there is power in archiving life
(what else did you expect to start my day?) I think tomorrow I'm going to try and make it to one of the Yang's Dumpling restaurants (they are all over China). We just saw this one during a moment when we sat down to relax for a few minutes. I'm stoked! Today we got… Continue reading 03.11.2018 – Shanghai day 3
Shanghai is beautiful. I say this with a strong bias because I love Chinese culture and have wanted to visit China ever since I got obsessed with Mulan 20 years ago, but I think most people would agree with me. It's a great city. MORE DUMPLINGS. handmade and delicious of course We've eaten at this… Continue reading 03.10.2018 – Shanghai day 2
7am taxi and we are here! I got 3 hours of sleep on the plane which, for me, is an accomplishment. We were super tired and our hostel has early check-in, but we got there too early for early check-in. Haha. So we found a place nearby to get some good wonton soup for breakfast.… Continue reading 03.09.2018 – Shanghai day 1
Our last day! Not a lot I'm gonna write on this one because it was kind of a blur of a day. Travel, travel, sleep, travel, wander around dazed (me, not Jennifer), travel, sleep... We had one final meal at this little Indian restaurant next to our hostel. It was so yummy that we just… Continue reading 03.08.2018 – Cameron Highlands
Today was a pretty relaxed day. I really wanted to go to an area where I could get fresh fruits and vegetables, so we hopped on the local bus to get there. It wasn't the most efficient way to get there but I actually really enjoyed it - there weren't tourists on board and it… Continue reading 03.07.2018 – Cameron Highlands day 3
Today we went on a tour including more tea fields and a hike in the Mossy Forest! Successful selfie. Yay! (Neither of us are very experienced in the art of selfies, but we are getting better at remembering to take photos with us in them more often. Solely for the sake of our families seeing… Continue reading 03.06.2018 – Cameron Highlands day 2
I had not been able to post anything over our entire time in the Cameron Highlands because our hostel did not have great wifi (it happens!). Currently (on March 8) I'm at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport waiting for our flight to Shanghai, and the wifi is JUST BARELY STRONG ENOUGH to upload photos! So… Continue reading 03.05.2018 – Cameron Highlands day 1
LOTS of photos today because Jennifer and I did separate things for a significant first part of the day! Jennifer's photos and captions from the first half of the day... This is one of my top 3 museums so far in the trip. Nice daggers!! Arabic Chinese calligraphy - soo pretty!!! Dome above one exhibition… Continue reading 03.03.2018 – Kuala Lumpur day
Today was a bit of a lazy day. But we both got to do some cool stuff regardless! As you may know, I have bipolar disorder 2. I am on medication that has been incredibly successful for me, but it doesn't completely erase changes in my mood. It keeps me a balanced, stable, and functional… Continue reading 03.02.2018 – Kuala Lumpur day 2
HI! *Make sure you have a good chunk of time if you want to really enjoy/study this blog post, it's longer than normal* So I need to apologize for not posting many blogs over the past couple of weeks. For me, using my camera is an art form that brings me a lot of joy. … Continue reading 03.01.2018 – Kuala Lumpur day 1
