Return to Iceland

It’s been more than a year since I last posted, but hey, this one’s actually travel-related! Yaling and I went back to Iceland in late July through early August. We drove around the Ring Road again, but unlike our 2015 trip, this time we drove clockwise. We made sure to hit the Westfjords, which we missed on the last trip. We’re lucky to have been able to travel during a pandemic (and remain safe), so we’re thankful. If you’ve never been to Iceland, these pictures will hopefully convince you it’s worth it?

A Quarantine World

It’s been two months since I started sheltering in place in New York, and I am very thankful that I’m able to continue working remotely and that I (and my friends and family) are all in good health. The day before the shelter-in-place law was announced, I visited Times Square to see just how empty my city was starting to become, and the rest of the photos are from when I went out walking my dog, all within the confines of Williamsburg. I hope you enjoy them.

Lisbon

Mobile World Congress 2019 was action packed, which meant I needed a short break before coming back to New York City. Where did I spend it this year? Lisbon! It’s a beautiful city that I learned quite a bit about in the five days I was there. Enjoy the photos!

Japan

I took more than 1,000 photos in Japan, and editing all of them has made me want to go back. It’s a country I have always wanted to visit, even before I attempted to study the language for two years in college (I failed). It’s a beautiful country, with incredible food, and did I mention the almost perfect infrastructure?

Before I start rambling forever, here are the photos you want to see. It starts with Tokyo, then Kyoto, into Nara and Osaka briefly, and then finally back to Tokyo.

Post-MWC: Day One in Barcelona

After I picked Ms. Chan up from the airport, we headed straight to the Museo de Picasso, luggage and all. We couldn't take pictures inside the gallery, but the first picture is what a courtyard in the museum looked like. We then traversed around the gothic quarter, and went up the Barcelona Cathedral, which is so beautiful -- and amazing that it was completed in 1448! 

We then made our way to Caso Battlo, one of Gaudi's famous buildings, and then walked down Las Ramblas, and made a short detour into La Boqueria.
