My boy’s coming to China! Thank goodness for trans-Atlantic flights… Google indicates that kayaking from Washington to Hawaii, then from Hawaii to Shanghai, is the practical way to reach China. We think otherwise. Every 11:11 wish, crossed finger and bedtime prayer is coming true. Now I can start crossing days off the calendar :) My heart is so happy it might burst. *Addendum: If this is too mushy for you (ahem, Brandon) be thankful I didn’t connect the dots and draw a giant, pink heart across the Atlantic Ocean. I thought about it…

A video about Shanghai’s street food scene, featured on CNT’s blog aggregator. It’s like watching live art. Yum.

Dream destination: Fiji

Since before I can remember, the location I’ve dreamed of visiting is Fiji. Pristine beaches, snapshot-worthy sunsets, village huts - what else is wanting? Maybe I’ll make it happen, since I’m on this side of the world and all. Just need to start a Fijian piggy bank, asap.

Modriki

Yasawa Chain

Vuaki Village

Namuamua Village

Western Fiji

How can you see these photos and not believe in God?

“Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here. Believe in kissing.”

— Eve Ensler

The pinnacle and ultimate fulfillment of my mom’s dream trip to Greece - a photo of me riding a donkey up the Caldera. 300 steps later, I am the poster child for Bedhead, and the papu who led us up said steps kept saying, “Mammi, mammi!” because I apparently couldn’t stop yelling that. Oh, Alexis Bledel, the things we do to be like you in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
