Ahem. TSM TSM TSM TSM TSM TSM TSM TSM. Ok. Michael has finally arrived in San Francisco, and now the Three Musketeers of SF are ready to take on the world! Our first meal, as to welcome Michael, is Crab House. I had wanted to eat some seafood since I got here (you know, #baylife […]

Café Series: Farley’s San Francisco
Great coffee is truly outrageous; they’re truly, truly outrageous. I had eyed Farley’s before I even arrived in San Francisco. They’re the highest rated coffee shop on Yelp in Potrero Hill, and it’s destiny that the Farleys near me is one of the original third-wave coffeehouses. I go in, I ask for an Americano. This […]
Restaurant Series: 重庆小面 (Chongqing Noodles) San Francisco
Just know I’m writing this post while hungry. Today is my second day in San Francisco, my roommate, Boris, has finally arrived. Boris is much more experienced since he had already done a work term in Mountain View, so he suggested we go to a Hunan-styled restaurant in Chinatown. The store we wanted had a […]
Restaurant Series: Big Rig Brewery Ottawa
Ottawa isn’t known for its beers. That’s something someone who’s drinks PBR would tell you, Ottawa is actually full of great local brewery’s, and my friend Sean‘s basement is the best of them all (personally speaking, having tried his beer). But we’re not here to talk about beer today, I had planned a lunch with […]
Day Out with Jessen

መልካም ጉዞ።, Paige
It’s actually Amharic for “Bon voyage”. Time waits for no one. Remember when I mentioned that Paige and I don’t have much time to hangout anymore? Paige is leaving for China today. I will be on co-op next term, and when I come back, Paige will be on co-op. Our days were numbered once exam had […]
Restaurant Series: Pyung Won House
This started as a mistake. I thought this place was Pojangmacha, but turns out that was a little street vendor outside of this place. Still, we were famished, and Paige was greatly upset, which meant I wasn’t about to poke the tiger by suggesting another place. Despite the Yelp reviews, this place was really good, […]
Afternoon Photoshoot with Paige
What exactly is high & frosty? This is a word that I’m translating from the Chinese net-speak “高冷”, meant as a vibe that a person gives off. Something similar to stand-offish, but with class. It’s a feeling that Paige wants to achieve, sort of a personal goal of hers. Truth be told, I feel a […]
