HI GUYS!! i'm really sorry this post is way long overdue. I was in a short trip last week. and this pos is meant to share a little about it, because there's nothing interesting during the weekday. yep, the trip was on weekend (duh)

so, ya ready?

the flight was in the early morning. well, not that early, it's 06.50 flight. it was only 70 minutes then I arrived in Semarang. went to the hotel right away by bus. dropped my belonging then went to have breakfast at Soto Ayam Pak Man and it was really good! after having, headed to Sam Poo Kong. spent good time there, then off to Kampung Pelangi.
