The most delicious ice cream, Remicone

Ice cream is the most common thing for Summer, while you have a time to visit Seoul in summer you'll find so many multiple street-side vendors that offer you an ice cream, i already tried so many soft ice cream in Seoul. But my best choice is.......REMICONE!!! Waaa...i never tried ice cream as delicious as that. 

Actually i know this place when i watched "The Return of Superman" you guys know that variety? Yes.. you must know the triplets (daehan, minguk, manse) they are sons of actor song il kook. In one of their episode, they visit ice-cream shop and they eat it really deliciously!! So, i did some research to find the location.

This is Remicone vendor looks a like

Remicone is an ice cream parlor that looks like a laboratory on wheels. I like their concept. The most recommended and popular ice-cream in here is Thunder Bomb. It's like simple vanilla soft serve with fluffy cotton candy, and in the top there is a thunder sign. For the first time i think the thunder sign is just for decoration. But....it's vanilla chocolate, wow!! and the taste is really delicious.

I don't really know why but the taste of soft-ice cream in remicone is really different from the other soft-ice cream in another place, or another ice cream that i ever tasted. The kind of creamy, sweet, and such a perfect combination when you mixed the ice cream with the cotton candy. That's perfect! i recommended you guys this one. The most ice cream you must try!!

Thunder Bomb!!!
and look of the thunder sign that i talked before LOL 

How to get there?

Ok! i will give you some direction to reach remicone. Hope it will helpful for you. First, you must find sinsa station (subway line 3) and take exit 8. From exit 8 just go straight until you reach It's Skin on your left, then turn left! Just go straight during on your way to remicone you will pass LINE store(i like this place lol) and so many cafe.
I give you 2 option :
1. Just walk around 15-20mins from it's skin until you reach FOSSIL store. Cross the street and go to the alley in between, make a left in the intersection. Walk straight and you'll find Remicone on your left.
2. after the FOSSIL store you will find KM PLAY. Cross the street and walk to the alley in between. Just go straight and you will find Remicone on your left.

if you still confused, just type this address on your NAVER. it will really help you..
address:  서울특별시 강남구 신사동 547-12 1층 (547-12 First floor, Sinsadong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul - 135-890)

How to travel to Seoul alone!!

Hii everyone..
I come back with a new experience. ok! so finally i am on a summer holiday, and 2weeks ago i just got back from Seoul, South Korea. And..alone!! actually i have some friends at Seoul but, like you know they can't accompanied me all day. we just meet like 1 or 2 days. it took 10days of my vacation. and oh! i know someone from twitter, and she already in Seoul before my arrival and they were on summer program. So, she also accompanied me during my vacation.

Actually this is my very first time to travel overseas alone. yes, i had been visit Seoul, but in the difference situation. Last year I visited it for summer program, it means i had A LOTS of friends, and i have team leader who ready to guide me. but now, yeah i am completely alone.

first of all, after did the immigration and baggage things, the one i searched for is how to get prepaid sim card. Before my departure i already did some research about prepaid sim card, and from the web said, i could get it on Seoul station and myeongdong at Premium Travel Center. But i choose at seoul station, because on my way to my guest house, i had to transit at Seoul Station. so i decided to buy a prepaid sim card at seoul station. But you can also get it at CforU, 7evelen, GS25, or another convenience store. but believe me, the staff in there really bad in english. So, i decided to choose premium travel center. 

Finally i found the place (the location in b2 floor), if you have problem to found the place, just ask the staff at the exit gate, she pretty good in english. and the staff at premium travel center is really good in english, they will help you to registered your card, and the one you need is just paid the card :) and prepare your passport, because they will ask your passport. The simcard in seoul is very expensive. Because i am using iPhone6 so i need nano card. It cost 40.000won and just for 1GB orzzzzz 1GB for 10days is really not enough for me. And you can recharge it, 16.500won for 1GB. SO....I GOT 2TIMES RECHARGE BECAUSE 1GB IS REALLY NOT ENOUGH FOR 10DAYS :( so it cost 60.000won for me just for sim card.  

And, now the guest house. I choose Mom House (that actually owned by Super Junior kyuhyun's mother) and i really like that place. It's a quite expensive just for guest house but it really worth. Why? Bacause the staff is really good in english, the place is really neat, easy to find, breakfast and wifi are include, the room also have TV, and they have the amazing location. I love the location. It located in Myeongdong, and you just need 10minues walk to reach Myeongdong Street, the heaven place for tourist LOL, and around Mom House you will find 7eleven, McDonalds, OliveYoung, CforU, Tous Less Jours, and it really close with subway station. I love this place.

As you can see the beautiful view from the Mom House's rooftoop

The one that you must did before your departure is do some research, and make some plan. I already make some plan for what will i do when I am at seoul, and search too "How to go to ........." on google, and if you don't remember it just print it and bring them with you.

But, the only reason why i choose Seoul for my holiday, is because of this.....................

