how are you doing?
Hufffttt I haven't posted
anything since thanks giving dinner although I promised that I would post the
story of my Thanksgiving experience but I was really busy with the tests and
all the preparation for the refugee's fundraiser in January which really
menyita waktu LOL.
But now I have some time to write what
I have been up to since last month.
Well let's start with my vacation last
week.
My friend, Juan and I went to San
Francisco, California.
We left on the 17th of December and we
came back on the 24th, we actually spent 7 days in San Francisco.
In San Francisco I stayed at Mbak
Dede's apartment at the Parkmerced Apartment and Juan, stayed in Mbak Dede's
friend's apartment right in front of Mbak Dede's apartment.
We were so lucky because Mbak Dede,
Mbak Nining and Mbak Dina helped us a lot by being our guides for few days
before we decided to go out alone (just in case if we get lost ROFL).
The first day, we met 4 of Indonesian
friends (CCIP participants) who were also traveling to SF. So, 9 of us went to
visit Fisherman's Wharf which is one of the most visited tourist attraction in
San Francisco. We took lot of pictures there. We also saw one big sea lion.
Then after taking lot of pictures there, we decided to go to Downtown and to
the Martin Luther King's Memorial garden where we could see the frame of Martin
Luther King's popular words behind the 50 feet high and 20 feet wide waterfall.
It was really a wonderful place. We spent about 1 hour there just for the
pictures. Then we had to say Good-Bye to our friends (Haeril, Syabith, Sosi,
and Indah) because they had to leave the next 3 hours.

Since Juan and I still want to continue
our tour, because we thought it was too early to go home at 5, I asked mbak
Dede to take us to Indonesian Restaurant. The name of the restaurant is
Borobudur Restaurant. OMG!!! I was sooo happy when I saw their menu list. God!
They have everything there. From Tempe, Gado-Gado, Fried Rice, and Nasi Padang.
I almost jumped because of the menu list. Finally after 6 months live in
Arizona without Indonesian restaurant, I finally ate Gado-Gado, Tempe, and Nasi
Goreng Seafood. As the first time to visit Indonesian Restaurant, Juan looked
confuse with the menu that they have there. I suggested him to eat Gado-Gado
but he said it has shrimp (He doesn't like seafood, especially shrimp LOL). But
finally he chose Nasi Goreng. The price was not really that expensive for me
since I have missed Indonesian food like crazy.

After dinner, we went to visit Union Square.
Sumpah, Union Square was really wonderful with the Christmas tree. Here is one
of the pictures that was taken at the Union Square:

Aren't they wonderfu?
Juan and I actually took
lot of pictures there and we wanted to stay longer but Mbak Dede looked so
tired, so we decided to go back home (Well, Juan and I came back to the Union
Square the next two days lol). We took Muni (the transportation in San Francisco)
for about 55 minutes to Mbak Dede's apartment.
That is the story of our
first day in SF. I will continue with the next story InshAllah
So, see you with another
story of our adventure in San Francisco :)
