Spring in Hong Kong

So, in a recent turn of events.. I'm going to Hong Kong and Tokyo at the end of this month!! I've been so fortunate to have seen some of the most beautiful vacation spots in the world, but I've never been to any place really culture-rich, that hasn't built their economy based off tourism; I'm so excited! Just looking at these pictures of Hong Kong makes me drool..


 
 
 
 
And Tokyo...
 
 
Kinda reminds me of Times Square...
 
 
 
... and the Brooklyn Bridge! haha..
 
 
 
And it makes me especially excited, because it's currently snowing in the city, and according to the weather app on my phone, Hong Kong has a high of 75 degrees today! Anyways, time for work again, but I'll keep you posted about Asia and other things in the days/weeks to come : )

Home Sweet Home... pt. deux

No, not home sweet home on the eastern end of Long Island or the Upper East Side, but Home Sweet Home in Bowery between Broome St. & Grand St.

An eclectic mix of stuffed animals (the once-alive kind) and flashbacks of American Bandstand music, this lounge/bar was awesome. : ) My friends Hannah and Lynsee are visiting from DC, and they wanted to go to somewhere where we could dance; I'm not sure this place was anything even remotely close to what any of us were thinking but Ryan and Alex suggested it and, since I've moved to the city and they've accepted me as a tag-a-long, I've learned to trust their judgement.


Take #59836 because the first 59,835 weren't good enough, apparently.. 
Embarrassing as it was, I guess I should appreciate Lyns for being the type to document everything, because a) it gives me material to blog about and, 
b) something to look back on in years to come. 



Not entirely sure what the rest of the weekend has in store for us, but knowing these two and the other goofs I hang out with, you can expect some interesting posts to come...

More later! : )
