~ Don't Wait. The Time Will Never Be Just Right. ~
With the year drawing to a close, it is the end of the performance and the curtains are slowly being reeled in and you take a bow, we tend to get a little anxious. Somewhat reflective and relieved but also anxious. Questions start clouding your head: was it a good show? Did I do the […]

As I am about to close a chapter of my journey, I can’t help but think of all the wonderful memories and experiences I have had in the last two years. I had neglected my website for a while as I plot and plan the next move. Things have been rather slow and unpredictable but […]

The North East has a very rich history, it seems to surprise me every time. It’s not all lavender fields and immaculate ice sculptures; it’s deep, gruesome history. The World War II era seems to have been a time when humans were trying to see how far they can go, how far they could hurt […]
Read MoreDongBei. The North East! There are stages you go through when you live in Harbin. At first, when you arrive, you are almost certain that you cannot and will not survive here.
