Jakarta - Day 4 - Prewedding Photos

Models may seem to have an easy job. All you have to do is look pretty for the camera right? After going through a day of prewedding photos, I can say that its quite tiring. The day started at about 7am with makeup and a test photo shoot in the garden at Vita’s parents house.
Afterwards […]

Jakarta - Day 2

We spend most of the day today taking care of errands. First stopping at the bank to take care of the rest of the photographers fee. Then going to a couple stores to see if we could find a new washing machine for Vita’s mom. We didn’t decide on one yet. We went to Carrefour […]

Jakarta - Day 1

I arrived today at Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Getting the Visa and going through immigration was for the most part really easy. One of my bags was one of the last onto the luggage carousel. With 2 arriving flights, alot of people were going through customs, creating quite a jam of people, luggage and carts. All […]

Taipei

The flight from LAX to TPE was pretty uneventful. I did see the in flight entertainment system was running Linux from the segmentation fault screens that happened to a couple of the passengers.
Taipei airport has showers at the transit hotel, which after traveling for 20 some hours, it was refreshing.
For the flightlog:

MSP -> LAX - […]

LAX and Onwards

The flight from MSP to LAX was rough, turbulence almost the entire way. I’m not afraid of flying, but turbulence always makes me nervous.
Right now its about a 6 hour wait until the flight to Taipei, so I guess its time to start exploring.

Part 1 - MSP to LAX

My goal is to this time better document my trip to Indonesia for the few that regularly check my blog. There are few good direct flights between Minneapolis and Jakarta, and also relatively cheap. So my flight will involve 2 airlines and 2 stops. First flight, MSP to LAX, and flying on Northwest Airlines.

Indonesia: Getting There

I haven’t written much in the past few months. Been busy with work, visa applications, and being a bit sick with a case of tonsillitis. In the next couple weeks, I’ll be writing about my experience in Indonesia, and about the country and culture.
The first part will be about traveling to and from Indonesia, the […]

SFO

I’m currently waiting at San Fransisco Airport on my way to Jakarta. Its been awhile since I’ve traveled by plane or even travel for that matter. Something about being a collage student with not much money. But now finally I can start seeing the world. The airport waiting time and all the flights total something […]
