When We Are Home

It is still quite sometimes before we are home, but to plan what we will do later is part of the fun. Or, well, maybe it's just me who think it is... But, after doing some part of our Euro trip, it turns out that I really want to explore my own country, not for what I call "business trip" but for the sake of the journeys itself. It's shameful to know that I've been to most of my country's provinces, but still I don't know it well. So, yes, adventures awaits!

Then these are the things that we want to do when we are finally home, maybe in the next 10 months:

- Climbing the mountain

This is the kind of activity that I have never done before. I am not that brave when it comes to adrenaline. My favourite amusement in Dunia Fantasi is Istana Boneka, which is quite embarasing since I am that afraid to take a ride on roller coaster. When all of my friends are very excited to try any dreadful things in the amusement park, I am content enough just to sit, wait for them and read any books I have in my bag. 

Thus, for me climbing the mountain is very challenging, though I know it's just like an usual afternoon walk for some people. But for me personally, it's like saying to your self that comfort zone is not a good place to grow, yet to get out from that comfort zone is indeed not comfortable. I've even heard that climbing the mountain is like a fight with your own self, whether you will persevere and finish your journey or just be satisfied with whatever result you get.

But still, no matter how challenging it is, life is too short to be spent in such a boring way^^ I have decided then.

- Getting diving license

This is my friend's idea. He thought that we were just too old to climb the mountain, then suggest this adventure. He said that height is somehow too mainstream recently, and suggested depth as an alternative. Well, actually he also mentioned sharks and other scary things about the sea that sounded too much for me. I can't swim and the idea of diving itself is challenging enough, let alone all the sharks and their friends.

And btw, since my friend wants his name to be mentioned here (in the hope that it will appear if someone search his name in Google >.<), I dont think that's a good idea, so I will only mention his initial which is MTA. Well he thinks he is cute and kind, but well, if you want to know the truth, there's nothing better than knowing him in person. The good news is... he just got back on Facebook, so you can just drop me a message if you're interested :p

- Doing island hop.

We have more than 17.000 island and we're still trapped in all those 5 biggest ones. I know it's almost impossible to visit all the islands considering poor infrastructures. But, even, one of the most popular one, an island that has been on my travel agenda for years, is still waiting... It is Belitong, and it will be our first destination. Thinking about its blue beach, white sand and the sun, I'm just as exciting as when I think about Provence and its sun flower field^^

Three are not too many right? Let cross our finger and hope that life is kind enough to let us continue our journey in the place near to our heart, the place we call it home.
