Strolling Along My Campus @ Jogja

But..first, I got to meet Coen, my brother-in-law's sister along with her children. She handed me three pairs of trousers that my wife ordered from her. *phew..what a trade.^^ I mean...Jogja-Seoul trade with direct sales like this..ㅋㅋ 

The next stop was ...to meet Loeloe at her office.

We're like...kids on the loose. 

Center for Asia Pacific Studies is where she's currently working. It's a small, yet nice building at Bulaksumur area inside the campus complex. 

Then..my next stop...was to greet mbak Santi at Center for Korean Studies...and this is the very road...hmm alley? where the Center is. I love the neighborhood. 

It's so calm and shady. 

The next stop....my college of Humanities... 

After meeting some people along the way, I was walking straight up to... 

the main road leading to the Main Building of our university. 

Yup..that's where I was going to since I got a meeting at 1 pm there. 

But..let's take a rest here first..on the first floor of south wing of the building where canopies and free wifi were available for anyone.

Got into the international office ...had some meetings...* done. ok..that's one of the pics I took. 

Meeting done! Another stroll into the stairs leading me up to the 3rd floor where I could see the open field in front of the main hall. 

or...well, like this. It's an old building designed by Mr. Soekarno..the first president of Indonesia. 

But...I love the simple yet strong characteristics of this building.

Accompanying UGM Delegation to Gyeongsangbuk-Do

First, meeting with foreign affair officers. 

an exchange of souvenirs. 

I was just plunging myself into the whole session each day..from day one. 

taking pictures ...I could do..at least. 

yes.there were 7 delegation from our university (Gadjah Mada University) who happened to be visiting Daegu. 

Luncheon done. 

then..off we went to Yeungnam University where we met the president of the university.

another token of friendship being delivered.

Meeting One of My Former Academic Advisors Back in College

Whenever I had a chance of coming back home to Jogja, one of the must-do things is meeting my friends, colleagues, and of course my lecturers back in those days when I was still at Gadjah Mada University.

This time, I met one of my favorite teachers, Ms. Ni Gusti Ayu Roselani. Yep, judging from her name, she is a Balinese. She never fails to amaze and surprise me in so many ways. Okay, not boast, but...ms. Roselani happens to be a vivid lover of Korean dramas:-) hahaha...how cool is that, eh?

and even the Muslim wear that she's wearing (in the picture) is her own rendition of Hanbok-inspired Muslim wear. (too bad the picture does not capture the whole lower part of what hanbok may have looked liked, otherwise...one would easily say that it IS hanbok:)

Ms. Roselani, till we meet again....in Seoul, perhaps? Insyaallah.

...yes..and that's the plan.
