lonely pirouette

Japan is famous for elegant and delectable cuisine and desserts that have people drooling at the mouth for their intricate and kawaii designs, chewy texture, and flavourful bites. It's culinary heaven for foodies. Here are the best places I personally ate at in my five days in Tokyo.

teamLAB has been around since 2001 as a collective of so-called "technologists," blending and blurring the lines between traditional art, projections, architecture, science, and technology. Most importantly, they curate experiences.

Tokyo was both everything I'd expected and nothing like what I'd expected. From the perspective of an ethnically Chinese first-time traveller, here's what I noticed in five days, and my personal tips and tricks.

For foreigners without family on the mainland or who don't speak a lick of Mandarin, I've compiled this list of the most important apps you need to travel – and live! – in China (and a few bonuses as well).

In Shanghai, Sleep No More is taken as more of a date night offering. At least half of the audience members are couples, or, at the very least, girls on a night out. There aren't too many singles like me, unlike in New York where there were many solo-goers.

After hearing nothing but rave reviews for Kpop Demon Hunters, I was curious to see how the creators executed such a massive theme and compiled it into what I thought was a kids' movie. It is not just a kids' movie. It's an everyone movie, and here's why.

“You’re ready to reawaken. Let your body heal, but also let your heart lead you toward what makes you feel alive again — in movement, in love, in place.”

The simplicity of it reminded me that happiness is found in everyday things; there is no limit to the source.

Along with the acting chops also came a greater sense of risk – one you don't often find with a large, established company.

Inclement weather, cancellations, puke (yes, puke!), or squirrels running amok (and it gets stranger from there).

I'll be deep-diving into some of the best food joints in New York City – and some not-so-impressionable ones as well.

For the introvert who just wants to chill out or spend some time outside alone, here are my recommendations for a fun-filled winter itinerary in the Big Apple.

How do you see the Empire State Building without seeing the Empire State Building? The cityscape's incredibly photogenic ... and I accidentally discovered the perfect secret spot for photos on my third day there.

For every assumption that we're polite on the outside, someone somewhere is creating dance that will shock your brainwaves.

There's an important aspect to receiving and/or offering first aid that many people forget about that can contribute to the outcome, especially for dancers.
