    The Jaded Traveler

    Plane in the sky

    As of May 13, 2018, I’ve officially become jaded with traveling.

    Whatever excitement I’d feel from traveling has disappeared. It’s like I no longer have a desire to travel. When I think of traveling, I now just think “whatever”. It’s like I don’t really care anymore.

    The Orange County Zoo

    If you’re looking to get your zoo fix but are short on time and money, the Orange County Zoo would be the perfect place to visit, provided that you’re already in the Irvine area, that is. I say this because it’s not a zoo I recommend visiting from afar as it’s a very small zoo and the zoo grounds can easily be visited in it’s entirety in less than an hour. The good thing about this zoo, though is that it’s not very well known and thus not very crowded, even on a weekend.

    For To Go, please

    Beansprouts and Thai Tea

    I don’t know about you but I’m not too crazy about eating out.

    The costs associated with eating out is one thing but worse than cost(s) is this pathetic societal expectation that one must never eat out alone.

    A Fleeting Encounter at the Niomon Gate

    Niomon Gate, pathway to Mount Misen

    Whenever I’m abroad, I always get amused at how we, as people can encounter so many people (strangers) only to see them once. It’s strange how the world works, isn’t it? When I was in Japan, this amusement (or amazement rather) seemed to heighten since there was hardly ever a day that I didn’t hang out on a train filled with people I didn’t know.
