It's been a crazy journey for the past one year and three months as I travel from one country to another, from one city to another, from one town to another, including living in Hong Kong while the protests were going on. Quite an experience and learned a lot along the way. Now I am quite exhausted. I haven't completed my goal of going back to South Korea, Taiwan and of visiting Japan for the first time due to the winter season, but at least, with a better airfare than a direct flight back home ($650 against $454, not including my baggage fees) I might be able to stop by Taiwan for seven days before heading back to the US (I might have to go home and visit my Mom for a while until this coronavirus slows down. Still considering it and see how it goes in the next few days. My visa is still good until February 13, so still plenty of time to make a decision.) Anyway if I ever go home, I'll be back, and for my next trip back, I should then be able to visit Japan and also go to Busan, South Korea (been to Seoul quite a few times but not Busan). Well, let's see in a few days if I really have to go home.
Bad Experience Trying To Go To Hong Kong
I will write a long post about this, so bear with me, I will do this soon. For now, follow one of my Social Media Channels to get updated with this.
My Photography and Film Project about Asia Unlike What's Done Before
I figure that there are people out there who would like to be my patrons and help me get this long term passion project into completion and to get it our there in the world. Just to give you my background, I got a Bachelor of Arts degree in Cinema and Photography. For the past six years, it has been a great experience for me being able to live and travel all over Asia. One of my best experiences is being able to live in China. In addition, I was able to travel to countries such as South Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Macao and others and continue to travel. Right now, I am in Thailand, which I love. And three weeks from now, I am going to another country. I am still trying to decide which country to go to next. Maybe go back to Vietnam and visit Hanoi, which I have not been able to visit last time I was in that country. I was only able to go to Ho Chi Minh CIty, Dalat, Nha Trang, and Danang. Or maybe Taiwan or Japan, which I haven't been to yet. Some travelers recommended to me that I should visit those places. For sure, I've always been fascinated by Japan. I used to be into anime when I was young. Also I had a bunch of Japanese friends back in college. As for Taiwan, I've always been fascinated by the Chinese culture, so this is a definitely a must-see place for me. For sure, I want to include this in my China project along with Hong Kong, where I lived for seven months. Anyway thanks to my future patrons. Any help is deeply appreciated, and even a like or a share of my Social Media profiles and my website helps a lot too.

Patreon - For Those Who Would Like to Support My Photography and Film Project About China and Other Asian Countries
I just got a profile on Patreon so if you like my project and would like to support it, please make a little contribution. For your contribution, I will let you know the progress of my long term photography and film project. I already had four exhibitions about this project, but I want to expand more on this project by shooting more pictures and videos for this project and to get this exhibited all over the world. My goal is to show the positive side of Asia, especially China, and from a different perspective (Asian American eyes). Usually most Western decumentary photographers and filmmakers tend to focus to show the negative side of this region by showing more of the negative side of this place, not its rapid progress into a very modern society. In addition, my goal is to combine documentary and experimental style of photography and film to make something more artistic and more of my own vision of this place. I use a variety of tools in order to do this with different cameras and equipment. To contribute, please go to www.patreon.com/chrisrevon Thanks so much for your support. Even a sharing this website and my Patreon page and like/subscribing to my social media accounts (Instagram and Youtube) can help me on this project.
