Athens / Monument

The Theatre of Dionysus is an ancient theater located on the southern slope of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It is named after Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and theater, and it was the site of the ancient Athenian drama festivals. The Theatre of Dionysus was built in the 6th century BC, and it underwent several renovations and expansions over the centuries. At its peak, it could seat up to 17,000 spectators, and it was considered one of the most important theaters in the ancient world. The theater was the birthplace of Greek drama, and it hosted many famous plays by the great playwrights of the time, including Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. It was also the site of the first dramatic competitions, which were held in honor of Dionysus and involved the performance of three tragedies and one satyr play. Today, the Theatre of Dionysus is a popular tourist attraction in Athens. Although much of the original structure has been lost to time, visitors can still see the remains of the stage, the orchestra pit, and some of the seating areas. The theater is also used for performances and events during the Athens Festival, which takes place every summer.

London / Park

Whipps Cross flats next to Hollow Pond boating lake is where I run. A perfect antidote to the chaos in the city.

Los Angeles / Nature

Riverside Cliff is a place discovered last week. Its basically a huge mountain where people go dirt bike riding and hike, but I love going there to shoot. Its breathtaking when the sunset starts to hit.

Shanghai / Restaurant

An immediate neighborly cafe and bar which is also one of favorite meet-up points in town for authentic French crepe, Sunday brunch and delightful drinks in the evening. Community and family-friendly menu, service and the uniquely chilling vibes here from the coffee stand to the shared table inside are just so addictive!

Milan / Restaurant

Tiny traditional restaurant with no reservations. Delicious traditional Milanese food, all cooked in their tiny kitchen. Always a queue so arrive early!

Berlin / Art

New type of museum. It's a private collection from contemporary art pieces such as by Anish Kapoor or Nobuyoshi Araki to Chinese imperial furnitures or ancient Asian sculptures. The collection is wonderful and the light design is perfect. There is no description or title of the artworks - it invites you to purely see/feel the artworks themselves without influencing by the names. Must to go.
