We're at it again with another of Jen's Nearly Famous Walking Tours! This free walking tour of Los Angeles is a 2.6 mile self-guided walk focused on the fun and funky. It includes an art gallery, a quirky book store, some hipster snacks, and a high-tech circus. Get ready to get weird, ya'll! Walt Disney Concert... Continue Reading →
Eating Our Way Through KL
The residence of KL are a mixed bag of ethnically different people. There are large populations of people from India, China (mostly Cantonese), and of course the native Malaysians. Even though there are different backgrounds represented, they all share one thing in common: an incredible respect and kindness for others. Not only is it an inspiring setting for world peace, but it is a foodie's dream come true.
Sichuan Hot Pot
We enjoyed our first Sichuan hot pot experience last night. I'm so glad we went with someone who knew what they were doing. It would have been a little confusing otherwise.
Adventures with Jen – Yangshuo
We're just a few days away from moving to our next destination which means it's that time again to tell the stories of my less-than-totally-epic adventures. Yangshuo was amazing in almost every way, but had its fair share of not so brag-worthy moments. Join me again for: Adventures With Jen! [cue theme music] Downtown Art... Continue Reading →

The man that works at the shop is very enthusiastic to have some new foreign friends and has some of the... Continue Reading →
Bike Ride – Yangshuo’s Ten Mile Gallery
The sun finally came out and we have been trying to cram in as much fun as possible while we still have it. One of the first things on my to-do list was a bicycle along the portion of the ten mile gallery that we missed during our last excursion. This loop portion splits off at the bridge and follows the river instead of the valley.
Adventures With Jen – Guilin
Not every adventure can be epic, so here is a montage of some of my less than totally awesome Adventures With Jen.
Eating the Red Berries
I read somewhere that chimpanzees won't eat unfamiliar red berries unless they see another chimp do it first. It's a self-preservation instinct, and it makes sense; some berries are poisonous. But others are not, and can be a plentiful food source, so it's definitely a risk-reward situation. This also means that if a troop wants... Continue Reading →
Dinner Time – Guilin
Dinner is our splurge meal at about $6 per day for two, so we make sure to get whatever our little hearts desire.
