Train Journey

The train journey

On my journey from Bandung, West Java to Yogyakarta, Indonesia, I took a 8 hours train journey. In 8 hours on the train, what do one supposed to do? Well, I could either read a book or just simply sleep, but figured out something more exciting to do. First, I saw the beautiful views like this from my window:

We're on a bridge!

What you get along the way, so stunning!

Than, I thought, I wanna try something more trilling! So I walked to the middle part of the train to find a picture went the train turns.

Walking between compartments

And the best thing about trains transportation in Indonesia, well, you can just open the door and look outside! I know it's dangerous, but the view was so stunning and I can't help myself looking outside and taking picture like this one while we were crossing a bridge. It was so trilling because there's so must risk, but on the other hand, this too pretty to not look at. I literally just hang on to the door and started taking pictures.  

I'm just hanging on the door and peeking out!

And when I looked down, I saw something like this, and my heart was ponding because of the height. And I'm on a moving train with the door width opened, just hanging by the door.

What a view!

The whole trip was exciting. We even stopped in some little cities and saw people running towards opened doors to sell something. What a nice trip I had!

The Beach

There's just something about me and the beach. How I even always misses to go to the beach. I guess maybe it's because I have lived my childhood living near the beach of Maroubra. I love the misty wind, the sand, and the rush of the sea water. And it's just that pretty combination of water, sand, wind, sun, and sky that I love that makes me always want to go the beach.

What a perfect thing to have! Coconuts!

And this me in 1989, near our flat, can't believe how small I am! hahaha...

I miss that beach =) Want to go back there someday!

Quote of the month

"Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the sould of the universe. It's your mission on earth." - Paulo Coelho!

I really want to travel so badly, crossed mu fingers...

Vegetarian for a month

After Ash Wednesday last February 22nd, I've decided to be a vegetarian for a month. Well, this is some food I managed to eat wihtout meat. Honestly, it hard to get food without any meat in it. So sometimes I have to pick the meat out of the meal. Being a vegetarian for the first time it's not easy (specially if you really live meat and seafood). After the first week, my body feels like un-energized and a little fatique. But I managed to keep on going and not get sick. Actually, I felt more heathly because I ate more vegetables than usual. I'll maybe give it a go some other time. It's so refreshing.
