Singapore: Little India

October 11, 2008

My brain is currently filled with snot from a flu, and I took tons of photos in Singapore (and bought a new camera lens), so I can’t be bothered to write much, will just post lots of pictures. Anyway, Singapore is a funny place.  Since it’s a city-nation, formerly a British colony, it has people [...]

Singapore: Food glorious food

October 11, 2008

Had to go to Singapore the other day for a visa run.  What a chore.  I unfortunately wasn’t feeling amazing due to a flu (which has only gotten worse).  Luckily I managed to have a bowl of piping hot chicken congee for lunch to get me going for the day.  Didn’t take pics, was too [...]

Surprise food

October 3, 2008

There’s nothing better than surprise food, in my humble opinion.  Surprise food is the kind of food that comes presented in a way so that you don’t quite know what’s inside. I first became a fan of surprise food back at the tender age of 16 when I was on a school trip in Vietnam.  [...]

A day in Bogor

October 3, 2008

Because the Sumatra trip was off, I decided to head out to Bogor for the day on the train. I was going to maybe stay in Bogor and keep travelling, but I will explain why I ended up just going for the day down below… I ended up on a good train on the way [...]

Hello misses!

September 27, 2008

Random times a million at a restaurant door: Hello misses! You want special very good food from America? Me: Saya tidak mau. (I not want) I have been sick sick sick for the past week.  The kind of sick where your stomach is churning constantly, you haven't managed to keep down any food since Monday [...]

Designer labels and dancing fountains… it’s all at the mall!

September 21, 2008

Jakarta is a city of malls.  So very many malls.  Until today, I had only been in one, Plaza Semanggi, where my work is, and I thought it was alright (except for the extraordinarily few lifts for the extraordinarily large crowds).  Everything seemed quite reasonable, if not somewhat baffling in layout. Today, I decided to [...]

Ramadan Market

September 19, 2008

Went to the Ramadan Market on Wednesday with the lovely Novia from my work to take some photos. For those that don't know, it's currently the Islamic holy month, which means Muslims (of which there are a lot in Indonesia… it's the country with the world's biggest population of Muslims) fast from dawn until sunset… [...]

South Coast Holiday- Part 3- The best game ever

January 29, 2008

Another little tale from our South Coast holiday on the Australia Day weekend. In our little holiday house in Broulee, we found a very ancient book of children’s party games.  After a few drinks, we decided they might be fun to play.  That is when we found the BEST PARTY GAME EVER.

South Coast Holiday- Part 2- Some snaps

January 29, 2008

Some pictures from our Aussie Day weekend trip to Broulee Beach and surrounds. Broulee’s bottlo, grocer and petrol pump.  It’s a small little place. To get to the beach from our holiday house, we just had to walk over the sand dunes. Sprawled out on the beach. Kitsch salt and pepper shakers in the nearby [...]

South Coast Holiday- Part 1- On the Road

January 29, 2008

For the Australia Day long-but-not-long-enough weekend, myself and 5 other luscious ladies stayed in a beach house in Broulee (otherwise known as Creme Broulee), south of Bateman’s Bay on the NSW South Coast. The next few blogs will be some stories from our fun trip. Eager to flee the concrete mess of Sydney and its [...]
