I saw London in 4 Nights!

Hello Everyone!

Long time no post! Hehee~ 

I'm going to tell you about my holiday!

I wanted to write this since I'm back from London, but didn't get the time.

Hope I still can tell everything in a chronological way.

Let's begin!

DAY 1:

I went from Switzerland to London at 8th of July 2014 morning with Swiss Air.

Arrive in London City Airport. 

We (I went with my mum) had two travel cards for zone 1 and 2. With those cards you can use tube and bus so much you want for one week in zone 1 and 2. Because the airport was in zone 3, we bought ticket at the station (next to airport exit) to Canning town (first station in zone 2).

(Tube tickets and  a free London Planner)

There we change the tube line, from DRL to Jubilee line. From Canning town to Baker street, where we change the line again. We took the brown line, Bakerloo line. Around the 3rd station was our destination, Paddington. Paddington is where our hotel was, Olimpic House hotel. Outside Paddington station we ask someone which direction. The hotel was very close to the tube station (I know this before we went to London,thats why we choose this hotel, and its in the central of London). We walk to the hotel and chek in. 

The day before I already make an apointment with my friend who lives in London. (Last year we weet on a cosplay event in Bali, I tought she was half Japanesse, but actually she's Chinesse-Indonesian). Her name is Sylvia and is 25 year old. I told her to meet in McDonalds in front of Paddington Sation because it's near from my hotel and she said her boyfriend live in the near.

(The view from McDonald's, rained)

We meet them (Sylvia and her boyfriend, Faisal) around 4 pm and walk around in Hydepark (Our hotel was near Hydepark). Faisal explained much about London, we we're glad to meet them. We walk through a bridge, Faisal said the view of sunset and sunrise are beautifull from that bridge, but it is a rare chance (Sylvia never saw sunser nor sunrise there).

(View from the bridge, there were a group of geese)

We went to Serpentine Gallery (Maybe... I forgot, but it was in Hyde park) and Faisal enjoyed the live art by Marina Abramovic. They did strange things, I didn't really join them (Only looking around) but it was really cool (What I get is about silence and humans are art...). Then we walk to the Round Pond in front of Kensington Palace. We saw a grup of guys who're waiting for their ball on the pond's water and trying to get the ball with a stick.

(Can you see the Kensington Palace?) 

(Swan on the round pond)

Then we keep walking till the street, not far away is a big super market. This shop sells many things and health food named Whole Foods Market where Faisal works. We look around in this shop, it was much bigger than super markets in Switzerland, but me and my mum didn't need anything. Then Faisal bought drinks for us. He was very nice and somehow wanted to thank him, but don't know what should I give. Maybe next time when we meet him again, I'll give something. Let's continue! Then we took the bus and went to Natural History Museum, but sadly, it's already closed... We are too late. But It's OK. We can go there the next day or the day next to tomorrow (?) hahahaha!.

(The Natural History Museum)

Next to it, was the Science Museum but again, it's closed. Maybe they fell bad for us, but it's okey, we love to walk. (But then I noticed Sylvia's wearing high heels!).

(Selfie with Sylvia in front of Science Museum)

Then we went with a tube to Buckingham Palace(Around 7 pm). Luckily, the guards were changing. We saw how they walk, but it wasn't they one with red uniforms, but black (Wearing white helmet and looking like the police).

(Buckingham Palace) 

(Street in front the palace, look at the flags!)

(Sylvia show me the Big Ben from here, Can you see it? In the photo... not really, Hahahaa!)

(The guards inside the palace)

(Buckingham Palace from near)

Btw, When we went out of the tube station in Green Park (Where Buckingham Palace is) it started to rain, but not heavy rain.  Then, we (me and my mom) felt tired and don't want to take their time too long. So, we decided to go back to the hotel. We walk through Green Park. Btw, Sylvia and Faisal said (It was when we were in Hyde Park and saw a squirrel) the birds and squirrel are pretty benign and people can feed them with bread or other food.

(Sylvia and Faisal in Green Park)

Then we took the tube and went back to hotel. We took shower and went out for dinner. We went to a Lebanese restaurant. I had something with Lamb and my mom something with chicken. (I really want to tell the prices of food, souvenirs, entry fee, etc. But I really can't remember the prices....).

(My lamb)

Then we went to a pub next to it (Is it really that night? I think so, we almost went to that pub every night... or it was every night, I can't really remember).

