Every person has their own favourite place, including me. Unfortunately in my case, there are too many favourite places in this world, since those places heal me physically and mentally. But, from all of these, the only place that heals me the most is the world beyond the clouds. I was on my childhood when I sailed through that world with my family on a airplane. Back then, we had a short vacation in Yogyakarta. It was the first time for me and to be honest, I could not remember what was I thinking of being up there. Hopefully, I do not hear from my parents that I was bawling back then-_-. But, as the ages go along, my love for that world grew stronger and stronger. I can see the sceneries down there that look the same as when I see the building miniature stands in hotels/malls. People in their microscopic size. And the most favourite part, ' a heaven'―as being described by most people―after you enter through the clouds. The most grandious kingdom I have never seen bef...

Train

One of the most favourite transportation for Indonesians―including me. Moving quite fast and always arrives/departs in time like trains in Japan, so they do not have to stuck in some traffic jams on busy streets and/or worry about getting late in their school, university, office, or other places. Aside of those, we do not have to bring a lot of money for the fare trip since the fare is very affordable (around IDR 3000 or 23 cents for 1-25 kilometres). I was thirteen when I got a first chance to take this transportation with my family into Kota Tua site in Jakarta―around the midst of 2013. Because most Indonesians did not know its whereabout that time, so inside the train is very quiet. It was quite a long trip, that I could listen my own playlist on MP3 player. And when I was getting tired of listening music, I could see some views that I had never seen before, or should I say "The Real Picture of Poverty Society in Jakarta". Indecent houses, unemployments, children...

Introduction

Hello, guys! Since this is my first post here, let me introduce myself. My name is Shane Tommo (pen name) and I'm 100% Indonesian―though I have Chinese blood in my veins. I actually live in Tangerang, Jakarta's "neighbour", but due to my education in Padjadjaran University I had to move into Jatinangor, Sumedang Regency, West Java, for temporarily four years. And if I get a homesick, I will obviously return to my hometown―luckily I am not an acute sufferer :D. I enrolled in Padjadjaran University last year―August 2017―especially that I am a student of Japanese Literature, Faculty of Cultural Sciences. Though I really wanted to enter Communication Science in University of Indonesia due to my dream of being a journalist, God made a different choice for me and I was pretty upset that time for about a month before the university's orientation days started >:"[. But, the good thing is that I can still continue my Japanese studies due to my dream to conti...
