Last Saturday, Netflix hosted the “Mazu’s Escort! The Straw Hat Pirates Parade” at Kaohsiung Harbor to promote the live-action One Piece. The event drew more than 80,000 attendees. As the sea’s guardian deity, Mazu teaming up with One Piece was truly a dream collaboration. I absolutely loved the creativity behind this large-scale event, so of course I didn’t want to miss it—and I had an amazing time that day.
Knowing how much I love Super Mario, a friend signed me up last August and helped me unlock my very first road run milestone. I used to think that running was something you only did at the gym or on a track. But once I received the race kit and happily unboxed all the themed merchandise, I realized how appealing road run events have become. No wonder they’re so popular!
Located on the busiest stretch of Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Chungking Mansions has always had a mysterious and somewhat intimidating reputation—even many locals in Hong Kong have never dared to step inside.

In November 2024, my three-year plan with A2 Hosting expired. When purchasing virtual hosting services, there’s often a common issue: the initial price is very attractive—usually around 20–30% of the regular cost—but the renewal price jumps to a premium rate. So, taking advantage of the Black Friday deals and after careful comparison, I decided to move to Hostinger!
Some people say that Sri Lanka is a simplified version of India or a first step towards experiencing India.
I disagree.
Completely disagree.
There's a kind of hunger that only "grandmas " can sense, and it seems "grandmas " all over the world have this amazing ability.
On my last day in Malaysia, after leaving the Petronas Twin Towers with a pack of coconut rice that I bought at the station, I returned to Merdeka Square, where I had first arrived after getting off the plane.
I arrived at the airport two hours early, prepared to catch a morning domestic flight to Easter Island. With plenty of time to spare, I leisurely enjoyed breakfast and then proceeded to customs at a relaxed pace. At the gate, not only was I asked to fill out an entry form, but I also found myself in a queue that seemed to move at the typical pace of international flights.
