Next stop: Chinatown.



spon·ta·ne·ous
spänˈtānēəs/
adjective
performed or occurring as a result of a sudden inner impulse or inclination and without premeditation or external stimulus.

That definition seems to become more of a reality to me than ever this year. What drives a big part of my “adventures” has been done out of impulse or just pure boredom.

Which brings me to today.
Me and my friend Nat (shocker), decided to go visit good ‘ol Chinatown.
This decision was a spare of the moment kind of thing. We got lost at some point, which doesn’t surprise me. But hey, we got there!


SO, if it’s something that was really prominent in Chinatown, it was the street art! They were filled with vibrant colors, and details that you couldn’t miss.
Note: Walking really isn’t that bad when you’re surrounded by such interesting art.

Me & Nat spot cafes like it’s our job.
Raw Sugar, was no disappointment!
This place was detailed to the core, but with the most timeless and vintage pieces that made this cafe unique. Not to mention, that their mocha’s are just...exquisite? excellent? lovely? At this point, going to cafes has become a lifestyle and I am completely okay with that.

After sipping on what felt like heaven, we ventured out, walking from street to street, capturing anything that made us stop in our tracks.

This was until, we found a knickknack store. This store was one of a kind, that's for sure.

Finally, this day couldn’t end on just coffee.
So we felt the need to get Pad Thai.
Review: Never been so satisfied!!!!

With all of that said, adventures don’t always have to be planned.
And, they don’t always have to be so extravagant.
For me; a camera, good company, and a new destination does just the job.




Love,
MC
