Read more: PraianoOur trip to the Amalfi Coast was more than 3 months ago, but I’d never got round to write everything I wanted to write on this blog. And that makes me sad, really. This blog started as a travel journal for me, but I’ve been struggling to find time to write here, thanks to the…

A Walk in the Park
The sun made another appearance again today, and this afternoon Katka suggested to have lunch and walk in the park. I was supposed to do some work before going away, but who could resist such idea? Plus the weather was really great. So I said yes straight away, ditched my work, and met her at…

Spring Equinox and Franz Ferdinand Concert
It’s a coincidence that the spring equinox is also the international day of happiness (or is it really a coincidence?). Although the weather isn’t as merry as the past few days, it doesn’t dampen my mood. Things have been really, really good lately. And last night, it was even better. One of my best nights…

Spring Fever!
The weather has been really great for the past few days. Yesterday it was so sunny that everyone went out with only t-shirt and shorts. Of course, I gladly welcome the sun like a long-lost friend. Having been a whiny girl back home whenever the sun was scorching, I didn’t have the slightest idea that…

Isle of Wight
The thing about living close to the Isle of Wight is, I never actually planned to go there as I thought I could hop on the ferry whenever I wanted and be there in less than an hour. It’s that close. One day I bumped into Lukas at the campus and told him about the plan to…

The Other Side of Southampton
I had a crappy week. So crappy that I was on the verge of tears for a few days. The weather didn’t help as well. It’s been raining everyday and I didn’t even bother to bring my umbrella with me, as it wouldn’t be much use. The other day, I was on my way to…

Edinburgh
I wrote about Arthur’s Seat and Edinburgh Castle before, and now I finally managed to find some time to write about my whole experience in that short trip. On my third day in Southampton, I was queuing to enroll (5 hours of standing, no less) when I started chatting with two people in front of…

Bandung
Things I miss about Bandung: Rainy days in Potluck Kitchen, watching the water dripped on the glass window Sunny Sunday mornings at Car Free Day, followed by breakfast at Roti Gempol and a cup of tea which was never hot enough, no matter how many times I asked for it Baso Bawean and the friendly…

Edinburgh Castle
On my third day in Edinburgh, I went to the castle despite the terrible weather. I should’ve done that earlier since it was weekend and the line was long. But I had no choice except standing in the drizzle and covering my camera with a plastic bag, hoping it would survive (this beloved camera has always…
