The Arts
At the end of 2020, we got to travel back to Hong Kong to see family. Being with loved ones during such an isolated year made the biggest emotional and mental difference. We went through the 14 day hotel quarantine where they slapped on a wristband tracker and forced you to stay in the room the entire quarantine. My family brought us food and games, and spent most of the time working, eating, exercising and binge watching TV shows like Queens Gambit and Emily in Paris. After being released from quarantine prison, we took the opportunity to explore the city while the streets were less busy than usual. My favorite place this trip? Hands down the West Kowloon Cultural District.
This is the newly built Opera House - part of the Arts District. Across the street, there is a large grassy area for picnics by the promenade. There are multiple museums, theatres and installations in development right now, which will eventually be the world’s largest cultural quarters with a blend of music, art, performance and education. It is AMAZING and you can read more here! The lack of emphasis on the arts was a big reason why I left Hong Kong, and I’m so happy they are finally investing time, money and space to let art breathe in the concrete jungle.

Macau
Over Christmas, my family and I took a one day trip to Macau. We spent the day exploring old town, and rode the Ferris Wheel at the Studio City hotel. We finished the night with the Dancing Water Show (similar to Cirque Du Soleil).
Coming from Vegas, Macau felt cleaner, more spacious and had less crazy people roaming the streets. I think most people that go to Macau are strictly there for gambling or luxury shopping so the streets and the hotels were pretty empty. If you're planning a trip there, I definitely recommend visiting old town of Taipa, and don't forget to try their famous egg tarts and pork buns!

DC
My parents went to DC last weekend for the first time, and I decided to tag along. Though the first day poured cats and dogs, the sun came out the next day when we were taking a walking tour of the National Mall. After living in LA, you sometimes forget how to walk so it was a really nice change of pace. My dad also helped me take some photos of my outfit.. Thanks Dad! :)
