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. Ever since I watched Wong Kar-wai’s Chungking Express as a child, I was captivated by the chaotic, multicultural scenes it depicted. The desire to explore this place for myself never quite left me.
Before going to India, my friend and I received a lot of information and advice from various sources, which made us more cautious. During our trip to India, we encountered many surprising things and faced unforeseen challenges. However, these experiences made us appreciate the kindness of others even more.
