Try Again?

19 February 2018


New York is not my favorite city. The subway stations rarely have escalators or working elevators, and there is no air conditioning. But my major problem was that there was hardly any place to change our daughter's diaper, and the few places that did provide a changing table, needed cleaning. I think we got so used to super efficient Singapore where almost every mall has padded diaper changing stations, hot and cold water, soap and paper towels.

We were in the city that never sleeps last October for a wedding, and that's basically all we did. It's also possible that the fact we spent most of our week adjusting to Hannah's jet lag contributed to our not enjoying ourselves much, as we didn't really get to see or do anything. So, I'm thinking of taking another trip there and starting all over again. Second time's the charm?



Mission San Juan Capistrano

05 October 2014


The baby isn't even born yet and it's already changing the way we do things. Earl and I were in Los Angeles last week, but we decided to make this trip as relaxing as possible so as not to stress me (and the baby) out. Basically, it was a shop and eat trip where we hardly did any sightseeing except for a few places such as this one.



Founded in 1776, it is where you can find the Serra Chapel (pictured above) which is the oldest building in California in continuous use.



The mission was quite pretty and I'm glad we went, though the best time to go might be late in the afternoon when the sun isn't too hot.
