Reflections on my first ten days in London. The cold weather, cold food, expensive prices, and beautiful architecture. Free museums and art everywhere. Meeting new friends in the Taiwanese community abroad. Everything feels like it's moving in the right direction.
My first time in the United States. From LA's dusty mountains to Santa Monica's pink skies. From self-driving Cybertrucks to meaningful customer feedback. Reuniting with old friends abroad, finding purpose in work, and reflecting on Taiwan-US distance and turning thirty.
In the years when Hong Kong's cultural exports still carried real force, Cantonese films traveled across the sea in dubbed voices, while its streets and faces became instantly recognizable far beyond the peninsula.
