   You know, perfection might not exist in life but the laksa at Bite of China in Dun Laoghaire sure does come pretty darn close.

   🍜😋

     @aral Good to know! I’m hoping to travel to Dun Laoghaire in October.

     @fgraver Cool, looking forward to it. Both my undergrad and grad degrees are in film (with a lot of critical media theory in, in case you couldn’t tell) but I never actually worked in it :)

     @aral I will! The National Film School at IADT is hosting an international film schools conference in the last week of October. I’m hoping to get the funding to travel there.

     @fgraver Nice :) Do love Norway. Haven’t been for a while now that I think about it :)

     @aral Cool! My undergrad degree was in Cultural Studies (in Canada), but then I ended up working in theatre and film before moving (back, in a sense) to Norway.
