Ate a lot as always. 근데 where are my food photos..? Lost in a river of photos.
I also started to take all photos with my iPhone. It was good enough, my camera was outdated, I'd lost its lens cover, I didn't want to carry extra valuables with me, so many reasons. It's still a conundrum though. Phone cameras are great, but are they as great as real cameras?
Soon after, like a week after coming back to Seoul, I flew to 제주 where I stayed for almost a week. Probably five days. It was a lot of moving and not moving, eating and not eating, drinking and not drinking.
용눈이오름인가 백약이 오름...???? 둘다 근처에 있는데
Look at thissssss 아 이런 두께 돼지고기라니... 새벽숯불갈비라는 성산 미치기 전의 고깃집임. 고기로 2차!
세화장터쪽에서 바라본 바다. 맥주사러 갔다 오는 길이었당
비오는날 열심히 스쿠터 운전해서 간 풍력발전단지... 진짜 으스스했음. 저 풍력발전기들을 가까이서 보니까 뭔가 돈키호테가 풍차를 만났을때 이랬을까 싶고 가까이 가보니까 그냥 거대한 기둥이고 사람은 없고 비는 계속 오고 말인가 소인가 자꾸 나를 째려보고 혼자 쫄아가지고 그냥 사진 몇장 찍고 김영갑 갤러리로 떠났던...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
이것도 세화장터쪽에서 찍은거.
찬타앤제이 게스트하우스에서 묵었는데, 오래묵어서 그런지 찬타, 제이님과 친해지고 다른 투숙객분들과 이렇게 새참(?) 도 즐기고 진짜 재밌었음. 아니 저 빈대떡 짱맛... 저렇게 오후 내내 술을 마셨다고 한다.ㅋㅋㅋThe three-week trip to Indonesia was super last minute and I ended up (sort of) regretting flying in and out of Jakarta. With a bit of exaggeration, the Jakarta airport is the worst I've ever been to. Actually it's not even an exaggeration. Paris-Beauvais sucks, it's super shitty, but terminals are walkable and I've never had any problem with it. Well, to be frank I was fine with the airport until the very last leg of the trip when the shuttle bus to the terminal did not arrive (when the plane already landed super late) and my checked baggage took twenty minutes to get to the terminal (I had to yell through the curtains at the belts...) which eventually helped me miss my flight to HK. ^^ Thanks.
Anyhow thankfully I took the next CX flight free of charge and arrived in Hong Kong safely, where I would spend three more days until my return to my comfy airconditioned room and bed.
But the experience in Indonesia was great, the freediving made me think a lot. Apparently I have a problem uploading stuff (everything is incomplete on this blog!) so I'm just writing updates like this. I can still do a short overview of trip thingy.
I think this is Borobudur...? It took me so much time to memorize the name of this temple. It's on almost every "visit Indonesia" brochure. The bell-shaped stupas (next photo) are very characteristic of this Buddhist temple.
Another photo of Borobudur. By the way, all of these five? six? photos of Indonesia were taken with the Xiaoyi camera, Xiaomi's new action camera. It's pretty nice considering I only paid like $120 for the device.
Waiting for the sunrise at Bromo at like five in the morning. This tour (three day Bromo and Ijen) was something, in various regards...
Finally the sunrise! I have better photos on my phone.
The next day, at like three in the morning. Gosh all the tours started at like 3:30 or 1:00 in the morning. And then for the Ijen blue flame tour (this photo--which is basically blue flames as a result of sulfur gas) you had to 1. drive 40 minutes (or get driven) 2. hike 1 1/2 hours 3. hike DOWN the crater for an hour 4. hike back up to the top 5. hike down, finished! After all of this it's almost 8, you've been walking for seven hours.
A slight view of the Ijen lake as you hike the crater back up. As you hike back up, the sun (finally) rises and you get a nice view. Sun's all up at the top. One thing is.. oh wait. So I got confused with the other lake all along. Haha. I thought Ijen was the lake that had two pools and in which the colors changed.
So that's about it! I might come back with a Indonesia trip overview post with fewer photos. Looking through all photos and selecting which ones are so difficult. I just end up looking at the photos for hours and not choosing which ones to upload... So. Until then. Bye!
