    Life update and Bandung trip

    Life update and Bandung trip

    It has been, like… 3 weeks (?) after my last post of having hospitalized due to an accident, and I can say that I’m recovering.

    Indonesia Trip (December 2019)

    Indonesia Trip (December 2019)

    Back in December, we decided to have a week-long trip to Indonesia, specifically to Jakarta and Purwokerto (my, hm, I want to say it as ‘hometown’, but it’s not exactly my hometown.
