Lyon, France - Where to visit?

Image
Part two of my Lyon trip! Basically this will be dedicated to places to go and to check on your trip which include church, museums and other touristic sites! I will only be talking about my recommended ones! 1. Basilique Notre Dame de Fouvière - 8 Place de Fourvière, 69005 Lyon You might think "What's makes this church any different with the other thousands of churches in France?". Answer : style and location. The church has a Romanesque architecture with the most beautiful dark green-gold-blue ish tone mosaic all over the ceiling, walls, floor that creates the most elegant and rich ambiance. Plus it is located on top of the Fourvière hill, which offers the most breath-taking view of the city. 2. Musée Confluences - 86 Quai Perrache, 69002 Lyon This is probably recommended by a lot of people because of the architecture, which for me has a little bit of the Fondation Louis Vuitton vibe going on - btw not saying that it was copying Fondation LV since w...

Spring Break - Lyon, France

Image
Winter's over, Internship's over, SPRING BREAK IS HERE! No complains for now (actually i'm complaining about thesis, but let's pretend I didn't) You heard me right, THESIS a.k.a I'm already on my last semester WHOOOTTTT?! That got me thinking and wondering, how can I live in this country for almost three years now, and have not explore other cities? A huge country of with 643,803 km 2, that offers so much more that the eiffel tower // from the most sunny beachy cities in the South to the chilly, snowy mountains to ski. So yeah, I have decided that I will dedicate my energy, money and time to move my lazy ass away from Paris and go into wild adventure (okay 'wild' is a little too much) Last Fall, I spent sometime in Bourgogne aka Burgundy to visit Dijon and Beaune, then Alsace for my Winter break on which I visited Colmar and Strasbourg and got mesmerized by the beauty of fairytale-looking cities and I must say, they have the 'fleek-est' C...

Halloween - Pregnant Kim Kardashian

Image
Unlike the previous years, this year I decided to stop being lazy and do something for halloween. Let me tell you why. Paris is kinda the least festive place on earth (not really actually) but yeah halloween in the city is pretty much boring.... Nobody dresses up that much compared to other places I guess. And if you're wondering, this also happen in any other holiday seasons like Christmas and New Year. I pulled up the easiest costume I could think of and channelled pregnant Kim Kardashian.... Man It's pretty interesting to be 'pregnant'. I remember walking in the metro with huge belly, with a cup of drink in my hand and people were just staring judgementally... yaassss.

Autumn Diary - Fashion Week and life

Image
September is always been my favourite month. I tell you why ; First, its a birthday month and yes this year I left my teenage life! Second, it is Autumn, which is my favourite season ( I mean seriously, who doesn't love autumn?!?!?) and Third, Fall/Winter 2016 fashion week and this season I got to work with Lanvin!!! Let's begin with the day I became 20... I was just overwhelmed by the amount of love I received that day from friends and family both in Jakarta and Paris. And to have a moment to sink in the amount of blessing and opportunity I have lived for the past 20 years of my life. Man, God is good to me. All the time. I celebrated my birthday with a chill and intimate dinner with my friends in a French restaurant called Le Sâotico and we had the loveliest time there. The people are super friendly, the food are amazingly delicious, lovely space in the upper room, great price and they surprised me by singing happy birthday and gave my dessert a sort of candle torch. The...

Summer Vacation 2015 - Indonesia

Image
So after my Shanghai adventure, I hopped into a 6 hours flight to Jakarta with no sleep after my all-night-long karaoke session and spent the whole summer vacation at home. It was........ weird. I learnt my lesson that being home for more than a month leads to being unproductive, lots of cleaning the house and just basically bored. After moving to other city/place/country,  it just made me realise that being home would never feel the same again. The lifestyle, the people, the mindset, the culture. Everything. But my three months, did not only wasted on contemplating my life, I was, of course having tons of fun with my family and friends, and travel to few places in Indonesia. Man, what a beautiful country, I belonged to. I travelled to some places around East Java, that include Mont Bromo, Ijen Crater, Banyuwangi, Baluran and some places in Bali. It was amazing!!!!!!!! Ijen Crater was the highlight of the trip for me, where we hiked waayyy before the dawn- aka 1 in the mo...
