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. Jadi kegiatan gw pas musim panas kemarin bener-bener pagi ke perpus, baca buku, siang makan di kantin, baca buku ...

I read too many books, now what am I

I read too many books lately.  That is a huge problem, cause now I have so many overflowing feels that need to be let out.

But then, I feel like I know myself but I don't consciously know about myself. In my daily life and conversations, I will have a strong opinion, the direction of thinking that suits me based on my life experience, but I never really really think about those thoughts and opinions in more depth that ...

Bullet Train

October... for many reasons, I didn't want it to come! but time is something that I can't control, so it is eventually October already. 2021 feels like a bullet train that pasts really fast, while I feel that I don't move an inch inside of it. Many things happened in 2021 but it didn't seem important, it was just like particles of dust that you see through the sunlight that comes through the window. It was a lot, but it never felt significant, cause we are eager to see what's outside the window. Spending day by day wondering whether the outside world will come back as it was.  I guess it is right what someone said,  "The speed of time is always different. I hope the good things feel like a long time, and sad things for a short time." That is probably why 2021 feels so fast.  Sure a lot of good things happened, but the overall mood is just..yeah...ha..ha..ha My heart suddenly feels heavy while writing this. ha..... I think it's because I spent my days i...
