IKEA (Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd) is finally open its first outlet in Indonesia at Alam Sutera, Serpong Tangerang. I visited IKEA on Sunday, the 5th day of its opening and the crowds were insanely massive. The spacious parking lot that could accommodate more than 1,200 cars still not enough, lots of car parked at Alam Sutera Mall or along the way of Alam Sutera toll road exit /entrance.

Nami Island is a must visit attraction when you visit South Korea, it's a great place for photography. This small island is famous for ‘Winter Sonata’ serial.

Nami Island / Namiseom / Naminara, which has its own national flag, anthem, passport, postage stamps, telephone cards, written characters, papers, and currency. Yet  we do not need a passport to get to the island, just pay KRW 8.000 for visa entry (admission fee) then take 5 minutes ferry rides to the island. The ferry depart every 10 – 20 minutes.

The UNICEF train runs between the entrance of the island to the central station in the main square (KRW 2000 per ride).

You can see many Korean couple holding hands around *super envy*

Seongsan Ilchulbong located on the eastern end of Jeju Island (± 2 hours from Jeju City by bus), one of UNESCO World Natural Heritage Monument. 

We took several breaks in between before we managed to reach the top. As you look down over the cliff, a magnificent scene will greet you.

Make sure you come here in the morning so that the sun's heat is not that rough yet.
