Not long ago, I was enticed to watch a Netflix travel show – “Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father”. The show follows Jack Whitehall, a British comedian on a gap year. Jack thought it would be fun to bring his old-school father, Michael Whitehall on an epic trip around the world. Through endless funny scenes and hilarious exchanges, the show wittily portrays the conspicuous generation gap between the father and son. At around the same time, my mother expressed her wish to travel to Beijing, mainly to check off the […]

As always Los Angeles is a study in contrasts and that is the beauty of this incredible city. I’m just as comfortable at an exclusive party at a secret location on one of the blvd’s in Hollywood or Beverly Hills as I am slurping up Menudo or enjoying Horchatas at a small taco stand in the heart of South Central or Watts.

There is a film crew from Hong Kong here – 9 […]
