The Cheung Chau Bun Festival is a day dedicated to the god Pak Tai, who ward off plague and evil spirits on the island many years ago. It is held on the same day as the Buddha’s birthday. The place celebrates it with bun contest going up the bun tower, parades, and lots of street food. I didn’t visit on the exact day of the festival as it’s generally too crowded on the ferry. But it’s just as fun to go a few days before and just get a feel of the festivities on the island. Always love the boats with the blue and green hues. There are local snacks sold everywhere you go. We literally ate are way around the island from the moment we got off the ferry. This mango mochi was so delicious and still leaves you thinking you just ate something somewhat healthy as it was a big slice of mango inside. It’s all about the buns! Freshly steamed buns with various flavors are in high demand. You have to line up to get these and they are sold only at a few stores. There are a few temples on the island. We stopped by Pak Tai […]

It’s always nice visiting New York City in the spring-summer months. The weather was perfect this July, with blue skies and beautiful cotton candy-like clouds. Grand Central station is usually where I connect to different parts of Manhattan. This time, I explored more of the meatpacking and Chelsea districts. The High Line, converted from out-of-use railway tracks, is always amazing to walk through. It just feels like everyone is just having a great time and enjoying themselves when they walk through the High Line. It offers great architecture, plant design, and art work display. My Manhattan visits will not be complete without walking through 5th Avenue just to see all the amazing buildings, sculptures, and art deco designs.
