Today is an exciting day as it marks the beginning of my much-anticipated research trip to Semarang. We started our journey from the office at exactly 8:30 AM, traveling in our trusty office vehicle, a Hi Ace. The ride was smooth…

First travel during a pandemic. After 11 months stay at home (which I love because I have my own house, my internet connection is fast, and I have no other human to serve), I have to go out for a vaccine. Then, I have no reason t…

Hi, just got back from Malang and finally stepped on Mount Bromo. No, no, not climbing like mount climbers, I’m not that fit. There're a lot of travel organizers who can help commoner like me to reach the top—at least high …

Meski sudah lama mendengar namanya, baru bulan lalu gue menyempatkan diri ke sana. Dari kota Solo kami harus berkendara ke Tawangmangu sekitar 1,5 jam. Solo sendiri tidak punya objek wisata alam yang bisa dibanggakan, jadi kalau…

I went to Belitong Island at the beginning of this month and quite shocked. It’s just 5 years since my last visit. Although the scenery remains the same, the number of visitor multiplies. There are so many people that it’s…

I just got back from Labuan Bajo last week. Yeah, I had time to visit Komodo National Park, the place I thought very hard to go to. In fact, there are 4 airlines flying every day to Labuan Bajo from Jakarta, Denpasar, Kupang…

On our way from Silangit Airport in Siborong Borong, we passed Batak Museum of TB Silalahi Center. Located on Jl. Dr. TB Silalahi No.88, Desa Pagar Batu, Balige, Toba Samosir, the museum is part of a historical neighbor…

As an A type, I enjoy making preparation for my trip. I'd rather bring more stuff than lacking any. My coming home vacation is always quiet as I don't tell a lot of people about it. I only inform my family whom I tho…

This year's snorkeling has cost me my google. It broke when I swam in Moyo Island. Well, it's served me for so many years so I have no regret letting it go. I just have to find a new one. But, is it sold separately? I b…

Do you know where Cikarang is? It's 66,2 km from my house with permanent heavy traffic. It took 2 hours to get there and 4 hours to return from there. I won't normally even plan to visit. But, today I'm escorting my…

I've been in love with Storks movie since I saw the trailer few months ago. Finally watched it today with Shanti. We run to the nearest cinema is in Senayan City XXI at lunch time and the theater only booked for 2 rows. Mo…

We got another chance to have meal together today. It's the independence day. So, even though it's a public holiday, we have to go to office and attend the flag raising ceremony. It's actually just 30 minutes, b…

Utiiiiiin! I finally meet my best friend from college tonight. To be honest, I was nervous she couldn't make it just like the previous appointment when I came to Surabaya. I know, I'm quite traumatic and hard to let the…

We departed from office at 15.09 and the road looked clear. Everyone in bus hope we would be home soon. However, after getting into Slipi turnover, the real nightmare was waiting for us. We were so close to the tollgate when th…

Here I am in the land of Sumba. The landscape is full of hills and the road is like a never ending “kelok ampek ampek” (44 flexures). I managed to travel from Western Sumba toward East Sumba yesterday. The travel takes 4 hours …

I finally step on the western island of Indonesia, Weh Island. The municipality is Sabang city and it can be reached by speed boat from Banda Aceh or flight from Kualanamu Airport of North Sumatra Province. It's a sma…

I totally forgot. It was few years ago when I was still in college that I asked AmiAmi or Poteji to go to planetarium. We never did. Suddenly, I had this inspiration on Thursday. I've been in vacation for a week, it's a…

Yeah, me, too Hoshikawa san. Me, too. In fact, I just got back from a tour in National Museum. It's the largest museum I've ever visit in Jakarta. Funny how it took so long before I can come. You can't miss this…

This week is a celebration of (fake) freedom. As my office is getting renovated, there's nothing much to work among those boxes. So, I decide to go out for lunch. Here's some delicious treat I choose:

There's something magical about this city that makes me missing it so much. The last time I came was about 3 years ago and I had chance to visit my university. However, this time is really quick journey. Following …
