Safely Arrived Back in Seoul

Oh, there you are! June 24, 2015. 

Finally arrived back in Seoul after 12-day Visit to Indonesia on a Road Trip.

Oh...I was not fasting that day...^^ 

I thought I could..but..as it turned out..I was so tired...and exhausted...

and...well...I needed to take some rest. 

It took me another 2 hours to get me from Incheon to Nowon. gee....

Oh, hello there my bags....nice to see you again.ㅋㅋㅋ 

berhasil juga ya...kuat juga ....akhirnya kumasukin lima puluh kiloan lebih....membawa banyak oleh-oleh.  

cunningly...smiling. 

taking a rest along the way on board Limousine Bus....to get me to Seoul.

**-----------------**---------------------** 

Long story short...Alhamdulillah...finally I met my daughters again...after almost 2-weeks! 

and....we enjoyed our dinner at Bapuri...ㅋㅋㅋ 단골식당이죠.

*Happy to see you again, kiddos.*

Inline Skating @ Incheon Airport

The newly opened inline skate ring @ Incheon Airport. 

With an entrance fee as much as 3,000 Won for kid..and upon the request of Eyra and Freya...we sent them into the ring for 1 hour..and more.

It turned out that Freya got the hang of it quite quickly..for being the first timer.!!!

As for her sister, Eyra got her ice skating lessons at school...so she's really into this inline skating, too.

Judging from her looks, she did enjoy her time. 

oh,well..at least they got a great time...hanging out at the airport. 

I loved watching them play the inline skate together...hand in hand. 

At times...while Eyra was showing off....Freya, well, fell off.^^

But..most of the time..they really got the fun and groove together. 

1 hour and a-half..they're playing inline skating...so much that they're hungry...^^

so we dined at a restaurant nearby. Indeed, we sort of forgot that we spent almost half day at the airport.

And...still...enjoying our time.. 

but..it't time to go home.

We went to the airport to see our friends off...and then..made the best use of our time there, too.

Seeing Off Om Wawan & Tante Ulfa...

We arrived earlier so that we made sure that we'd be able to meet them.

We didn't tell them that we'd come to the airport...^^ 

Jakarta-bound Asiana Airlines was scheduled at 4.55 pm..so we had ample time to meet .... 

Om Wawan and Mbak Ulfa have been our close friends, neighbors, and even families... 

As for me, I came to Korea together with Om Wawan...back in 2011. That's why we've been close..very much close... 

and after mbak Ulfa came along, our wives got along well and we lived our lives in Korea together.. 

Doing practically..lots of stuffs together...^^. 

That's why..it's like a must-do task, not that..should-do one...that I, along with my family, went to Incheon airport to see them off personally. 

Group picture, please. Have a great flight, om and tante. 

Till we see again...in Indonesia or anywhere.

Freya and Eyra have surely been close and got along well with om Wawan. Undoubtedly. 

and these two ladies...^^ they've been sharing lots of memorable moments in Korea.. 

That's why...it's been such a bless to have known them and being close with them. 

Bye-bye Om Wawan...Tante Ulfa...

Keep in touch.

Wassalammu'alaikum.^^

Winter's Tale ^^

We still had some reminiscences of what we did over our winter's vacation. One of them is how those two little daughters of mine insisted that they had their own trolley to bring along all the way through the concourses leading up to the Gate. 

And..the fact that they loved this winter vacation is something we treasured the most. 

"and...what do you think you're doing? and...

wait..where did you leave the other trolley, kids?"

Enjoying Craft Experience?

Yep..and that's what practically they're doing. It's officially 'the Year of the Horse' and what could entice travelers waiting for their flights to sit down and enjoy some cultural insight offered right here in Korea's Incheon Airport? 

Well...since it's (once again) Year of the Horse....they provided travelers like us a chance to experience 'Horse-related' craft-making. 

This time (around), Eyra and Freya chose the 'Color the Horse, please!' experience.

Picture of a seemingly (not-colored) horse printed on a wooden block was the object of "color-it-as-you-like" experience that lasted for about 40 minutes.

It turned out to be quite an inviting experience for foreigners who happened to be bumping into this section dedicated for foreign travelers (only). 

Well, of course, we wouldn't miss this great opportunity. After all...we were not in a rush to catch the plane--so to speak.

*Rate: I got to give it 10 out of 10 for Incheon Airport for providing travelers with this kind of activities.
