A museum is always part of my travel itinerary
A visit to at least one museum is always part of my travel itinerary, even if that’s only for a road trip to the north, south, or to a neighboring island. Especially if we are traveling to a foreign city for the first time, a museum stopover is a must. For me, it’s the “brochure” that completes the story of the place, and leaves us with much more appreciation for the city.

Mom gave me the best investment advice
Growing up, my mom was strict. We had no junk food or soft drinks at home, weren’t allowed to play video games on weekdays, and our TV time was rationed. When I wanted weekday fun, I’d have to sneak out, take the elevator down from our condo unit, and play games with a classmate in another unit in the same build-ing. And unlike most who grew up watch-ing cartoons at 7 p.m., all I remember are the ones past 9 p.m., like The Angry Beavers and CatDog, since those were the only shows I could catch after finishing homework.
