As I write, I’m sitting in a Starbucks in a mall in Bangkok. American Starbucks cappuccinos and Thailand Starbucks cappuccinos taste exactly the same. I’m wondering if I’ve failed as a traveler.   This is my first time traveling internationally by myself, and I picked Bangkok because I heard it was traveling on easy mode. […]

Ooph. If vision is needed for utility, taste is needed for life. Food is my lifeblood. Huge fan of taste to be honest. Your tongue is the instrument for tasting things. On your tongue, you have taste buds specially designed to taste one of the five basic tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, umami, and sour. These […]

Touch is a versatile sense. Your whole body can feel touch, and we can feel touch in multiple ways. I would say that your sense of touch is almost as versatile as smell in the emotions that it can convey.    The official sciency word for senses felt by the body is somatosensation. Somatosensation can […]

I’m currently traveling in Thailand right now, and one of the unique things Thailand is known for is its durian. Durian is a fruit that has a very particular smell. It’s akin to a rotten mango, and I’m a huge fan of it. It’s an acquired taste.   Your sense of smell is extremely underrated. […]

I love music. I would pay spotify 100 dollars a month for premium if I needed to. That’s more than what I would pay for health insurance. Music is my personal conduit for emotions, but more importantly, it’s only possible because I have the ability to hear.   Hearing is the ability to detect sound […]

With vision being such an important trait of ours, I thought it would be interesting to dissect the mechanics of vision a little.   Vision is the ability to perceive […]

No one likes planning for the morbid stuff in life, but I think it’s necessary. Life is short, and all it takes is a few steps to go wrong for it to be snuffed out. You can’t control the winds of fate, but you can control what happens to you when shtf.   Disability Insurance […]

Some of my friends in college probably got all of their daily sodium intake from ramen noodle packets. These were some smart people, but their blood pressure test is one test they shouldn’t be scoring high in. Learning to cook has a lot of practical benefits. Your health is going to be your greatest asset […]

  The healthcare system in the U.S. is screwed. I once had to pay for an emergency room bill (not mine). Without health insurance, the bill would have been a few thousand dollars. With health insurance, it was $85. May fortune be with those who don’t have access to proper healthcare.   In the U.S., […]

If any of you know me in person, I love raving about my credit card perks. I have to filter my love of credit card perks in front of strangers, because they already think I’m weird enough as is. One of my friends hates my rambling, because he’s a spendy dude, and having a credit […]
