Puebla City / Church

The Zócalo de Puebla, located at the Historic Center of the city, is a beautiful cathedral surrounded by a huge green park. It's the first place on the must-list while visiting Puebla.

Taipei / University

All students of GCA love it here. Taking pictures, barbecue party, shouting, fireworks, stargazing... All the memory were made here. Unfortunately, the door waslocked recently, it is a terrible lost for the student of GCA.

Portland / Cinema

This neighborhood theater is one of the oldest movie houses in the U.S. It opened up in 1915. I love to see movies here, especially screenings put on by Cinema Project. They are a collectively run, non-profit that screens amazing avant-garde films from the past and present.

Barcelona / Cafe

News and Coffee is bringing back to life a piece of our cities which little by little has been disappearing: The Newsstand. Newspapers, a selection of independent magazines and books & a great cup of specialty coffee to go. FAV PLACE.

Los Angeles / Museum

There is absolutely no reason to go to this museum, which is the very reason why you should go! If you're stuck on run-of-the-mill, socially-relevant, highly-educational museum experiences, then Chuck E. Cheese would be more enlightening, but if your idea of a good afternoon is sifting through hand-made treasures at an alzheimer patients rummage sale, then I've got your spot! It's very small, dimly lit, and not many of the displays actually function, but it does encapsulate a very distinct, random, getting-away-with-it spirit, which courses through the finest of Los Angelenos.

Copenhagen / Bar

Nice place in summer for drinks and food. Close to the water as I prefer it. Music and nice dancing if the company is right.

London / River

Behind Markfield Beam Engine is the River Lee which travels from the Chiltern Hills all the way to the Thames via Tottenham Hale. There is a special light along this stretch of the river possibly due to there being about 10 massive reservoirs behind the levee on the other side of the river, offering an amazing sense of space. A great place to walk, cycle and feed the ducks, swans, geese and coots.
