What Bloggers Do When They Meet Up
For the past two weeks in our holiday I have got to running around from one place to another on daily basis. After going back from Siem Reap, we’ve had lunches and dinners appointments every single day I start making schedule so I wouldn’t forget which couple or people we are meeting today and tomorrow. [...]
The End of Indonesian Language (?)
I am delighted that lately I have been collecting college friends in Facebook. Everyday each one pops up and says hi. While some of them I recognize immediately as they were in my assignment or student body groups, I need more time on others as we weren’t that close in uni (excuse me, my class [...]
Bloggers' "Land Coffee": Join Us?
I am due to be back in Indonesia by 24th of January. Which apparently not a perfect time to visit the country since God has problem with her bladder lately. Our place should be like a lake by now, and I prepare for the worst. In February 2007, I was stuck in Hong Kong for [...]
What A Difference A Nationality Made? (4)
I should have declared The Netherlands embassy my sworn enemy as I have never had any luck with them whatsoever. Last year I applied for a Schengen visa because mr.mck was going for a training and I decided to join him, and it took the consular here in Aberdeen 2 weeks to proceed the visa. [...]
Myths, Monsters and Hobbits
~Ever wondered where the fabled unicorn came from? Or maybe the phoenix? Did hobbits actually exist?~ There are probably more than a hundred TV channels here in UK and we do need to read a TV guide to determine what to watch or what to record every night. I hardly see Sky3 but for some [...]
On Cards

The End of An Era (?)
It’s official. Bugils Jakarta (I can never know the right spell. Is it Bugil’s or Bugils? BuGils or BuGil’s?) will hold their very last party in December 13th. We have heard the rumour about Bugils closing down forever, but this time it is for real. It should be official, because the bar throws the countdown [...]
Another Reason To Drink and Be Merry
Cazbar is celebrating its anniversary, and I am proud to announce to the world, that the bar, which name was formed during a weekend away at one of the shareholders’ house through some quiz (the one who came up with the name that would be used for the bar will get free beer and {updated [...]
Bart and 'Sweet Home Obama' Go International
Bartele Santema is in his element. I can imagine him sitting down in a dressing room, powdered-face, maybe a little bit of lip gloss and mascara to enhance his features, a stack of stroopwafels on the table, a glass of beer in one hand, practicing his lines, trying to remember all of his six bars [...]
