dr. Paul Lam, and his partner Hazel invited us to join them as part of a small group on a two-week tai chi workshop/tour of China. Dr. Lam said he designed the trip to be “fun and serious, leisurely and exciting, like the yin and yang of tai chi.” This design of contrasts generated a trip of remarkable paradoxes: Absolutely clean wide modern streets and filthy holes-in-the-ground bathrooms. Great Wall preserved … [Read more...]

Foodlovers: The most unusual dishes of the world

June 13, 2018 by Jessica V3 Comments

Humans are like Ants. We can eat anything. Just ask the people who live in America and East Asia. In fact, you'll find foods in this world that seem like sprung from Satan's own cookbook. Not just that such food exists, but that people would actually stick this stuff in their mouths without a gun to their head. Suppose that, you have to write an essay on the weird or unusual dishes of the world. In this article, I am going to let you know … [Read more...]

Unsettling

April 29, 2018 by Marlena Fiol2 Comments

We entered a narrow lane crowded with shoppers, shopkeepers, motorcycles, rickshaws and animals. Throngs of people pushed their way past us, ogling us suspiciously, much like the dead fish lying in frozen ice in one of the shops, their eyes wide open staring at us. Above us there were twisted and tangled cables and wires, like spaghetti, hanging from buildings and poles. On each side were endless rows of shops with dirt floors and corrugated tin … [Read more...]

Visiting North Korea (not really)

March 20, 2018 by Dave11 Comments

During a recent visit to Yangon, Myanmar a friend of a friend working in the city informed us about a North Korean restaurant within a 10 minute drive of where we were staying (the Merchant Art Boutique Hotel). My only other experience with North Korea was in Dandong, China. An old military bridge (today called the Friendship Bridge) extends half way across the Yalu River. I was there in the middle of winter and I remember it was extremely … [Read more...]
