I was invited by the Franki app to attend the grand opening of Robata JINYA in Hollywood, and of course I had to go.

The Event Originally, 20 people were confirmed, but only 9 showed up. That made the evening more intimate, and the staff treated us exceptionally well. O

Thrifting during layovers has become one of my favorite ways to explore new cities. Instead of just slam clicking on my layovers, I dive into local thrift and vintage shops to uncover unique finds and experience the culture through its secondhand treasures.

Sometimes a layover becomes a legacy. This one unfolded in three acts — from first bites to final blessings. 🥖 Day 1: First Taste of France “Trying French Cuisine for the First Time”    We landed in Paris and headed straight into flavor. My crew suggested a local French restaurant, and I said yes — even though I’d never tried French cuisine before. The textures, the sauces, the ritual of it all… it felt like a culinary initiation. I’ll never forget that first bite. 🛒 Day 2:
