The ASEAN Blogfest 2013 in Solo, Jakarta

For someone who has never been to Indonesia in my entire life, I was suddenly  in Bali twice in a month in March 2013, the first trip for Sheraton Kuta & Le Meridien Jimbaran resort review and recently Club Med Bali.
But that’s only one island. I have yet to visit Jakarta or any other areas of the main Indonesia country!

God willing, I’ll be stepping foot on Indonesia soil again this coming May, not just to explore Solo (formal name Surakarta) but also to be a part of the grand ASEAN Blogfest 2013 that will be held starting on 10th May onwards.

…but yet it still couldn’t outshine myburgerlab’s beef patties. I’m now convinced that myburgerlab has some “voodoo” practice going on that kept its beef patties at the very top of the list of great beef burgers in Klang Valley!  😀

Shanghai with Air Asia X – Yuyuan Garden, Chenghuangmiao Market, Zhujiajiao ancient water town

On our 3rd day in Shanghai, our itinerary were a bit more cultural compared to the day before.
We rose to explore the gardens of government officer of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) named Pan Yunduan. According to our guide, this officer was high in ranks, and retired wealthy.
