Alma Hotel, Barcelona, Spain

I didn’t choose the hotel. But I was very happy to stay here. Alma Barcelona was a wonderful hotel in a splendid neighborhood of the city. 5 stars exuded from their every pore as you entered the hotel and began the check in process. 36hrs in Barcelona is not a lot of time to enjoy […]

Ink.sack, LAX Airport, Los Angeles, CA USA

The day started in Osaka, after taking the 90 minute train transfer to the city in the “mildly air-conditioned car,” which was the perfect temperature for the ride. In Osaka, I met Yuko, Anthony Bourdain‘s (former) personal food […]
