All stars are aligned, and they are pointing at Mexico City. 4 out of 6 projects I'm currently working on are all related to Mexico City so it's time to visit my friends, Steve and Victoria over there. Mexico City is a wonderful place mixed with cultures, music, art, and architecture. It also has the most museums in the world! Without further ado let me jump right in!

AboutThis blog was launched in August, 2015 during my 8th year of studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. I decided to start this blog and record some of my thoughts and moments. This blog is also dedicate to Richard Fu, a good friend of mine who is now guarding me from above. He inspired me to get out of the comfort zone and be curious about the world. Amig@'s blogs
