I drew this map for TDAT x Stroly Mapping Special Places contest in November 2019. This place is special to me because it is the birthplace and home to a woman who means the world to me, my mother. Despite being born and raised in this town, I've never really got myself familiar with it. Probably because of the many years being out of town for studies. Listing out the places of interest was quite challenging and I think that is normal for a lot of us when it comes to extracting such information from one's hometown; how ironic. Sure, you frequent its traffic, you rush through that one hidden gem on daily basis, you may know every turn and corner like the back of your hand but to get that sense of 'this town is touristy enough', that may need some work. My secret is to turn to TripAdvisor. That way, I get to learn to see it from a different perspective. That's how I see the hidden gems - that's how I realise there's a lot to re-learn about this little town we call home. So here is a little introduction to Klang from my side.

This place is special to me because it’s the city where I arrived as an outsider, and left as a local. The map depicts “My Leeds” — the landmarks which helped me navigate the city when I first arrived as a university fresher, and the bars where I spent many incredible nights into early mornings. Known as “the London of the North”, Leeds grew out of Britain’s Industrial Revolution, and its rich, diverse history is reflected in the vibrant and eclectic city we see today. From elegant victorian shopping arcades and architectural splendour, to boozy bar-crawls and toe-tapping music venues, Leeds has plenty to offer the wide-eyed country boy when first moving away from home. No matter how many times I return to this city, there’s always a quirky new bar or restaurant to add to the extensive list of interesting places on offer, and although I may not currently live there, I always consider it to be home. Included in the map are not only the places, but the people who made this city an obvious, unquestioned choice for my favourite place — a place “where there’s music, and there’s people, and they’re young and alive” (The Smiths, 1986).

This place is special to me because...I just moved to Austin this summer, so it's my new neighborhood that I have enjoyed exploring through food. These are a few of my favorite breakfast spots in downtown Austin. Here it's Tacos over Burritos in the morning, and I have to say the Migas at VeraCruz are the best! My favorite trendy, chill and work places are on the west side, along with some great diners. But, the absolute best place is a bit north of downtown so I had to squeeze it in - Bird Bird Biscuit. It is worth the extra drive - get the fresh fried Queen Beak sandwich it's the best in town!

A map of some of my favorite spots on northern Öland, an island and a county in the south of Sweden. I spend my summers here and always miss it everytime I have to leave – it's the garden, the cottages, the barns, the beaches, the sea, the landscape. Evening bike rides between corn fields, or getting fresh cranberry scones from the bakery in the mornings, our dog trying to "rescue" all of us as we swim and play in the sea. 
The golden deer is the symbol of the flag of Öland, and nightingale is the county's animal. The small island just outside of Öland, called The Blue Maiden, is thought to be a magic place in Swedish folklore, it's where the witches were believed to meet up ...

春の京都は、息をのむような桜の絨毯で彩られます。哲学の道の桜並木、嵐山の桜景色、そして清水寺から見下ろす桜の海。古都の風景と桜が織りなす絶景は、訪れる人々の心を奪います。
春の息吹が残る中、夏の足音が近づくと、京都はまた異なる表情を見せ始めます。蒸し暑さの中に、祇園祭の熱気が街を包み込み、豪華な山鉾巡行は圧巻の光景です。鴨川沿いでは、納涼床が設けられ、川のせせらぎを聞きながら京料理を堪能できます。
また、夏の京都は、寺社の緑が最も美しい季節でもあります。苔むした庭園、青々と茂る竹林。そして、貴船の川床。川の上に設けられた座敷で、ひんやりとした空気を味わいながら、川のせせらぎと緑豊かな自然を満喫できます。
春の絢爛な桜、夏の熱気と涼美。どちらも古都、京都の魅力を語る上で欠かせません。季節ごとに異なる表情を見せる京都へ、ぜひお越しください。

Location tour of Crash Landing On You.
This time I summarized the shooting location in Switzerland, which appeared in the intro of the drama and it’s  last scene.
The beautiful mountains and lakes in Switzerland is so enchanting that it seems to heal everything. 
The photos even speak the clean and fresh air of Switzerland. It even looks like a painting, a mastepiece. 
If I wake up in such a scenery every day, every morning coffee will be a hundred folds more delicious.

Volcano boarding! Come visit!

この2年間、なかなか自由に部屋を出ることは叶わず、何度旅することを夢見たろうか。
外界とアクセスをする時はマスク一枚に自由を隔てられ、本当の意味で自由になれたのは部屋の中だけだった。

この一枚の絵は、そんな世界中の旅を夢見た人が壁に地図を広げて、旅を夢見る瞬間を描いたものです。
私たちは部屋の中にいながらも世界中の隣人と繋がり、それはまた宇宙にも繋がっています。

あなたはどんな部屋からこの部屋を眺めていますか？
