我在台北出生,在洛杉磯唸書、工作,整整十年。現在兩座城市來來回回,每次回到 LA,它都會再教我一點新東西——有時候是一杯 $10 的抹茶到底值不值得,有時候是怎麼在 405 上塞著車,還保持風度。
JSLALALAND 從 2011 年的一個部落格開始。那時候寫餐廳、寫穿搭、寫哪裡好拍。十幾年過去,我還是在寫 LA,只是現在更好奇的是:一座城市的人,怎麼吃、怎麼休息、怎麼把自己照顧好。我把它叫做「圖解・情感人類學」——用圖鑑的方式,記錄一種生活方式。
不用從頭看。想去 LA 的、想好好休息的、只是想看看兩座城市有多不一樣的,往下挑你的那一章就好。
I was born in Taipei and spent ten full years studying and working in Los Angeles. These days I go back and forth between the two, and every time I'm back in LA it teaches me something new — sometimes whether a $10 matcha is worth it, sometimes how to stay gracious while stuck on the 405.
JSLALALAND started as a blog in 2011: restaurants, outfits, where to take the photo. Fifteen years on I'm still writing about LA, but what I'm curious about now is how a city eats, rests and looks after itself. I call it Illustrated Emotional Anthropology — field guides to a way of living.
No need to start at the beginning. Planning an LA trip, looking for a way to rest, or just curious how different two cities can be — scroll to your chapter.
