A Summer Evening in Montpellier: a City in the South of France
The average temperature in Montpellier today was about 28ºC during the day. There were few drops of rain. You could count them if you wanted to. It had been very sunny. The lady who came to fix the AC in our lab today did not do a good job. We had to open the windows. It is summer and summertime here in the south of France is quite unique. I am still wondering why there are a lot of beaches here yet they have less rainfall compared to England. I had a meeting with three of my supervisors on the progress of my research, worked on a few codes to analyze some data, and did some editing on a paper that is about to be published, then I left for home. While cycling along the tramway I changed my mind. "Let's see what the city looks like today especially the city centre". I told myself. Ten minutes later I had climbed a hill while turning my bicycle gear from 6 to 1. I knew I did a good job climbing that hill when a middle-aged lady exclaimed in admiration;

How Sewing Helped Me Survive a 41-Country Trip
When I packed a small set of sewing scissors for the international trip I thought would take 12 months, I had no idea how much I’d need that craft on my coming adventure. In the early days of planning, I thought I’d do most of my sewing beforehand — ideally making myself a capsule wardrobe I could wear through a six-continent trip to research singleness.

Derelict Methodist Church, Gary, Indiana
City Methodist Church of Gary, Indiana is arguably the most beautiful example of urban decay in the Rust Belt. The Gothic Revival structure, which stands in ruins after decades of neglect, arson and vandalism, is stunning to behold.

My Dream Destination: Ukraine
Long before I started watching Bald and Bankrupt's travel vlogs, my wish was to visit multiple post-Soviet countries such as Ukraine in the nearer future. I believe that travelling to Ukraine would be a magical experience to remember, especially if it was another destination that I wanted to explore for quite some time. The day will come, it will just take time. I want to first learn and master travelling on a plane independently. I also want to experience Russia with my brother and see how I enjoy it, before I decide to travel to another post-Soviet destination like Ukraine.

Black Lace for Brown Ladies
When I was in highschool, I was given tickets to a local community theater play. I don't remember it, it was a frothy little comedy, trendy at the time but not a classic. I do remember that towards the end of the play one of the actresses made a big entrance wearing a black lace dress and it blew my mind. It was so elegant! That dress became a goal, the way I envisioned myself as an adult. I soon discovered though, that black lace dresses were only made for white women, with built in linings that were flesh toned only for them. That elegance was beyond my grasp.
