Even though I was born and grown up in Bandung, but my parents always teach me anything about my hometown. Lamalera is a small village in the south of Lembata Island, East Nusa Tenggara. Not so many people know about this small village, especially if they are not from Flores. Lamalera becomes famous since the whale catching was captured on some of the media in Indonesia itself and abroad. Lamalera has a tradition to catch the whale in a very old-fashioned technique, using bamboo stick with knife called Tempuling. Lamalera is a village on the rocks, that’s why vegetables can not grow here, so the people here surrender their lives into the sea. People believe that whale is blessing from their ancestors so they can survive. Continue Reading

I wanted to create this series on my blog that will tell you about every step in chasing MSc in Economics since last year, but I was still afraid that it wouldn’t happen. By this time I am writing my story, I can share that YES! I am going to study in the Netherlands this September 2016.

So yeah, let’s get started and feel free to contact me for further information.
Cheers!

This time i would like to tell you about my short trip to Karimun Jawa. Probably some of you have already been there, but for you you haven’t. Don’t worry, I will try to share my experience to enjoy the Karimun Jawa. It is located in the North of Central Java area in the Java sea. Karimun Jawa Islands have some small islands and one big island which is the main district. I went on a 3-days trip. For me it is not too much, yet it is enough to enjoy what the island offered. I booked a package for my trip from a travel agent. It would be much cheaper if you arrange everything by yourself, but since it was a long weekend, everything was full booked. Continue Reading
