Polsuska a.k.a ORP, a Paramilitary for Train Company’s Assets
If you quite frequently travel by trains, you would see officers wearing a paramilitary uniform and orange beret around. No, it’s not Brimob. Few Brimob or Mobile Brigade Corps personnels (with blue beret) often guard trips on railway too. But not as much as Special Police Train or so-called Polisi Khusus Kereta Api (Polsuska) a.k.a.

It is more delicious than Bandung serabi or surabi that I used to eat when I lived in Bandung. Serabi is like a pancake. But it is made from rice fluor.

Then, I just run, walk, or dance between, regardless of worms and snakes that might show up. It seems stupid, childish, or whatever. But… yeah, here I am! I feel so lucky living in Surabaya,… More →

Sunbathing in Terawang Cave
This is the main reason I traveled to Blora, Central Java, a few weeks ago. On the Internet, Wana Wisata Goa Terawang looks so beautiful and attractive. Its roof is perforated, so the air circulates well inside. The sun falls…

Masohi: The Beauty of Maluku
“In Indonesia, the east side sparkles brighter.” When my sister told me that, I did not believe it. Not at all. I needed more than five years to see it with my own eyes. That happened when my father ordered…
