Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Andrew and David Fung

By Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Content Agency on

Andrew: Singapore really changed my perspective, because it's not just a place for local Singaporeans, but it's a global hub. I could talk for days about that. Most Americans don't even know a single thing about Southeast Asia, so to be engaging with this region deeply is mind-blowing.

Q. If you've ever gone away for the holidays, which was the best trip?

A. Andrew: There was that one time we went to Hong Kong for Christmas. Obviously they interpret the holiday completely different than we do here and it's more like Black Friday with lights but, yo; I never really got to see any family growing up so it was good.

Q. What are your five favorite cities?

A. Andrew and David: Los Angeles, New York City, Singapore, Shanghai, Tapei. We are Chinese, so (this list is) totally biased in that we could actually communicate in (Chinese) with (people) in those cities. (This) is totally important in how much you enjoy a city. If I could speak every language in the world, maybe (our) answers would be different.

Q. Where would you like to go that you have never been to before?

A. Andrew: Kuala Lumpur is definitely near the top of the list for me. I think we'll make it out there within the next year. But, really, everywhere.

Q. What is your guilty pleasure when you're on the road?

 

A. David: Perrier water. I wouldn't buy that back in Los Angeles, because then I'd have to buy it for the whole office and that would get expensive. But, on the road, it really just eases the pains of traveling.

Q. When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?

A. Andrew: On the plane: Eye drops, face wipes, gum, mouthwash, floss picks, spray-can water, moisturizer, Wisps (disposable toothbrushes). Trust me. If you put that all in a little plastic bag and put it in the pouch in front of you, it's going to make your flight way more enjoyable.

Q. What is your best worst vacation memory?

A. David: The car rides, yo; the car rides. America needs to step up its public transportation infrastructure game. (Laughs)
