First Impressions: HONG KONG

Metropolitan but Traditional at the Same Time. Having walked through quite a few different neighborhoods in both the island side and Kowloon side, the city landscapes has a unique sense of modernity intertwined with tradition. In between the tall skyscrapers with commercial office and western branded retail are small mom and pop type shops for selling fresh vegetables or local herbal drinks.

When Hunger Gets the Best of You - Roman Style

After our 3 hour Vatican Tour that started at 8:30AM (terrific and one of the coolest places I’ve been hands down), we were utterly starving. Walking around the streets of Vatican City, we were looking for a place to eat. Little did we know, there are no restaurants in this 109 acres of sacred ground. Just as we were making our way further and further away from St. Peter’s Square, we spotted a petit olive skinned woman with wavy black hair pulled back into a loose bun handing out fliers.
