Oh 12/27/14, my friends Nick (Eggboy) and Molly Yeh got married on their farm in East Grand Forks, Minnesota. East Grand...what? Yep. #farmlife
*Puts a check in the "random places I never thought I would visit" box.
Also *puts a check in the "have experienced -13 degrees and lived through it" box.
I flew in couple days earlier on the 23rd and stayed on the farm with Nick and Molly. Right after she picked me up at the airport, we went straight to Rhombus Guys Pizza. That was where I had my first Fargo beer, the infamous T-Rex pizza, tater tots on pizza, and met Molly and Nick's families. They all made me feel warm and cozy right away. They're such lovely people! There's a part of me, right now, that wishes to relive that week again.
Molly and I go way back and I had met Nick when they first started dating but....we never really hung out or chat. He has always been Molly's Nick/Eggboy/boyfriend/fiance but after spending a week there, spending Christmas with his family, eating Chinese food, trying my first lefse, I can now totally say that he is my friend too.
So thank you Molly, Nick, and your families for such an awesome time and welcoming me with open arms.
Last time I was in Hong Kong, it was March 2001. I was there for a week during spring break. I guess I was excited to go back but at the same time I didn't really care too much about it. You know I was young and wasn't into photography or exploring or food or really anything. I was stuck in LA and weren't really thinking about the future. Moving to New York really changed me, changed me for the better definitely. I'm more curious now and so to go back to Hong Kong after 13 years, it was great! I'm was born in Hong Kong so it will always be "home" and yet at the same time, I feel like a foreigner.
