Slowly emerging from the food poisoning abyss, now just strolling around Melbourne like fragile survivors. The weather? Delightfully kind. The vibe? Immaculately chill. We’re basically just two pale ghosts plus M wandering the streets, soaking in the city’s charm and praying our stomachs don’t stage a sequel.

Ah, Melbourne! We’ve arrived — and so has the food poisoning. Both D and I are currently starring in our own gastro-thriller, courtesy of yesterday’s farewell meal. Apparently, Southeast Asia wanted to leave us with something memorable. So here we are: standing in customs lines, puking, and pondering our life choices. Cheers to new beginnings…

Rainy day? Shocker. 🌧️ We embraced the weather like true pros: by doing absolutely nothing strenuous. Coastal stroll, pool time, followed by a leisurely lunch at the local resort restaurant — because if you can’t tan, you can at least eat like you’re on vacation. Later, we’ll board our overnight flight from Bali to Melbourne.

Travel Log: Chaos Edition Woke up to some delightful news: our flight to Australia got bumped from Feb 13 to Feb 14 due to a mysterious “operational necessity.” (Translation: someone sneezed near the scheduling system.) Cue frantic rebooking, and voilà — we snagged a flight for Feb 12. Turns out it’s overnight, so we land

Rain, rain, go away… or at least give us an A! It’s been pouring all day—like, Noah’s Ark levels of commitment. Meanwhile, Daniel and I heroically battled Khan Academy’s unit tests (cue dramatic music) in physics (oh, the thrill!) and world history (plot twist: we’re not great at it). A tragic 77% passing rate in

Set out to explore the area we live in (Seminyak), got caught in a heavy rain —classic rainy season in Bali. Our beach, Seminyak, had “no swimming” signs up, which, to be fair, was a bit annoying even though Bali isn’t exactly brimming with family-friendly beaches (contrary to popular belief). Lunch became a DIY project

Last Day in Jakarta: Chill mode activated, so we took it reeeeal slow. First stop: the nearby sports complex, where we had grand visions of gliding across a skating rink like pros… except, plot twist—it was under renovation. Dreams: shattered. Skates: unused. Spirits: mildly bruised. Plan B? Senayan Park Mall, where sushi and free ice

Today’s adventure took us to the National Museum of Indonesia, a place filled with history, artifacts, and… a rather freestyle approach to curation. With no clear path to follow, we embraced the art of wandering, letting history find us. The highlight? Nandi, the chillest bull statue around. In Sanskrit, Nandi means “happiness,” and honestly, this

Day 1 of Jakarta exploration—let’s gooo! First mission: marching (okay, walking) to Monas (Monumen Nasional), the city’s giant golden torch at Merdeka Square. Because nothing says “tourist mode activated” like heading straight for the tallest landmark in town. En route, we met some serious statue squad goals: General Sudirman, striking a power pose as if
