Favorite Things: Mentioned in Lonely Planet!

My all-time favorite taco on the planet (so far) is the chorizo taco at La Taqueria in San Francisco. I stumbled upon this wonder while shooting That's Clever with Sergio. It was recommended by a ceramic artist that we give it a try, and fortunately my travel partner likes to grub as much as I do.

We got the chorizo tacos. With everything on it. Ridiculous. So good we went back a second time.

I'm not the only one who recognized how good this place is. Today this article came out on Lonely Planet.

I was in SF last Christmas and put La Taqueria on my priority list. Sadly, when we got there, they were shut for xmas! I was devastated, as pictured above.

So give it a try when you're in SF, and the other ones in the article too and let me know how it compares. Mmmmmmm. Mmmmmmexican.

An Evening on the Darker Side: Shenzhen Shennanigans

It has to be a good night if you need your passport.

Shenzhen has the rep of being a seedy border town. There's plenty of truth to that. People venture into mainland China from here for the cheapo shopping and massages. I venture there for work, to visit factories, and have yet to purchase any fake Fendis.

Shortly after I returned back to HK from Christmas, Cora dragged me to the darker side for mischief. While I was skeptical, I knew I was in good hands, and it ended up being a really fun night. We were in a great hood so unlike HK. Trees... space... outdoor chillaxing... We didn't have to worry about bumping into unsavory characters. We weren't fighting people on crowded sidewalks. And everything was super cheap. Nobody believes me, but that side of Shenzhen is awesome.

Hot pot for dinner, and dim sum the next morning.
