It was a belated encounter with the Standard for two reasons: My flight to New York was icing up in the worse snow storm in Beijing airport, I got stuck on the run way for 5 hours, missed my connection flight in Shanghai, flew to Paris (I was in London just 4 days ago!) and finally arrived in the my favourite Apple after 23 hours!

Second reason dated back in 2009 June, my last visit to the Meat Packing District, I saw this Le-Cobusier -like glass-slab building, overlooking from Soho House in a sunny afternoon.
The building floating above the High Line, the High Line is an 80-year-old elevated freight railroad running down Manhattan’s West Side, it cuts diagonally through the beautiful garden.
The bed was way too soft!
The view that I woke up for the following week, try not to look at the right – Jersey…
I split my toe opened at the gym… was jumping one-legged with my bloody Nike Free and socks to the lift, thanks to my man’s “ Adventure First Aid Kit”!
Belated and beloved.
