Where is Home?

I'm feeling a bit confused today and I'm beginning to wonder where exactly I belong.

It all started with a really simple question that's been floating around the school for the past week.

"Whatcha gonna do for the holidays?"

Question that usually follows with, "Are you going home?"

And oddly enough, my brain automatically assumes that my friends were asking if I was going back to the States.

Indonesia...is just not there anymore.

I was truly crushed when I realised this. I could never be an American. But now I'm not sure if I'm Indonesian either...

Peyote in My Tiramisu

This is not the effect of the Blue Man Group, but I do have to say that they are truly awesome, even though not quite environmentally friendly.

I'm blaming it on Stefano's tiramisu.

The 18th Birthday

So November 2nd is a big day for our own Mike Bowerman. And to celebrate, we had an impromptu itinerary, starting with a nice little Indian meal at La Kahore and a posh and chill nightcap at the Absolut Ice Bar.

La Kahore was totally understated with plain walls and cracked floorings. I actually felt like I was in a really-really bad student dining hall. The meal itself was actually quite nice (that is until we discovered this little newspaper clipping about a certain restaurant being charged with uh...mice infestation? I wonder what kind of kebab we got the other day...)







Look, Stefano and I actually look like we're friends here...

Since we got about an hour and a half till the ice bar, we visited this cute little place called Lounge Lovers, totally random with hippo and boar heads decorating the walls. Kind of fru-fru in a way. Even the drinks have names like Chocolate Mistress and Flower Power or some crap like that. I settled for a regular mojito. Sudha, of course had to get some weird ass shit that tasted totally like gasoline.



I didn't actually get to the icebar because we missed our timeslot. But part of the group did, so I got some cool pictures. So cute, every one looked like silver angels. But then we got kicked out because they closed and we had to move to the club nextdoor (Momo, I think?) that played electronic music all. night. long.







I left around 3, but our own Bowerman apparently wondered about till 630am. Good start for a great year!

Beauty of Bath

A couple of my favorite pictures from Bath are attached:





Simply Amazing

People say you learn something new everyday.

Today, I learned that on top of being totally smart, our Dutch Boy Lukas is also an amazing chef. And I mean AMAZING!

Ladies? I don't think he's taken...

Find the Tattoo!

So our school has this huge event every year. Basically it's an awesome version of LC's international fair, with semi-naked women and booze. What could be more fun than that, right?

Steph and I ate so much. And I mean SO MUCH, it was so painful. We ate food from 20 different countries, at least. And then there were sangrias, unlimited amount of beer, some random mojito, and other stuff that I don't even know what.

Then scantily clad women started running around campus with a band of mad Argentinians. It was hilarious! Good times!


Fluffy Bunnies

This event actually occured three weeks ago, but my lazy ass hasn't had a chance to put a little blurb for it, so here it goes...

Finally met with Steph! Went to the sculpture garden where the Frieze Art Fair was. It actually took us longer to find the damn spot than to look at the sculptures. But it was good fun in all. Cute fluffy bunnies! Woohoo!
