Maybe it is strange to my fellows from Western that we, Indonesian like to fulfill our stomach into its maximum capacity when we have our breakfast. That's why, it is normal for us to have a full plate of fried rice (nasi goreng) complete with the stuffs: a fried egg, some chopped meatballs, sausag…

The second day was just filled with lounging and the opportunity to swim.  I was the only one on the entire boat who decided to jump in, and made it an exercise.  I swam to the nearest island and paced the beach for a while.  I noticed a jellyfish the size of beachball, so that made …

I've seen many scooter accidents while here in Vietnam. None of them have been too serious from what I could see. The bikes can't go very fast and there is usually heavy traffic which makes serious accidents hard to come by. I have been on several motor bike taxis, but only once did I actually feel…

It was the first time in Vietnam. I went to to help my aunt runnig Thai Products Exhibition in Hanoi, so traveled at the same time.

2007 four-week vacation to explore a part of the world that I've dreamed about visiting since I was a child. More importantly, it's the first trip that I had to entirely finance on my own - I feel like such an old person!
