I had several errands to do today… It’s bitter cold (for Paris) right now and I lost my gloves in New York. Anyway, I walked around two opposite sides of town and got lost both times.
Paris, with its arrondissements, is built like a snail’s shell—or that’s what I read somewhere once.
The center of the shell [...]

I haven’t blogged in a bit due to mild depression, I think. Certain existential crises about who I am and what I’m doing here in Paris. The gray weather lends itself nicely to deep (and not-so-deep—”are my pores too big?” 
self-reflection. But I’m over the crises (I’m Maggie Roxx, damn it!), I’m heading back to [...]

On a recent jaunt around the Marais, I stumbled upon an oasis of New York familiarity—Pinkberry!

Due to my most recent obsession, 24, I’ve been up til 3 am every night this week finishing up the 3rd season on DVD. (I know I’m waaay behind on becoming a fan, but I’m just not a TV person.) Anyway, not sleeping til 3 am means I don’t get up til 11 and then [...]

Being Korean, I can’t go too long without some sort of Asian food fix; ideally Korean, but Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian and even Indian will do. Now France, which is roughly twice the size of Colorado, doesn’t exactly boast a booming Asian population, so finding decent Asian food can be a challenge.
Japan Town (or Street, [...]
