Getting my Hands on Film Camera

In attempts to slow_myself_down_away_from_digital_life, I am getting my hands on film camera. Yes, the kind of camera where you need to put the film roll in and then start snapping. If you are lucky, the pictures will turn up good but if not then we let the fate decide. This is not my first rodeo on using film camera, but it definitely the first ever to buy the film and develop it using my own money. It is not cheap, which I know.  What can I say, it's an expensive hobby.  I used my first film roll to take photos of my favorite people. So it has more human than random pictures. It was on family event. After the last shot, I wanted to develop it before I flew to Bali but they had no lab. Luckily we have the lab in Bali. I developed and scanned the film in Ojisanfilmlab Bali. They're just a google away. They sell the roll as well. I had to tell the TSA to do the hand checking rather putting it through the scanner. They understood.  Cimol hides himself in his favorite spot ...

Korean Barbeque

Ssam
Ssam (쌈) also meaning wrapped. Typically Korean wrapped stuff to eat.

I remember I post about my experience of eating kimchi for the first time got the highest view of all time here. It's kind of weird but it is.

H never wanted to eat K-foods. He said that it doesn't look so appealing (how can he said that? 😣). I kept trying to lure him to try out K-foods. That when he wanted to eat some meat and then we chose a Korean bbq restaurant. He surprised that it came with so many side dishes and more importantly is the way they eat the meat with green leaf, mixed with kimchi and ssamjang. 

Set of Korean BBQ
Boy, look at the odeng and other side dishes! Ssamjang is the one next to the garlic. It's kind of similar to sambal but different. Japchae is the one that looks like bihun goreng.

The first day we ordered galbi and japchae. I really like japchae but it was very big for one person. We thought that the barbeque set will be less big for two, but it didn't. It was just enough for both of us. So, unfortunately, we ate only half of the japchae. But that japchae taste, remind me of my Korean teacher, 고선미 when she made it for us back then. I miss her.

Korean BBQ set
BBQ set with bulgogi thin sliced meat.

Another day we ordered bulgogi meat because it is thinly sliced and perfect for the combination to make ssam. We fell in love with bulgogi meat for the barbeque. It has a sweet flavor of bulgogi sauce, mixed it with sour kimchi and spicy garlicky ssamjang. It pops out as a fantastic taste in the mouth. Especially when we got a different set of side dishes every time we go there. 

Ssam
Meat, garlic, kimchi, ssamjang, wrapped in one big leaf.

Side dishes
These side dishes are not my favorite but still tasty.

Seaweed soup in one BBQ set. I can say this restaurant is serving you an authentic set of foods you order.

Turns out, he loves it more than I do. So as expected, we went there 3 times in a row for Korean barbeque. It was the last day of staying in Dubai and the last soup was seaweed soup. As many people know the meaning of seaweed soup for Korean is a special soup for birthday. He got it two days before his birthday. And oh! We got a 20% discount on our third time there. No idea why.

Restaurant name: Shogun Restaurant (Korean, Thai, Japanese foods). 

Loc: 3rd Floor, Al-Ghurair Center Tower #2 - Al Rigga Rd - Dubai.

Taking a Train from Moscow City to Yaroslavky

walking to the wagon We chose deliberately in the winter to travel from Moscow to Yaroslavsky. In my defense, we kinda had to use the holiday a little bit. If we're waiting for the good weather, it probably not gonna happen for 3 months and then nothing again. So this trip was taken on February 2026. So we've decided to take a few days off going from Moscow to half of the golden ring. The name ring, means literally ring. Refers to a few cities that used to be very important in the past. Starting from Moscow city (where which we're coming from, technically). I have to mention the cities here anyway; Sergiyev Posad, Pereslavl Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Vladimir, and Suzdal. there will be info about the train  We took the train trip from Moscow. I would say it's the "normal type" of train. So we sat next to each other. Two seaters next to each other. I think my husband took the non-economy one. He booked the train from the app, tutu. T...

Rough Guide to Bali

Penjor "Hey I am coming to Bali, can you recommend me things to do?" I got that question a lot. I get it, I live in Bali so people would think that I master everything about Bali. Well... 50:50. I happened to travel around Bali since 2017. So it wasn't wrong to assume me knowing Bali. But I am also a lazy traveler so I don't always do many things in one place.  That is why we will call this a rough guide to Bali.  First thing first, define your style of traveling. Because we all know that Bali is an island. Not a city. So it is quite big, you know. You can not explore all of it in two weeks. Well you might be able to do so, but probably not immersing enough of it.  So... what is your style of traveling? Bali offers you some cultures, quiet normal life, party hotspots, quiet beaches, busy beaches, temples, and so on.  Mt Batur West part of Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta) If you enjoy partying, you might want to spend your time more in the west part of Bali like Canggu, ...
