penang: waka waka
Posted by leonardus on July 10, 2010
With no matches broadcasted to any TV channels in my room, there is no way but to spend my late hours in the bar located right on the hotel lobby. It was supposed to be nights with crowds of soccer fans shouting for goals in midst of deafening vuvuzela’s bang; but yet it turned out to […]
kunshan: ao zhao mian
Posted by leonardus on May 15, 2010
The city of Kunshan is just another sattelite city outside Shanghai which is dominated by many Taiwanese companies. Well-known for its nickname as “Little Taipei”, few may know that this is where Apple Inc. produces all of its iPod Touch. The presence of Foxconn in Kunshan simply signifies its great contribution to global demand of Apple’s brands. Surrounded by […]
basel: lost

It was early morning at about 1am when the ICE train was welcoming the passengers to Switzerland … and I woke up immediately to join herds of passengers who get down from the carriage.

frankfurt: when the sky went silent
Posted by leonardus on April 18, 2010
Time after time, my works will bring me back to this city again with loads of targets to achieve. Everything goes as normal until suddenly, the sky turned off its space and gave a very strange atmosphere to one of the busiest airport in Europe. With thousands of passengers are still stranded on its terminal, only God knows when its kitchen […]
jakarta: a different life
Posted by leonardus on January 30, 2010
Hosting about 8 millions of residents, some of whom are staying in a cardboard-made tent under the bridge, Jakarta holds its status as a life-changer city mainly to those who are living in the under-developed outer islands. Life has many layers in this city, just like those roads that have many intertwined “jalan tikus”. For […]
miskolc: on the edge of hungary
Posted by leonardus on September 17, 2009
It was planned to be in Prague before the meeting location was shifted to a never-heard-before city in the east of Hungary, a city called Miskolc. This is my first time to Eastern Europe and completely a mind opening. Many old building from the Soviet era still stand still while the vintage cars like the […]
batam: gong gong specialty
Posted by leonardus on August 30, 2009
It may end up as another boring weekend before I decided to go south by crossing the straits to the island of Batam. It doesn’t take me long to think what the best this island can offer: seafood. And the closest point from downtown Nagoya is a restaurant, convincingly called The Golden Prawn. Get any […]
