Let It Snow!

My first snow in Trondheim! Winter has truly arrived and I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible (and hopefully not getting dreaded by it later). Well, since it's going to last for quite a while up here, might as well enjoy every part of it!

Verona

We took a short trip to Verona from Venice to get a break from the city. I was mesmerised by the city. It was really beautiful. We stopped by the bridge on the side of Castelvecchio and enjoyed a bit of the sunset. 

We went inside Castelvecchio, a restoration masterpiece by Carlo Scarpa. The simplicity of his delicate design and material selection is amazing. 

Last but not least, we went to Casa di Giuletta to meet Juliet and had a little experience on trying our luck ; )

Happy Independence Day, Indonesia

The campus orientation week started earlier this week. We had some meetings, games, barbeques, and today is another game called "Trondheim Games". We were given some challenges, questions, checkpoints, in which if we can answer the questions, challenges and find the check points we will get points for our team. It was really fun! But, the highlight of today was meeting with other Indonesian families here in Trondheim and celebrating our Independence Day. We went to Kristiansen Fort and then the famous Gamle Bybro and took family pictures!

Another extra highlight, congratulations for Indonesian Mixed Doubles Badminton in Rio Olympics for giving Indonesia first gold medal in the 2016 olympics just right at our Independence Day! Best gift!

Hello from Trondheim!

Checking in from Trondheim, Norway. I arrived a few days ago, and since then it has been cloudy and rainy and windy. But today (in a late summer) it's sunny all day. Me and my friends decided to stroll around campus and up to a nearby lake. On the walks, tt hits me on how lucky I am to be here. The sceneries are (well, so far) a feast to my eyes. It's really something that I thought I'd only see in books. Hoping for a great journey ahead!
