It was a bright scorching Monday morning in Jakarta, when I decided to stroll around the city. I felt like getting my lungs a little bit dust of Jakarta’s polluted air because I had stayed there for about a month and gotten myself in hiding mode ever since, without any exposure to the capital of Indonesia. Like few acquaintances from the other sides of Jakarta, … Continue reading When the Sun Shined over Jakarta
Autumn is happening now at the northern hemisphere countries.

You can put “soondaegukbap” (rice and soondae soup) in the middle of my name for my love for it. It doesn’t sound appealing nor sexy, but I do love this (what many friends said) weird food.

During my … Continue reading Halmae Joah

I was scrutinizing each of my travel files for pictures to tag along with my travel articles when I stopped at Sangatta’s file, and then realized, I hadn’t talked much about one of few areas where I spent my childhood.

The scorching sun of Samosir Island that day could not hinder me from driving the rent motorcycle all the way up to the approximately altitude 1,300 meter of Lake Sidihoni. Located 40 km westward of the visitors’ most favorite Tomok, the people at my homestay said that I could reach Lake Sidihoni in about 1 hour. However, the road wasn’t easy for my riding skill, … Continue reading Lake Sidihoni, A Lake within Lake Toba
