My friend Juliana was able to connect me to her friend Marina (who we’ve actually met before 3 years ago) who connected us with her friend Pearl who is connected with the restaurant called Azumi in Port Union (see how associations lead one to another?) 🙂 . It is a Japanese restaurant that serves sushi, bento box, and typical Japanese fare. Continue reading

Ten Ren’s Tea Located at 111 Times Ave #101 in Markham
My friend TK and I hit up Ten Ren’s Tea for some lunch on a weekday Tuesday. Ten Ren’s is a tea house and restaurant. They also are part-store where half of the space is dedicated to selling their own brand of specialty teas and accessories.

Mayan Ruins, Mexico
We went on a second excursion today in Costa Maya, Mexico! It’s so nice to wake up in another city that I’ve never been to before.

Mind you, the Chinese name is still the same as “Congee Wong”. What gives? Continue reading

The dancing on tables that happened every night to a new song
