It's been a busy week and I'm glad I have a long weekend because today is Indonesia Independence Day! So yesterday, my friends and I went to Market & Museum at Lippo Mall Kemang, Jakarta. It's a fashion and food event with a lot of local brands, food truck, and so many delicious food. This time, their theme is Tropical Runway. And the sun in Jakarta isn't playing it cool, it was extremely hot and I know that's the best time for hair bun. 

The first booth that I chose is Pooki Bbang, Korean Poop Bread. That poop isn't belong in the toilet, the poop bread is belong for my tummy (well okay, why this sounds disguisting). It taste like waffle though, in a shape of poop with Nutella filling and it taste so delicious. Second stop is ice cream with bumblebee nests as the topping. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture because the ice cream is melt so fast (as I mention earlier, the crazy hot weather). Our third stop is Fried Mushroom with BBQ sauce and once again I didn't take the picture, this time because it seems so tempting and I can't wait to eat it. 

We didn't end our journey right there! I feel like I really need to write this down because this situation is the winner of the day. On the evening we're looking for a good place to drink and we drive around without knowing where we heading. We decide to go around Senopati and we drive in a wrong way which is one way! We feels like we re-creating a scene from Ant-Man movie where Luis and the crew back it up their van and was like "Back it up bro, back it up. Back it slooow...back it up." If you seen the movie, you should've know what I mean. And yes, in the car we're like back it up broo back it up slooow. I know it's funnier when you see it by yourself but trust me it was hilarious.

So finally we're stopped by at Pong Me to have a drink and pizza. And they also have a ping pong table so we all play there. I was thinking maybe this post makes you wonder that we ate a lot of food for a whole day and why our tummy is never full. I never know the answer, maybe because we just love to eat and try new food in town.

Last week I have a day to spent a weekend getaway to Lembang, Bandung. It was a very short trip but it was fun! We went to Kampung Gajah Wonderland, have you ever go there? I also met my long lost friend: Bart Simpsons, the one and only El Barto. When I was there, I'm mostly enjoy the view and eat a lot of food as always, culinary is my favorite part when I go anywhere. But I'm definitely went to my favorite ride.

My friend and I went to a House of Terror, as always creepy thing is my favorite. We have to go upstairs before we start the ride and as we enter the gate, we could hear a very creepy song and yes, that was so loud. What makes this house even scarier is there's no one enter the House, so it's gonna be the two of us on the ride. As the ride is started, we can't see anything because it's totally dark until suddenly someone scream and running toward us and he looks like a monster (well he tried to be a monster or devil or anything scary) and he just a few inch from my side. My friend and I scream like a maniac! I didn't expect that he'll appear on my side hahaha. And as we continue the ride, there's a lot of creepy moving statue, babies crying, ghost are waking up from their coffin, a scary women chopped her head in the shower and a lot of scary ghost that I can't describe one by one. I think the song and the sounds like someone beat a drum make us scare and the atmosphere of course. The ride feels like forever but I love this ride so much! When a haunted house could make me scare, that means the ride is great. And here's the entrance of The House of Terror.

She's Up All Night For Good Fun (Bali Part II)

Still about my Bali's trip, now it's time for a little bit traditional shopping. The famous market in Bali, Pasar Sukowati is a must place to visit for you who wants to buy anything related to Bali. From clothes to merchandise! Dare yourself to bargain with the seller because if you succeed, you will get more than a half price cheaper! Don't ask the price and pay right away because actually..you can have all the stuff that you want with a very tight budget, so be smart on bargaining with them. 

Shopping is done, now it's time for visiting a temple. Another culture trip! I visited Tampak Siring at Gianyar Bali. As usually we should wearing sarong, I don't know why but I love this part.

 This is also a beautiful place, I bet every tourist will love it. It's a Hindu temple or maybe you will also heard it as a Holy Water Temple. You could wash yourself with a traditional shower sourced from the springs at this temple. They said the water is to purify our self from the bad influence in life, also the shower is believed to eliminate all kind of disease and give us the whole new holy spirits. That's really interesting, isn't it?

Next stop is a traditional village called Penglipuran Village. This is the best place to learn about Bali's culture. It's a traditional countryside with the unique characteristic life and culture.

That's a very beautiful village anyway. If you want to learn about Balinese culture, you should visit this place and I'm sure you won't regret it. Some of the house also selling a traditional snack and drink, even though some of it are similar like in Jakarta, such as Klepon (traditional snack) but it taste totally different because they made it differently. 

Okay, now it's time for the beach. My friends and I tried to get to the beach before the sunset. We're heading to Kuta beach but we're stuck in the traffic jam! And yes you could guess it already, we didn't make it on time. 

Traditional shopping is done, cultural trip is done, beach is done. Now it's time for Bali night life! But no, I didn't go to a club though, even though there's a lot of famous club right there and a good one but now I choose to hang out at Kuta main street, Hard Rock Cafe Bali of course and visiting Bali Bombing Memorial. 

Found two homeless dogs, they're so cute! what a pity

Make some new friends that night and they're tourist. It's always so fun to meet new people and glad they all enjoying Indonesia. We all just wondering around for the rest of the night until finally back to the hotel and save a little energy for another trip on the next day. Well, that's it for a while but I still have part III coming up. Would tell you all about one of the famous lake in Bali, Beratan Lake in Bedugul, Tanah Lot, Hanging out with an owl, Bali beach and more coming up soon!

The Great Escape To Bali

Bali is one of the paradise in Indonesia. That's the closest place to runaway for me to have a great escape. Best place to stay if we're tired with the big city. Last July I did a long trip around Indonesia and of course Bali is on my list, never gets bored with this place. My favorite thing of traveling is learning their culture, so this time I didn't go for shopping or wondering around the mall. I go to many temples, village, and a lot of cultural places. It's gonna be the part I of my trip, too many places in one post so let's start with 2 places, Uluwatu and Pandawa beach.

Spent a few hours at Uluwatu, being lost with my friends and felt like a tourist. Decided to wear one piece just so I could easily hang out on the beach later and don't have to worry that I would wet my short pants on the beach. As you know, if you visit a temple in Bali, you have to wear Sarong. But don't worry, they will provide it. I wasn't spending so much time in Uluwatu, just snap a few pictures and enjoying the view because Uluwatu have a very beautiful view! You will also find some monkeys play along right there, but be careful of your belongings because they could steal your phone or your hat. I saw a monkey running away with a fedora, seems like that monkey have a taste in fashion.

After I went to Uluwatu, I went to Pandawa beach where you could find the whitest sand and bluest water. This is my favorite beach, I could spent hours and hours in the water or just chillin on the beach or rent a boat, ain't it fun? Before we get there, you could also see a lot of huge statues of Pandawa characters from Mahabaratha story. The path to go to Pandawa beach also have a beautiful view. You will also see the Limestone cliff between the entrance. Fyi, in the past..this beach was hidden behind the hill and they called it Secret Beach. Glad they found this beautiful place so we all could enjoy it.

Are you thinking to go to Bali for your next holiday trip? Because you should!

See you on my part II post, there's more beautiful places coming up
