Perpustakaan (atau kantin ya?) favorit di Seoul

Image
Jadi belakangan ini ada tempat-tempat yang jadi favorit gw banget kalo ke Seoul. Awalnya sih karena pas gw dateng ke sana di musim panas, jadi mau jalan-jalan keluar tuh capek juga kalo outdoor terus. Jadi pengennya ngadem aja dan jalan-jalan kalo udah adem. Solusinya adalah gw ke perpustakaan seharian baca buku dan nongkrong sambil nunggu matahari tenggelam.  😙 Awalnya gw emang cuma sekedar tour keliling Seoul cari perpustakaan yang menarik dan nyaman, tapi gw menemukan better deal lagi yaitu kantinnya! Jadi biasanya perpustakaan umum di Korea itu akan gabung sama community center jadi pastinya ada banyak banget fasilitas umum warga disitu, salah satunya adalah kantin yang murah meriah! Makanan di restoran di Seoul biasanya udah menyentuh harga 10.000 won per meal, tapi kalo gw ke kantin ini bisa makan lengkap dengan harga mulai dari 5500-6500 won aja. Wow gak tuh.

I can't differentiate that headache from covid headache. Don't ask me about headaches, please. He shows us the room. The room was pretty okay. But for a perfect stay, it needs some work. So we cleaned what we can. Toss the smelly pillow into a smelly cupboard and forget those things for the next 10 days. Put our clean linen. Make arra...

How to get a new phone without buying

What's up, blog. It's me again, always, and forever me.  This year, as I mentioned before, is my no-buy year. Means I can't buy unnecessary things that are outside my allowed-to-buy list (which just cover essentials basically). But you know, as a human being in this modern world that is exposed to thousands of marketing every day, I got so many temptations along the way.  For example. Recently just for fun, I plan my dream trips. So I researched all the places I want to visit, the transportation, food I want to eat even the accommodation, and many more. It helps me a lot in giving consolation in the mid of uncertainty of when we can travel around comfortably again. I explored google maps, look at the street view of my destination, and plan the things I want to do.  Then it comes down to think about what should I pack for that dream trip. So I list what I want to bring, and then of course go into a hole of wanting-to-buy-something-for-the-trip-so-my-trip-feels-better. I lo...
