When Life Get's Boring

Try new things !

Finally back again to post something new, a new fun, new photos and new learned. It was two months a go. I feel bored a 'lil bit with my days of life, about to go somewhere but have no idea at all that time. Suddenly friends inviting me to joined them to go hiking to a mountain in Garut, West Java, around 7 hours driving to reached.

I never go hiking before, I more into beach than mountain, but I don't want to limit my interest on traveling just like that. So I jumped into my friends idea, and went hiking for the first time in my life ever, and the best plus moment it was my country, Indonesia Independence Day. So, we celebrate it exactly when the sun was rise beautifully. I felt so awesome that time.

This is Jakarta

2014. It means my blog will come in to a fifth year. Many things happened in my life yet in my blogging mood. From a very strong-desire to update more, in to ah-okay-at-least-i-post-something-this-year or whatsocalled lazy, but, now here I am again, coming to this blog present you guys my latest photos that I took couple weeks a go.

So, about the pictures I post now, it's two picture about Jakarta. The one is roof of Museum Jakarta during the day and night, another one is icon of Jakarta, Ondel-ondel (see this for explanation what is ondel-ondel click!) and Monas.

Dieng Plateau, Wonosobo

Queuing for the sunrise.

Looking back to eight months a go, I traveled to Dieng Plateau in Wonosobo, Central Java. It was a bus-twelve-hours-driving to go and need almost the same time to get back from Dieng Plateau to Jakarta. I was a tour guide for about twenty-something bank officers in Jakarta, so, the best part of this traveling was I got paid.

That time was the first time ever in my life to leave footprints in a marshy plateau that forms the floor of a caldera complex on the Dieng Volcanic Complex, which sits at 2,000 meters above sea level. What I can say about this plateau is just wow. Wow for the good-cold weather there, wow for the view that I never had before, wow for the unique-taste-yet-shape fruits there, and hundreds more wow for hundreds more good things I got there.

In a very early morning, me and the tour, hiking the plateau to hunt the sunrise, we did it even though it wasn't that great sunrise, but I still got my best-picture at that moment. I captured people queuing step on small stairs before reaching the highest place to see the sunrise with my Canon EOS Kiss X4 camera. What do you think ?
