on the street. This red, white and blue bag is popular but with no brand I couldn’t find where to buy it. Was it a secret? Join me as I look for the bag popularized by Chinese migrant workers but useful for everyone including those heading home to see their families for Chinese New Year. Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! The history of this bag is so interesting. The material was commonly used in construction in the 1960s and eventually made into a cheap, durable bag that became popular among working people in China. Now, lots of people use it though its popularity is fading. I had a hard time finding good information about the cultural significance of this bag online.

when you return to a place you’ve been to a million times before? After living in China, I visit my hometown of Damascus, Oregon and nearby Boring, Oregon. Walking the streets, taking pictures and eating American Chinese food, I reflect on what’s changed. What I find is the surprising effect the place I grew up has had on who I’ve become. It’s such a familiar place that keeps me grounded, allowing me to see who I was and what I’ve become. HELP ME These videos take time, effort and… money.

while hearing a man play his flute in a Shanghai park. The random whistling had no melody, yet he still played with a joyful spirit. This paradox prompted me to record what I heard and ever since I’ve had a growing curiosity about musicians like this man. Now I’ve returned to find out what they can teach me about Shanghai.
