Detroit, Michigan

It’s been over two months since I posted the previous part of this Midwest tour, but I’ve finally circled back to continue with the next leg — Detroit! We stayed at the Shinola Hotel, happy to support the Detroit-based watch & lifestyle brand. There was a very nice library in the nook right outside our…

We had a very brief double visit to Chicago, since we flew in and out of the city to attend the Taiwanese American Foundation summer camp in Indiana. So we were in town for just one night before camp and one night after. Here’s a look at our very brief visits to this very nice…

Maddi and Kangway first met on a graduate school visit weekend in Urbana, Illinois, Kangway’s hometown. The chemistry (yes, that’s what they were studying) was apparent. They have since moved together to Pasadena, Boston, and now the Bay Area. They are always there for each other, nerding out on Harry Potter and superhero movies, debating…
