Alice Through The Looking Glass

Aliccee!! I watched it at midnight yesterday and OMG.. we were the only two people in the cinema. I have no idea why it was so quiet. There was only 1 person on the studio next to us!

Es Puter

Es Puter is an Indonesian ice cream. It's made with coconut milk instead of normal milk, which makes this ice cream creamier and crisp at the same time! One of my favourite ice cream of all time.. even though sometimes it gives me sore throat.. haha

Fly Indonesian Airlines

There are quite a few major Indonesian airlines that fly domestically, and for some, internationally. But are they safe? Comfortable? On time? Let's take a look at these major Indonesian airlines..

Indonesia Tourist Visa

Visa in Indonesia is one of the most ridiculous and confusing system that I have experience. Especially with work visa, spouse visa, and much more! However if you wanna come to Indonesia for less than 30 days, you can get a visa-on-arrival (VOA) at the airport you land on. Let me enlighten you with the Indonesian Tourist Visa..

Bakso Alex

Bakso - An Indonesian beef meatball soup dish. Usually served with vermicelli or yellow egg noodle (or both), salted vegetables, crispy wontons and shallots. Bakso originated from China and was brought to Indonesia by Chinese immigrants. 

Finding a clean, delicious food with nice seatings in Solo can be challenging. Today, I ate at "Bakso Alex". Which is franchised throughout Solo. All of the restaurants are always packed with people, so I decided to give it a go. We went there around 14.30 today. If you happen to be in Solo and decided to give this a try, just look out for this banner: (I'll give a few of the restaurants' address at the end)

Cheap Online Indonesia Travel

One of the good things that comes from living in Indonesia is that there are a lot of cities and countries nearby that I can explore.. like, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam and more! I've asked around countless times and realised that travel agents are so much more expensive than their online counterparts. Here are some of my favourite online travel that are not only cheap but very simple to use!

Pets in Indonesia

So you want to have a cat, a dog, a mouse, a rabbit.. or even a snake ? and you are in Indonesia.. what to do..?

Where to buy?: It's really not that hard to get a pet in Indonesia. Like, really. Compared to what I used to experience with registration, micro-chipping, desexing and all in Aussie, here in Indonesia, you don't need to do all that. You can find animals for sale in petshops across the cities, flyers in pet salons or else, or  even by word of mouth. There is NO such thing as pet registrations or micro chipping here. Desexing is also not mandatory. There are no requirements here regarding to pets. Hair salons and vaccinations are at a pretty decent price.

Indonesian Tips and Tax

For those of you who are used to living in a tip-free country, like me.. you'll be surprised when you arrived in Indonesia. I have lived in Surabaya, Jakarta, Bali and now, Solo.. everywhere you go in Indonesia, the tipping rules are the same. Let's write down a few that are most common.
