Every time I go to Hong Kong I have to stop by this place called Little Sheep.  It’s the OG shabu-shabu (from China).. When you walk in to the restaurant it smells of spices and curry.. You can order the half and half broth base.  On one side  it’s like salty chicken soup,  and the other […]

Besides the classic cars and great weather, there is another reason to like Southern California.. Most everyone can have their own garden.. This is Mr. Kling’s garden… Mr. Kling is one bad ass dude.

Brooklyn Bridge one of the most stunning bridges to walk…

I’m really into Jose Parla’s (aka ease) work.. I think it strikes a cord in me cuz of the graff/street background..
