Duty Free, Baby!

"Why Do Men Have Nipples? Things You'd Only Ask A Doctor After Your Third Gin 'N' Tonic" by Mark Leyner & Billy Goldberg MD, 194 pages, costs me IDR 70,000 or US$ 7 or £5. (Normal Price £6.99)
The best place to shop til you drop with the cheapest price is the airport. Thanks to duty free!
In my last holiday, I bought two books and two magazines which under any other circumstances I’d never bought because they’re so expensive.
Cheers for them who invented duty free at the airports, you guys rawk!


"The Decision" by Penny Vincenzi, 877 pages, only costs me IDR 82,000 or US$ 8.2 or £6. (Normal Price US$ 20)


PEOPLE MAGAZINE, costs me IDR 80,000 or US$ 8 or £5.7. (Normal price: US$ 11.99)

OK! Magazine, costs me IDR 30,000 or US$ 3. (Normal price: US$ 5)

Happy Holidays!

 I’m spending my Christmas break in Jogjakarta, visiting my sister and her little family. Well, to be pretty honest I don’t really enjoy flying of total 3 hours from Makassar to Jogja, but since I hadn’t seen my newly born baby nephew, I fought my acrophobia and claustrophobia anyway.

I’ve been here for 7 days now and I’m going home tomorrow morning with a 2-hours layover in Jakarta, so I’ll be arriving in Makassar at about 5 PM local time.
I’ve been spending this break helping out my sister and her hubby run their business, which is fun (I’m not being sarcastic, it’s truly fun). Also, working on some papers that my professors decided to gave those damn last minute assignments. “You guys need to freshen up your mind during holiday that’s why we give y’all a little bit of assignments.” That’s what almost all of the professors said when my classmates and I were complaining.

Anyway, my sister and I went to along Malioboro Street two nights ago, we did a wee bit of shopping and sightseeing, not to mention taking metric tons of pictures hhehe. So, here are some of the pictures taken 2 days ago.

In the mean time, Happy Holidays ;)

Airlines & Airports



You know what they say, what you give is what you got. 
Cheap airlines = wee bit of space between your legs and the front seat.
Here's pretty much of my voyage from Makassar to Jogjakarta with a layover in Jakarta.

The boarding room - Hasanuddin International Airport of Makassar

The boarding lobby - Hasanuddin International Airport of Makassar


Adisucipto International Airport of Jogjakarta

Can you see the difference between these two airports? Yeah, I enjoy spending time in Makassar's Airport because it's so modern, clean, and cozy.
