lower east side / 2016

Very overdue post from 2016. We flew from Las Vegas to NYC for a short 3-day stay.

Our second aunt delivered some food over to our airbnb in Lower East Side the day we checked in. 

It's crazy to rethink how grandpa travelled over the hemisphere to reunite with her.

Loquats from aunt - my first time having them.

Good morning NYC (lots of siren).

Aunt brought us some banh mi on their way from Chinatown.

Got some doughnuts from Doughnut Plant in the morning. So sweet!

You can find our airbnb here.

I mean, don't waste your time/money since I've done that on behalf.

You'll get what they advertised: laser lights, robots, loud noises and smoke. 

The interior of the restaurant is as bling as you can see here. I was impressed but not a fan.

Like really, spend your money elsewhere.

A spontaneous Macau weekend getaway for Westlife's show at the Venetian.

I decided to go light for this trip and ditched my DSLR for a disposable that I haven't tried before; glad that it turned out to be the best decision ever.

Day 1 / Taipa 

My first time on the HZMB!

 

Day 2 / Macau

It's summer again and I can't believe this was a year ago. 

Seeing these photos are reaffirming that thought of visiting Japan again! Our airbnb is within walking distance to this garden, and it happened to be the 'environmental month' so we didn't have to pay a fee to enter!

I have no idea why are the colors so good. Must be some Japanese light/plants/magic.

Another dream-came-true moment to shoot this iconic scene :)

More trees. I love trees. They grow to unimaginable heights and leave us so short behind.

Summer flowers are my favourite.

A rather unexpected image in Tokyo.

I have no idea when will I finish up this series, but I promise I will.
