Day 25~ November 25th~ New York
When you live in a big city with very tall buildings and millions of people, you find yourself focused on the immediate area around you, navigating the ocean of people, avoiding the cars and bike zipping by and keeping close watch on any impending danger that you forget to look up. I remember that we…

Day 24~ November 24th~ New York
Of the many strange things I have done in my life, one of them was deciding to live in Roosevelt Island. I did that for a year and every morning, the strangeness of that place grew and every evening I wondered why is it that a place can make you feel that way. A small…

Day 19~ November 19th~ New York
Some experiences remain etched in our minds not because of their importance, but sometimes because of their simplicity.

I still remember riding my bike to work in Soho with wet hair and arriving with jingling frozen dreadlocks from the blistering New York City wind that blew in the maze between the tall buildings, and then suddenly the first tulips appeared and with them the slightly more mild and beautiful weather that makes the…

Day Two Hundred Twenty Five, Septmeber 4, 2011
When you live like me in a city like Shanghai, a city of 18+ million people, something strange starts to happen to you, you start walking the city walk. This used to happen to me also when I lived in New York City. What I mean by the city walk is walking a bit like…

Reflections of a city
Nothing is more elegant than holiday windows in New York City. Beautiful attention to details, incredible richness of decoration, haunting drama in the windows of Bergdorfs this year.

Making a buck or a 100
It is genius, put on a random character costume, make a sign that says tips, hit the touristy streets of NYC and you are guaranteed to make a little fortune 🙂 This one gave me an opportunity at a cool photo of Lea getting an Elmo hug,