(The pub) 

(View from the pub)

DAY 2:

...... Will be continued.... 

Social Media?

We will talking about social media, this is what will we discuss:
Does social media help or hinder people connections?
Are social media make us away from offline friends and connections?
Is it cool to have 500 friends on Facebook? Or is it better to have more meaningful, face to face connections?

I think social media can help people connections. If we can't meet someone face to face, we can use social media for communication. I have a friend in Swiss, she is younger than me and her parents forbidden her to use Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, ect. So we use an online game named Stardoll, its like a social media because we can leave public message, personal message and directly chat. Stardoll is actually for kids, but there is many teens, they don't play the game, they just use it for chatting if they don't have Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Social media is very usefull. But for some people its not good, they will be spacing out and think they don't need friends in real life, they think chatting friends who they never meet is more fun.
But for some people like me, its good. Usually I'm silent dan don't like to speak much, I speak only what usefull or what I need. In social media, I usually write much, if I bored, I write some useless words. But I use social media for communicate with people too. I have many social media, I have Twitter, My space, Instagram, Streamzoo, etc. But I usually use my Twitter account.

I think its not really cool to have 500 friends on Facebook, because we don't know these people in real life. 500 friends on Facebook is usually only for fun. Like me, I'm following over 1000 people in Twitter and have 400 followers, but I dont really know all of them. It's just for fun, maybe its like a competition. In Twitter, I have real friends and I usually chat with them. Sometime its good to have many friends on social media, because if we feel lonely and there is nobody near us, we just can chat with someone on social media.
But its better if we meet someone face to face, its more meaningful, we know with who we speak.

Orange Marmalade

'Orange Marmalade'

is a comic from Korea, made by Seok Woo

Orange Marmalade

is a comic that tells the story of a teenage vampire girl who accidentally sucks neck of a popular guy in her school. Unfortunately this vampire girl named Baek Ma Ri can not suck the blood of the boy because her fangs was blunt. That guy was thinking wrong. Embarrassed, Baek Ma Ri blurred. The next day, Baek Ma Ri met again with that guy. And so begins the story of the love between them. In the comics, there is also an antagonist who makes the conflict in the story more exciting.

This is the story of the life of a teenage vampire who is very attractive. This comic tells the story of love between a vampire with humans. This comic also tells the story of a very strong friendship. By reading this comic, we can learn that what we believe is something bad could be a good thing. Because not all we hear is true. "We can not judge people by what others say, but we have to give people a chance to show themselves". That what I think after reading this amazing comic. 

I like this comic because the story is very exciting and nice. Initially I was curious because this comic is often seen in the 'Manga Here' (A website to read the comics), and then I read it. I do not really like the images in this comic (They are beautifull but I don't really like the character image), I prefer Japanese manga pictures. But the story is very interesting, so I read to the end, there are 71 chapters of this story. But I think, there is still a continuation of chapter 71, but has not been updated. The more I read, the more want to know the rest, so I can not stop to read it. At this comic I've read up to chapter 71, I want more. I can not wait for chapter 72, even in chapter 71 are like finished and a happy end, but I got the information that there is continuity, is it possible there will be more conflict?! The story is really touching and exciting.

For people who love to read comic about a love story, you'll like this comic. Moreover, this is a full color comic.

For those who want to read you can read it at:

Manga Here

or

Webtoon Live

Just click on it!

Here some picture from the comic:

In this scene, They just want walk home together and see this beatiful scenery.

In this scene, the antagonist was challenged by a friend Baek Ma Ri who also a vampire. I think this scene is in chapter 70 or 71. When Baek Ma Ri threatened by antogonis in this comic suddenly his friend come for helping. 

My 5 Year Plan

Hi everyone!
I want to tell you about my plan for the next 5 years.
Probably, in 5 years I will study in Swiss, Germany, Australia or England to be a vet.
But after studying, I wish to work in Bali as a vet.
Since I was a kid, My dream is to be a good vet and help all the animals in Bali, street dogs and cats. I will make a animal shelter and animal clinic. That is my dream, but I must to studying for a long time. But maybe, I just study in Bali, because if I going to study oversea, I'll not going back to Indonesia, maybe I will be a vet there and get more money so I'll don't want back. That's why, I must to remember my dream, be a good vet in BALI and help street animals. I like it here.
Because my hobby is drawing, I'll design clothes, making manga comic and painting as a part time job, Its only a hobby. I'll sell what I create for more money.
