Next Adventure... India!

So I lied. This will be my last post for this year. I just bought plane tickets to go to New Delhi, India for the first two weeks of February for Chinese New Year. What am I doing there? What will I see? I have no idea yet. Time to pick up a travel book, get a Visa, book some hostels... Talk about an impulse buy!

Let the travel planning begin!

Housewarming! Last Post of 2010...

So after a few months of settling in (and procrastinating), I finally threw an official housewarming (Christmas themed with a white elephant gift exchange). My place comfortably fit 18 people!

 
What happened this year?

• I traveled to Singapore, Malaysia, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Jiuzhaigou.
• I hit up Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego during my stint in the States for Susan's and Sirena's graduations!
• I bought, tore down, and remodeled my apartment in the city.

It's been another fantastic year. I've learned a ton (with many many mistakes), traveled to some cool places, and met lots of amazing people. Who knows what will happen in 2011!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dinner at Naples!

Well, I didn't actually go to Naples, but it felt like it! My friends Constantino from Madrid and Paola from Naples had me over for a nice homemade dinner... Spinach and Cheese Rustic Pizza, Eggplant Parmesean, vegetables...

 
 Like my red slippers?
 
 Layers of eggplant... yum!

It's the holidays and I won't be going home. What will I be doing? Not sure quite yet. 3 big holidays are coming up (Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year) and this is what I'm thinking:

• For Christmas, I'll be throwing a Housewarming/White Elephant Gift Exchange/Christmas Party. On actual Christmas day... don't know quite yet.
• I'll be ringing in the New Year with by buddy Chris in HK, just like last year.
• For Chinese New Year, I'm still trying to figure it out. Harbin is the current favorite. Thoughts? Anyone want to go on a trip?

I think the next time I'll be back in the States will be August? So... come visit!
