A Healthy Dose of Art
Here in Hong Kong, our family has been practicing social distancing including working from home, attending school online, and saying no to almost everything fun or interesting since mid-January. As in eleven weeks of frantic tedium and anxious boredom. Several other places around the world are just now completing their first week of doing the same and believe me, I feel the weight of it all right through my screen. I’m working on writing my personal story and first-hand experience with life in lock down due to the Coronavirus. It’s been perhaps the most strangely difficult thing I’ve had to write, and it’s taking forever. Trying to strike a balance…

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle!
Hong Kong Disneyland’s five year expansion program continues with the latest attraction, a target shooting ride called Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle! This attraction replaced the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, which closed about a year ago. The Nano Battle attraction fits in nicely with Tomorrowland’s Iron Man Experience and Iron Man Showcase. During the recent Media and Fan Event, Paul Rudd – the Ant-Man himself, came to Hong Kong to open the attraction for the press and dedicated fans. I was lucky enough to head over to the Park for most of the day and managed to get a pretty bad sunburn (the humidity melted my sunscreen right off…

Fish & Chips Day
Twenty-five years ago my new boyfriend and I were busy working in entertainment production. We had crazy schedules for rehearsals and show shifts. Our paths were going in the same direction, but not often crossing to give us time to really know each other. One evening the stars aligned and we had a few hours around dinnertime to share a meal. Hooray! But as we drove from nearby restaurant to increasingly distant restaurant, we were shocked at the long waits and lines out the door on a weeknight. As we sat in his car outside a normally empty Applebee’s with an hour wait, we saw a couple walking past with…

Moana: A Homecoming Celebration
From my earliest childhood, all I wanted to do was travel the world. A wildly imaginative and precocious kid, my poor frustrated parents would frequently throw their hands up in the air and say, “What are we going to do with you?” My answer was always, “Send me to Germany!” No I didn’t know anyone there, or anyone from there, but it seemed exotic and far away from our Los Angeles suburb and I wanted to. I didn’t know actually living around the world was a possibility, or else that would have been my childhood desire I’m sure. Right now we live in Hong Kong, and get to spend a lot…

In-N-Out in Hong Kong
Being a native Southern Californian means I grew up eating at In-N-Out Burger. The chain was birthed in Baldwin Park, California in 1948, and featured the very first burger drive-thru in existence. By the time I was born, there were eighteen restaurants dotting the Greater Los Angeles landscape. I have no “first memory” of dining at an In-N-Out Burger, it’s just always been there in the background. I don’t generally care much for fast food in general, but I always make an exception for them. Their burgers are fresh and tasty and best of all, cheap. Their employees are so bright and cheerful you can’t help but feel good about eating there.…
