Work Field Trip: Ai WeiWei Art Exhibit on Alcatraz
in Bay Area
It was nice to get out of the office and go on a little field trip for work today. Instead of heading to the office, a few of us from the Marketing Team went to Alcatraz to check out Ai WeiWei's art exhibit to get some inspiration and a fresh breath of air. It was cool to see an art exhibit within a former state penitentiary and I appreciated the meaning behind each art installment. I think it's definitely worth it to take a visit to Alcatraz to see, hear, and read the artwork for yourself. My favorite pieces were With Wind and Stay Tuned. The art exhibit runs till April 2015.
Good morning San Francisco! We took the 11am boat out to the Rock.

Yours Truly. They gave us the opportunity to communicate directly with individual prisoners.
I randomly chose a prisoner in Vietnam.

Till next time!
RECIPE: Gai Pad Grapaow
Who doesn't like a meal with fried egg on top? A quick weeknight meal to make. I added some fresh green beans and replaced the red chili peppers with 1 dried pepper. Also, the store didn't have any thai basil so I just used regular American basil. The recipe makes enough for 2 complete meals.
Vietnam Photos Up!
I'm slowly backtracking and finally had time to work on my photos from Vietnam when I visited back in April. I went to Hanoi and Nha Trang. It wasn't the most efficiently planned trip per say, ha, we spent 5 days in the country, but 3 of the 5 were spent traveling. :P Nonetheless, it was so much fun. Vietnam is one of my favorite countries to visit. Click here for the photos.
RECIPE: Korean Short Ribs
Here's a showstopper dish to make that's super easy. Just blend the marinade in a blender and put it in a crock pot for 9-11 hours. Then wha-la, you have dinner when you come home!
