ini ga tau sih nama tempatnya apa yang pasti di pulau yang ada kota tua nya (pulau Gamla Stan) .... akhir bulan Maret masih dingin kisaran dibawah minus 3 sampe 0 derajat... di atas airnya masih ada esnya keliatan... tapi untungnya sunny banget selama di Stockholm

Makan siang sendirian di Vapiano (yaa namanya juga traveling sendirian) .... sebenernya sih Vapiano juga banyak di Jerman tapi sengaja nyari tempat makan  yang berwifi dan duduknya nyaman.... sebadan2 pegel abis jalan (masuk dari satu toko ke toko lain hihi) jadi sekalian numpang istirahat

Lagi2 numpang duduk hehe. Ini di public library yang lokasinya di pusat kota... berhubung di luar dingin dan lagi capek .... akhirnya iseng ke gedung ini dan nemu reading area buat pengunjung library ... ga salah deh yah Swedia sukses banget sama Ikea ... library aja keren begini. Kursi yang gw dudukin itu (keliatan kan mantul dari kaca) bentuknya kayak bola transparan dan digantung ke plafon kayak naik ayunan .. kece beuutt...

Kalo ngga salah ini didalemnya toko Cheap Monday (lupa kebanyakan masuk toko nyari diskonan) ... lumayan sih jeans nya yang di jeans yang di diskon jadi 120 ribu rupiah saja ... tapi ga beli karena emang lagi ngga nyari celana jeans..

Ini juga di old town area (Gamla Stan) ... indah ya .... tua tua antik gimana gitu... sayang ga ada yang bisa diminta tolong fotoin. Di Stockholm ga begitu rame turis kotanya... ada sih turis tapi ga heboh yang pake group tour gitu2...

Malem terakhir sebelum besoknya balik lagi ke Jerman pergi makan all you can eat Asian Buffet... mahal ciiiinn (namanya juga Skandinavia... sigh) ..... tapi apa daya lidah Indonesia udah ga tahan lagi pengen makan makanan Asia... kalo di kurs ke Euro sekitar 23 Euro ... tapi taste nya memang enak. Di Stockholm banyak banget liat restoran makanan Asia... tapi ya itu tadi harganya Skandinavia bukan Pasar Baru ... tapi selama perjalanan kemarin hemat makannya karena pagi selalu masak Indomie goreng jumbo di hostel... siang ngemil2 roti ... sore atau malem baru deh makan berat yang bener. Next blog post kayaknya bakalan foto2 late post lagi nih (banyak hutang setahun gak nge blog) ... masih hutang posting trip ke New York Sept tahun lalu ... ke Indonesia Desember tahun lalu (tapi cuma ada foto makanan doang di Indonesia) ... Stockholm sudah lunas ... bulan Mei birthday trip ke Zürich sama awal Agustus kemarin Lebaran an di Milan ... mudah2an segera lunas hutang2 post tsb. :)

pictures can explain better how I tried my best to not change a family-vacation into a-girl-gone-crazy-while-shopping-in-South-Korea-vacation .... and I'll be lying if I write I didn't shop that much ....

picture above is H&M Store in MyeongDong, Seoul designed by UN Design Studio, the building facade is kinda interesting but there's to much street vendor I couldn't take any decent picture... and two pictures below are in Gyeongbok Palace. I guess this is gonna be my last post about South-Korea-Trip, I always wrote that I'm gonna post this and that (esp. after holiday) and ended up post random thing from my cellphone camera ... such a lazy ass I am ...

Anyway summer is seriously here and I'm concentrating to get my WHOLE skin tan, since I wore too much long-sleeves on spring and didn't put any sunscreen in my skin, I ended up get a taned face... I start wandering if people get scared to see a pale Asian girl with brown head walking around @__@

first dinner, we were so tired and simply looking for dinner in a random restaurant near our hotel neighborhood 

 turn out they only serves Ramen, I like it though

We spent the first half-day in Seoul in the main train station, lost in translation while trying to buy a Korail Pass, and then we went to Dongdaemun. 2nd day exploring Seoul, went to Shinchon. Mission : Hello Kitty Cafe!

 Had lunch in Hyundae Mall Food Court and after that we keep looking around and asking people for Hello Kitty Cafe, it was rainy cold windy day so we decided for an afternoon coffee first, we lost our hope to found Hello Kitty Cafe - and suprisingly did found the cafe..

 here it goes, the cute cappucino and green tea latte .... drank my latte with straw of course, I have no heart to mess the Kitty face

a random corner in Shinchon, as usual cuteness overload everywhere

aaah how I miss Korea, gotta save some money and get back there someday.

ps: I've bought ticket for the next Autumn trip - I'm very very very excited for the upcoming trip..

Flew to South Korea four weeks ago and stayed there for fifteen days.. and I have to say that South Korea was one of my greatest journey ever.. the food, the overcuteness everywhere, the fashion, the traditional architecture, and the cherry blossom.. the country is definitely a place I want to revisit.

ps: the last picture with bubble tea was last Sunday here in S. I'm having my normal school life again now and if I'm not too lazy Korea Photobomb are coming in the next post.

as the University workloads are getting crazier each day, I'm having more and more difficulties to differentiate between weekdays and weekend. It's feels the same! Yet I should say that I'm happy, very happy. Period.

was in Appenzeller, Switzerland last Thursday .... actually went there to visit a carpenter's workshop, and ended up as one of the nicest day-trip ever made. The panorama was simply magnificent .... dreamlike and idyllic. All the home interior pictures are taken inside the original Appenzeller timber house, built approximately 200 years ago.

prepare the dough with the retro style mixer

it's doesn't looks so tasty but the dough is ready

here comes the magic biscuit, 10 pieces of crushed-Oreo

pam pam pam, ready to enter the 180ºC oven

15 minutes later nyaam nyam nyaam

Have a comfy weekend everyone!

cooked salmon broccoli prawn quiche for dinner last night, went to campus this morning, lost my voice thanks to heavy cough and wild weekend, went back home and ate dinners leftover, stayed in bedroom for hours in the afternoon, slowly but sure translating and typing a paper about Sumatra, sat in the living room this evening talking with the boys. An ordinary day is nice, not happy yet not unhappy, simply ordinary.

ps : don't mind the red dot, it's just chili sauce that I can't live without.

beside the fact that the Gipsy in Lisboa are like aggressive hyenas pickpocketing from tourist , I like Lisboa .... it's not beautifully beautiful .... the city has it owns indescribable character ..... between rustic and old ...... yet pastel facades and and feminine flower motives tiles are everywhere.

That's it - all the spring travel series.
Now : UNIVEERRRRSSHHHITTTYY! ;)

were in Madrid around last month and spent 3 sunny days there. I like Madrid, I should say. Architecture in Madrid is somehow adorable .... the building scale .... the golden ratio windows all over the town (not only on the old building, the new buildings also religiously keep the golden section ratio) .... and also their Zapateria (shoe store it is, haha)

the pale feet

the random cute store
