Brunch at Cafe August

All vegan eats and treats at Cafe August! Banana pancakes with almond whip aaaand chocolate-black bean brownie with peanut butter ice cream. To die for!

Healthy Brekkie / Quick Thoughts

Rainbow sojajogurt, maitsestamata tofu põhjaks ning kakaopulbriga seemnesegu

Blogis on valitsenud pikemat aega vaikus, seega - first things first, head uut aastat!

Mul on draft'is üks põnevam postitus Aasia näohoolduse kohta ja üldiselt mõtteid, mida selle blogiga ette võtta või mida postitada (hmm, ehk näiteks ka oma uusaasta lubadustest?)... südametunnistus ikka ei luba oma "pesa" niimoodi hüljata! 

So here's a reminder - I'm still here!

Pildid pühapäevast, mis algas ekstra ägedalt jooga ja powerwalk'iga, millele järgnes mõnus (vege) hommikusöök, kohv ja posu youtube'i videoid. 

A week in Helsinki

I spent the majority of my last week in Helsinki, where my days consisted of walking, shopping, more walking and reading.

上海 shenanigans

I stayed at a motel between Xintiandi, a posh shopping area, and this traditional old part of Shanghai, with old lane houses and streets like this. 
Talk about diversity.

2016 in a nutshell

January

I greeted New Years with Anna-Lisa, Vee and a bunch of others at someone's flat - to be honest, we were afraid we won't make it there before midnight. But yes, NY started off well and on January 1st, Anna-Lisa cut of her hair (with my blessings, of course).

(click for more - it's a long post!)

Bye '16, hi '17!

 Happy New Year!

新年快乐！

Head uut aastat!

С Новым годом! 

I am very aware that I'd been inactive with my posts in December - I swear, it was a busy one! 

Enjoying my 3 days off right now, drinking coffee with some Miles Davis tunes and am so ready for 2017.

Olen vägagi teadlik, et olin detsembris väga ebaaktiivne blogimises - võin vanduda, et see oli üks hullumeelselt tegus kuu!

Hetkel naudin 3-päevast puhkust (esmaspäev on vaba!), kuulan Miles Davis't ja joon kohvi. 2017, ma olen valmis.

Oct/Nov

Camping at Yunmeng Gorge during October Holidays

Taipei forever

Times yo

When you blessed and you know it

Done with year one!

I've been done already as of Tuesday, 'cause that's when I had my exam and got my grade, but the formal closing dinner for the first year was last night. So waking up today feels amazing - ugh, is it really summer?

However, I'm starting with my internship at a European advertising agency already tomorrow, so no time to aimlessly hang out - time to get to work! So excited!

 So this one time, me, Lili and Chen went for a sweaty yoga session at Lululemon in Sanlitun

My week in pictures

 That rainy day walk around Houhai

Fragrant Hills!

I've been craving going out into the wild nature for some time now - thus, me and Anna-Lisa set out yesterday at 7:30 am to the Fragrant Hills. Apparently it's super easy to get there from our campus - there's a bus right from our closest stop with bus 630 departing from here and after a one hour+ ride, you'll get dropped off at the bottom of hill!

Don't Let This Be Our Final Song

MØ - Final Song

Look at all that soju!

My favourite photography store, where I got my camera from and where I still buy my film from and get pics scanned. And they have the cutest, chubbiest ginger cat hanging out there!

Blessed

Picninc with kimchi, liangpi, Korean Sushi, sweet cherries and jiaozi. We're almost Asian, what can I say.

Shopping & Korean snacks

I went shopping with Anna and her classmate Yannan - waiting for our Uber ride to arrive!

Also, it's sweet cherry season here! Yum!

Weeeeeekend

A very happy Lili cause she finally found the 冰糖葫芦 with strawberries

At Vegan Tiger - ridiculously good string beans AND chinese cabbage with peanut sauce and sesame seeds. To die for.

 I had my oral exam on Globalisation, reverse innovation and IP rights on Friday and it went really-really well (despite the fact of me being sick for nearly a week and revising only during the last few days) and I was so prepped to just relax and do absolutely nothing on that evening. 

Labor Day weekend

Ah, Labor Day - it's another public holiday in China, so no work or school for me today! 
This time of the year in China - always weird & busy times (welp, it's so far only the second time for me, but seems like we're developing a habit here).
So, fast forward to my Labor Day weekend in Beijing 2016, what's been happenin'?

I did actually go to Lantern to see Jarreau Vandal & Mr. Carmack. 

It was oh-so-lit. 

Can't even. 

The music was so good, man, what even.

Danced until 5 a.m. and got home just in time for sunrise.

April via iPhone

(Psssst, Mr. Carmack coming straight from Coachella to China - Chengdu, Beijing & Shanghai. Takes Jarreau Vandal with him. I'll be dancing to these this Friday!) 

*insert salsa girl emoji*

Anyways, what's been up this month?

 Full on elevator selfies in Shanghai

Interview for 'The Park'

I met the boys of lovelovenyc while in Shanghai and they invited me to hang while they're doing the interview for 'The Park'. 

Friday Morning in Shanghai

Had a stroll in the neighbourhood to grab a coffee and low-key took pictures of little baozi stalls.

Käisin kohvi järel ning pildistasin salamisi baozi putkasid, mis teele jäid.
