Studio Ghibli in Seoul: Animage exhibit

-

 The Studio Ghibli "Animage" exhibit was a temporary pop-up exhibit in Seoul. 


I thought it had great photo-ops as a Ghibli fan.

I regret not using google translate on my phone to actually read about some of the exhibits. If anyone is traveling in Asia and there is a limited time Ghibli experience I would recommend trying to book. 

I reserved a 10 AM slot on a Tuesday for $20, and being my first day in Seoul just ubered to the PopCon square in a mall. 

I was a bit confused but eventually found it and signs in the mall pointed the way. The staff was kind enough to take a pic of me at the cat bus entrance.

Most of the exhibit was in Korean.

I didn't buy that much merch - I was fine with the posters and clear bag and small ticket they gave.

teamLab Borderless

teamLab Borderless reopened in Tokyo February 2024- and if you like immersive art, infinity rooms, and want some potential cool IG shots- I recommend checking it out!  (Bubble Universe) I went at opening and spent over 1.5 hours (having already seen a few of the other exhibits in other teamLabs in Singapore and SF, I would budget over 2 hours if this is first teamLab ever),  (Crystal universe - also in Singapore, teamlab Planets) including going into the tea house (for a drink and immersive ice cream)-  I just wish I found the "Bubble Universe" room earlier- but with over 70 different "experiences"/exhibits - it does seem truly infinite!  What is teamLab Borderless? teamLab Borderless is "a group of artworks that form one continuous, borderless world." Universe/water particles room "Artworks move out of the rooms freely, form connections and relationships with people, communicate with other works, influence and sometimes intermingle with each other,...

The Hilton Maldives Amingiri opened last year, and if you have Hilton points to spare/free night certificates (get automatic diamond status, an annual free night certificate + $250 annual resort credit if you open the Aspire amex, referral link: here ), or want to go to Maldives and are Hilton Diamond and want to stay in a room with a private pool- this is the stay for you.  Overwater villa #28  Infinite ocean PROS:  Each bungalow is a "standard room" and comes with a private pool  Close to airport - 20 minute speedboat ride was mostly smooth even when it was windy/rainy  Service from the airport was great, as well as getting through airport security Perks for diamond members: breakfast with bubbly, and daily happy hour  CONS: Food is pricey - a pizza or burger is around $38 USD, glass of wine is over $20 USD 12% taxes and 10% service charge on everything  Unclear daily/weekly schedule - phone app didn't match with actual activities offered Level of se...

Being a first gen lawyer/law student

Today I was on a King Hall First Generation alumni zoom panel with Alex and John, who were also first-generation college and law students (and now lawyers). It's great that UC Davis is setting up this group to help first-gen students, and I myself got valuable advice from Alex and John and also got the chance to reflect on my own challenges as a first-gen lawyer/law student. I forgot to advise the students to take advantage of the deals at the Davis Grocery Outlet, Bargain Market, but hopefully still was able to share some tips based off my experience working for state government. Below were some of my reflections: What do you wish you knew in law school that would have prepared you better for your work and in general as an attorney? I wish that I practiced legal writing more/tried to enter more legal writing essay contests/scholarship competitions. I also wish I used Westlaw more to read sample pleadings/briefs/cases in certain areas of law.  My colleagues gave advice on networkin...
