2020 has been a year of quarantine and shelter in place. One hobby that I've picked up significantly is that of reading. This year is by far the most I've read since high school, when books were mandatory reading assignments for our English class. With more time and less places to go physically, books have offered my mind to explore many thoughts.

This year has been an interesting year to say the least. I recently hit my 1 year mark at Lime; by now I've almost worked remotely longer than I have worked in the office. My San Francisco roommates Brian, Grace, Jason and I have a good routine at our apartment. We enjoy each others’ companies as we cook, chat, and play games together. We've lost much –the ability to connect with our friends in person, the ability to mingle with our co-workers at the office, the ability to do so much…

Recently, due to COVID related lockdowns, a lot of my friends have been getting into cycling! I thought I'd write a series of blog posts on how to get into cycling and what to look for.

I had been wanting to see a solar eclipse since when I first learned about them in first grade, and I distinctly remember in second grade while I was doing 体操 at 图强二小, I would look up directly at the sun, hoping to see an eclipse, and my mind would play games with me simulating how an eclipse may look. As a relatively rare natural phenomenon, occurring once every 18 months in a very lucky region of the world, it had always been my dream to witness one. I saw the partial eclipse in Hanian in 2009…

Hi! As a passionate transit-oriented teen, I wanted to write this blog post to detail how multi-modal transportation options can be used to best fit one's transportation needs. For context, I am currently a student based in Santiago de Chile (May 2019).

Hi all! I thought I'd update y'all with some of my recent readings/watchings on the internet. (The picture above was taken in April 2019 during a hike to Cerro de la Cruz)

I did not summit Cerro El Plomo this past weekend.

Hi all! I thought I'd update y'all with some of my recent readings/watchings on the internet. Above is a picture from our hike in El Cani, Chile, Jan 2019.

I should probably be writing my thesis for my MEng, but I'll start off kindling the writing part of my mind by procrastinating for a bit.

Hello, and I guess I am back to [attempting to] blogging. I thought I'd try to consolidate my thoughts and interests on urban planning and related topics in this blog post. Growing up, I've always had an interest in transportation related topics. Whether it be city planning, trains (mass transit or high-speed rail), airplanes, or cars, my interests have drifted in and out of these areas.

During the summer of 2016, I made a series of vlogs documenting my travels through Asia. My friend Jingyi Zhao and I took a one week trip to Thailand before heading to Tokyo for a week to participate in the MUSCAT program organized by the university of Tokyo. Here are four videos that I made documenting the trip.

Over IAP 2015 (MIT Speak for our January break), Justine Jang and I worked with Fred Daso and the MIT 2017 Class Council on the Mixer Series project as a way to connect MIT sophomores with each other.
