Mist around Bromo

From Malang we go to Probolinggo, stop point to go to Cemoro Lawang, with a bus cost Rp. 12000,- . After we arrive, the transportation is available, ELF waiting for another passanger, they won't go unless the passanger is full. We waiting for about 3 hours..and at last they got a tourist passanger with their local couple. 6 people total, we have to pay Rp. 40.000,-. I fell like been fooled. At cemoro Lawang many hotel available, from Rp.60.000,- to expensive. At low season it's kinda hard to look for a jeep, and its kind'a cost you a lot. Normally 1 jeep for Rp. 300.000,- fit for 6 people. but i have to pay Rp. 80.000,- / pax. Later the jeep guy suddenly cancel me from the ride. I don't know why exactly, but it's already happen and we must go to mount Pananjakan for sunrise. It's 11 pm when they told us, and i couldn't find people around again, they already sleep. So i decide to wake up at 3 am, and find "ojek", imagine how cold..Damn!

And you know what?we just see fog from mount pananjakan. Sigh...

But every journey have its own story, riding a bike on sea of sand is trully an exitedment, feels freezing in the middle of the fog, waiting in vain for the transport. If you feel bad there's a word of wisdom "Let it Be"..enjoy every moment..

Ha Long Bay

November 14th 2008

I saw one awesome natural wonders on earth, feels amazing.
I wonder if earth is this beautiful, how bout the heaven?

The mountains, sun, sea, mist, all together gave you this amazing scenery.
Halong Bay has twice been recognize by UNESCO as a for a world heritage area for this scenic beauty. Located in north eastern area of Vietnam, best to get there is from Hanoi.

Take a boat, lay on the rooftop all day long, take a picture with mind and your camera, do kayaking, and enjoy your life.



Local legend has it that long ago when the Vietnamese were fighting Chinese invaders, the gods sent a family of dragons to help defend the land. This family of dragons began spitting out jewels and jade. These jewels turned into the islands and islets dotting the bay, linking together to form a great wall against the invaders. The people kept their land safe and formed what later became the country of Vietnam. After that, dragons were interested in peaceful sightseeing of the Earth and decided to live here then. The place where Mother Dragon flew down was named Hạ Long.

Beef Steak Hanoi

Near Hoan Kiem Lake, there's so many guest house and a travel agent that offers you tours to many places in Vietnam. Some are budget tours, some are expensive tours. Once i come to expensive travel agent, and i didn't agree with the prices to get a tour to halong Bay, he oust me and told me to go to Sinh Cafe in the neighborhood with his cocky face.

Many local food available around here, but i think this is the best i could eat here..With fresh cow meat, fresh vegetable, and tasty sauce, you grill it with a paraffin stove, and here you are a beefsteak!

Citadel : Forbidden Purple City

Citadel : Amazing architecture located in northern bank of perfume river, Hue. Once became capital city of the southern kingdom by all Nyuyen Lords and officially became the capital under Tay Son'reign for approximately 400 years.

And trully its amazing and worth to see..
No wonder it is became one of the UNESCO world heritage.

The construction is old and kind'a vintage, surrounded by a little river and the building is so colourfull. It's a pleasure to spend time in this site.
