Sigmund Freud, a doctor living in Vienna, and a group of Surrealists in Paris exposed ignored aspects of psyche and revolutionized the role of the mind. In 1916, DADA, a protean movement, sparked in reaction to the millions inexplicably dying across Europe. DADA praised randomness and inexplicability and declared itself against the life of the mind. The Surrealism Movement emerged out of DADA, subsuming its antifascist and anti-conventional aesthetic elements. Surrealism wasn’t nihilist or anarchic; it found meaning where DADA found randomness. Initially, Surrealism was primarily a reaction to the immediate tumultuous social, political, and militaristic contexts of Europe. In the late 1920’s Surrealism shifted from an intuitive epoch, where Surrealists believed thought in itself could be freeing to a more productive era with directed aims and valued methodology. This evolution to a reasoning phase developed using the introspective work of Sigmund Freud as the foundation. Both Sigmund Freud and the Surrealists investigated the world and humans’ perception of it, with absolute disregard to conventional perceptions, norms, and consequences of research and their revelations

www.westtoeasttravel.com — I grew up in San Francisco, so the sights, smells, and tastes of Asia have a place in my earliest memories. In early ventures to Chinatown, I ate my first dumplings, saw my first shrines, smelled my first incense, learned how fortune cookies were made at a fortune cookie factory, watched dragons slinking and shaking in festive parades, and learned to properly grip chopsticks. At my local playground, kids spoke Mandarin. I still enjoy walking through Chinatown among shops with fish, produce, roasted ducks hanging on hooks, and apothecaries with little jars of exotic herbs, which you’d never find in a grocery store. I was also impressed by the strong sense of community and the positive impact these enclaves had on the broader city. As I reached my teenage years, I discovered the equally captivating Little Saigon. Located around a few blocks in the Tenderloin District, it has a distinct, unique vibe. In the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of Southeast Asian refugees – South Vietnamese, Khmer from Cambodia and Mong from Laos – settled in this neighborhood because it was where settlement programs directed them and because it was affordable. The Vietnamese-Americans of Little Saigon and San Francisco, have an outsize impact, owning the majority of the businesses in Little Saigon and achieving high rates of success in other professions. While I had my first Pho in the Outer Richmond, it was in Little Saigon that I first tasted banh mi: sandwiches made with a crusty French baguette filled with Vietnamese vegetables and meats. Like Vietnamese food in general, they are zesty and piquant. Two years ago, I worked as an intern at the Bay Area Council. I spent a fair amount of time learning about the trade connections and aiding a trade initiative between China and the Bay Area. This exposure to Eastern culture and business inspired me to plan a trip to some of the places that have had a strong influence on my hometown, and on my own palate – Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. I hope to visit China and Hong Kong in the near future. Read on to learn more about this alluring and friendly part of the world. All of my future adventures will be documented on this site. I hope to have updates soon.
