Taking Time to Look Up
Since movie back to the New York-New Jersey area, I’ve rediscovered the joys of being a tourist of sorts in the city. I took New York City for granted when I was growing up in the suburbs. Now, I’ve begun to see it in a new light. Of course, sometimes I see the city with

Photo for Jersey
Tonight is game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the Devils. At the end of the second period, they’re winning 3-2 (I really hope this continues). I used to work two blocks from the new arena–though it wasn’t there when I worked in Newark because of legal battles with the city. In honor of
Warding off Solicitors
I visited numerous temples in Thailand–so many that I can’t remember them all. I had a few tourist maps that I picked up at the airport and hotel lobbies, each with different wats labelled throughout Bangkok. For the first few days I stopped at almost every one I passed. After awhile it took effort to

Spring Break Travel

Fortunately, my schedule is Monday through Thursday. Nonetheless, I have to work all

Monuments to the Gods
There’s a lot to enjoy about Bali. I would have liked a longer vacation there, but the few days I had were enough to inspire me. The weather was perfect–clear skies, low humidity, and a constant cooling breeze. Unfortunately, I was on a tour because it was cheaper than traveling on my own (I’m still

Pineapple Anyone?
I traveled with my parents on my second trip to Bangkok–they wanted a few days in Thailand since it was a short flight from our stay in Kuala Lumpur. Our hotel was not in the most desirable location, as there was very little nearby. Any destination of interest was a taxi ride away. On one

Downtown
This is the first of what I hope to be many Friday Photo posts. This one comes with a longer story than most will. A few months ago, a friend from college came to visit for a weekend. I decided that we could spend the day in Manhattan, walking along the Highline Park, which is
