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.

Located inside the Jawa Timur Park 2 in Batu, Malang, East Java. They have a huge collection of animal from around the world presented in a very Eco-friendly setting, clean, and those animals are healthy and well taken care. This zoo is awesome, highly recommended.

Ticket cost IDR 100,000,- (Friday to Sunday) and IDR 70.000,- for an adult to visit a zoo, theme park and a museum.  It is cheap considering the high maintenance cost that need in order to keep it those way.

When it's dry you can actually hear the sound of the sands being blow by the winds, the gusts pick up the sand and it causes a swooshing, whispering sound, thus Pasir Berbisik.

This is one of the shoot locations for the movie Pasir Berbisik (Dian Sastrowardoyo) and Eat, Pray, Love (Julia Roberts meditated here for a few days).
