*Oh Hi!
I'm so glad you're looking here. As you probably know this is where a self introductory is and people will say nice stuff about themselves and the blog entries you see on the left.. Well i'm a little uncomfortable with that....it feels like i'm trying to sell myself and entice you to read on and at its best persuasion.... follow them on day by day basis... Nah..i'm way too humble for this.. If you like.... welcome and read on... If you don't...see the "x" at the right hand corner of the window? Click on that!

Indonesia - Aceh, Meulabohthis is my first time to indonesia but its not to some big cities (even though i transited at Medan)... my destination is Aceh, Meulaboh, the place that appeared on the news 5 years ago when the Tsunami struck. It was a short trip, just 3 days 2 nights but maybe it was due to the fact that it was too short and the place brought about so much feelings in me..... i was kinda suffering from "culture shock"...not when i was there...but when i was about to board the plane back home... i dun know how to define how i was feeling then....so i termed it as culture shock for now.....there was this fear.... this insecurity.... this realization..... its so mixed up that i gave up trying to define it.....
Meulaboh is a beautiful place..... the sky is so blue and it felt like if i stretch my hands long enuff, i can touch it..... the trees are so green that it formed a scenic picture against the blue blue sky.... there were animals roaming around...... people walk slowly.....food was simple..... everything just matches...and i cant help to feel that i was standing out, with my bright color clothes...my loud voice, my dyes hair, my quick steps........ its is not city vs countryside... it is man made vs natural....This is definitely not a typical tourist spot... but i'm glad i came and saw what i saw....
*went to the tsunami site "ground zero", the wave was huge..... i cant imagine how huge and high it was when the tsunami struck. it was just a sad and helpless feeling when i was there trying to visualize what the villagers saw.
