Trying Lao Food for the First Time
Lao food—it’s not something that’s available near my home. When I tried looking up Lao restaurants in my area, no results showed up.

The Fun Things I Did While in Madrid

Parasite fans, quick! What was the most iconic part of the movie? For some, it deals with the basement. For others, it was this catchy tune about adopting a false identity. Though for me, the most iconic part of the movie was when I saw ram-don for the first time. I was like, “What is…

Trying Ethiopian Food for the First Time
Yo, I’ve been wanting to try different cuisines for several minutes. Colombian food, Salvadoran food (pupusas, baby), Korean Fried Chicken—the list goes on.

The Best National Costumes from Miss Universe 2020
Even though 2020 is over and we are well into May, the Miss Universe 2020 competition is underway. Normally I would be talking about the evening gowns, as that is my favorite part. However, I want to switch it up and cover the national costumes instead. I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the…
