Book signing of Rampokan with Peter van Dongen. Jakarta Book Club would be so delighted if he will come back and visit us in Jakarta when his new graphic novel is out! Dina bought his novel and got her face drawn within 3 minutes of sketching. Good luck with your books, Peter! #uwrf15 #ubud #bali – at Ubud Writers & Readers Festival 2015

Last night at Yoga Barn. Felt like I was stranded in a Survivor setting. Lol. Less than 10% of the students are Indonesians/ Asians. The rest just practiced with bra and training pants and guys were just bare-chested during the entire class. Ubud feels like another country, a separate island where I, too, become a foreigner. People who live here come from different parts of the world and they tend to stay in the area as residents. #ubud #bali

I guess this is what we like about Ubud. The lush paddy field, the calm vibe that relax the nerves… Happy weekend! #uwrf15 #ubud #bali

Good morning from Bali! It’s not everyday you see cute ducks running around the paddy field. #ubud #uwrf15 #weekend – at Ubud Writers and Readers Festival

Didn’t mean to collect them, but suddenly I have more and more subway card. In Indonesia, it’s equivalent to Flazz card. Widely accepted for train, bus and convenience stores. I should’ve bought ORCA… #subwayfan

Found money in my pockets etc… Tried to deposit them, but not accepted by bank. Feeling sweaty around the clock. Shower 2-3x a day. Still sleepy at earlier hours, waking up at 3-4am, feeling blue, if not sad. Finding myself already missing USA. #postholiday

 The one and only Starbucks Roastery & Tasting Room at Pike street, Seattle – Washington. There is literally one Starbucks in every block, but there is only one roastery. 

I like this place better than the first Starbucks store at Pike street, for sure. If you think you should visit that place, well, think again. You won’t be able to sit down or enjoy your coffee, cuz you’ll be queuing with a bunch of crowd (read: tourists) who just want to take a selfie. If you are surrounded by so many good coffee beans, believe me, you just want to stay aaaalll day!
