Korea: Yellow is the new Black

At the end of my first trip to South Korea, I promised myself for coming back here again when it’d bloom with beautiful cherry blossom or when autumn foliage would fully engulf the whole country.

Zombieless Train to Busan

For the average-knowledge person like myself who knew Korean culture by flashes of movies and Buzzfeed suggestions on Youtube, the word Busan rang in my head with correlation of the famous apocalyptic film that had that word in its title, Train to Busan.

Jogja: NZ Warms up

Ke(m)Bali

Kembali ke Bali. Coming back to Bali. It’s been more than 2 years since I stepped my feet back to this island of Gods. Last time here, it wasn’t pretty much count as a trip nor a holiday, as it was an office meeting. Me and my friends have carefully planned and looked forward for this […]
