Pedro’s South of the Border

I challenge anyone to find a more quirky town than one which allows its school children a day off each year to partake in ‘Skipping day’; or celebrates Boxing Day by watching its youth trying to knock each other off homemade rafts in the freezing harbour with bags of …

Wild Cat Mountain State Park
This is an interesting part of Wisconsin’s Countryside. It seems to be a portion plopped in the middle of Wisconsin’s farming community. It is altogether different than the rest of the countryside. The local county roads twist back and forth around I don’t know how many miles …

What to do in San Francisco ?
There are many things to see and do in San Francisco. My favourites were:
1. Taking the trolley bus (or cable car) from downtown to Fisherman’s Wharf - it’s exciting (and sometimes a little nerve-racking) to hurtle up and down the steep streets in an open trolley bus, especially if …

Day Trips with The Biking Dutchman, Quito, Ecuador
Quite simply, for me, the prospect of biking around Ecuador is intimidating. The roads here are steep and crowded with traffic. The terrain that can be covered, Cotopaxi, Otavalo, and Pichincha Volcanoes, have elements that I wouldn’t be comfortable covering by myself. I have met those …
Liberty Science Museum
The Liberty Sciene Museum opened recently after being closed for renovations. Where are the renovations? While its true things are different than before it was closed it is still a disappointment. The fact that it is a disappointment is also a disappointment. This should be …

I definitely love visiting The Grand Palace when I was in Bangkok before. This building simply amazes me with how the architectural structure was being built somewhere between 1782 to the late 19th century.
I was taken aback by this palace’s huge compound. It also includes Wat Phra …
Canada in Winter
It is cold. Very very cold. If you don’t like cold, don’t come to Canada in the winter. It is a very, very cold place.
On the other hand, it is very pretty. With the snow and the trees and the skies can be just gorgeous. …

Oasis Marine Tunisia

I took my nephew and nieces, ages 1l years old, 5 years old, and 10 months old, to the Kohl Children’s Museum. They all had a blast!

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks

Galeri Alon
As an indonesian, it’s common to see parents are taking their children abroad during long school holidays, often very far away, e.g to see Petronas, Disneyland, or even Eiffel tower. They are more familiar with such places than local ones, such as Jogja, Bali, or Lake Toba.
From my visit …