  Super Junior - SuperShow6 Encore Concert

Yes, it's like Indonesia proverb "sekali menyelam, satu dua pulau terlampaui" I already addicted with them since 2011 or 2012 and the one of my goals is watching their concert at Seoul (also my favorite country) on that day i came with my friend, Fio (already mention her at first) i know her at twitter, because she also came to ss6 encore, and alone. AH! we already hang out on my first day. we hang out at Yesung Cafe "Mouse Rabbit"

The concert was super AMAZING!!! i attended their concert when they visit Indonesia, but its a very different. watching concert at Seoul give me a different feels. And also new experience. for the first time watching concert overseas. And the one i compare with my country is "Indonesia fans and indonesia concert is really sucks" LOL sorry to say that but i am not lying. 

And also, Super Junior have promotion for their new album Devil, and the time of their comeback is when i was at Seoul, so felling really happy!!!!

 Here's their new CD. yes! i bought 3 of them lol

and here..i meet Super Junior members when they had press con at SMTown COEX. 
Honestly that day i met Leeteuk, Heechul, Kangin, Siwon, and Yesung
but really sad i just got heechul picture.

And i had a little reunion with my Korean Friends from my last summer program, so its really good to see them again. Here........They are the beloved people who always accompanied me during my vacation. 
 My beloved, eonni and oppa!
 Here...the people that i know from twitter!! They are really nice and kind Fio and Manda
Really lucky to meet them, and guess what? They also from Binus (but binus high school)
and they also lived in Tangerang. LOL what a accidental! 

OK! that's all for my solo trip at Seoul, hope it can give you a little knowledge how to travel at seoul. If you have any question about Seoul-things you can ask me through my twitter or email

Summer School Part 1

FINALLY....
After this long time decided to write about my greatest experience happened during 2014.
okay! ehm..mic test 1..2..let's get it start
*actually I am being confused where i must start this story*

First, I'd have join this program from my college international office, they offer short course abroad in some country, and i decided to choose my dream..beautiful..wonderful country -> South Korea!!! *applause* *applause* LoL I choose Chung-Ang University (there is no reason) i just search it on internet and found the campus looks adorable. The event took 3weeks...perfect!
The preparation is quite complicated because i must trough jakarta-tangerang to full fill the documents. From document for VISA, transcript score in english (it's pretty hard to made fiuhh...), and form for host university. After i complied the documents i get email from CAU international office if I was officially being International Summer School Student at CAU...OMG EXCITED!!! I am preparing all the things pretty well...went to money changer, briefing with team (and from this i knew some friends who will take this summer school with me too..there are sandy, michell, julius, and jesicca) *fucking happy that know if i am not alone*

Finally...D-day
i took 7hours from Indonesia to Seoul. And when we landed in Incheon Airport we look for CAU global ambassador that'd take us to CAU campus..omg..omg!! i was more excited!! and finally we were found him..He is Chansol...yea! Chansol oppa..the one and the most handsome which have a celebrity face lol. I was so startled when he greet us..Neither my girls' friend.
Chansol and the others CAU global ambassador showed us the bus. And we ride bus to CAU..i choose the sit in my favorite spot, beside the window, when on our way to CAU, I stared the beautiful view in front of me while thinking,
*omg.....finally i am here, is it a dream?* 
*finally..i am in the same air with my bias* (actually, bias is the idol who you love so much)
*what should i do, i am very happy* 
*daddy..i am so grateful because you let me to be here* 
*thanks Daddy.....*
*thanks God......*
*i want to stay here like...forever*
And BLAH...BLAH...BLAH (you guys can't imagine how i adore seoul that much and really want to be there) and something like that until we arrived at CAU.
When we arrived and went to our dorm, my friend michell, julius, and jesicca asked me and sandy to join them to go to meyongdong..and agreed! I turned out if there another Indonesian, his named Dendy and we became friend since that. Beside dendy i knew another Indonesia too. they are Fira, Ragil, Nana, and Fella (which from UGM), and Fira became my fangirl friend. I was grateful when i knew Fira is kpop fans HAHAHA that means i have a friend for fangirling in korea.

we still have 2 free days before our orientation day..we were like exploring seoul. we went to myeongdong, hongdae, trick eye museum, and another...Finally the orientation day! I am in with group 5 whice have the team leader named Lee Sieun..
Truthfully, she is the best team leader I think..I love her, he treat us like his own sister/brother. She is very funny, and i like her voice when she said "Nida.." "Nida..where are you going" "Nida...Nida" "SaranghamNIDA" "GamsahamNIDA" lol

We had a really wonderful time..and as time goes by I'd been know a lot of people from over the country....like from Korea, USA, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hongkong, Singapore. Really happy to know y'all.
We spent time a lot. In the morning i had Korean class with Mrs. Kim Eunjin, and cultural activities in afternoon. When a free time I was hang out with my friends, mostly with Indonesia, Korea, and USA friends.
hmm..ok..ok i will tell you their name.
-> already told you my Indonesian friends right? so..done. My korean friends they are, Yeongwoo, JK, Seung Yeon, San Ha, Daniel ( i forgot his korean name :( ) and Seung Ho. And Josh came from USA. We spent our time a lot.

We had so much fun in Nami island, and when we stayed at hotel in Gangwondo we liked playing games from 10 p.m until 4 a.m and i am ended up with back pain because i was so exhausted, and the first time i slept on the floor huffftt..but from them i know more a lot about korean games, and the punishment if we lose. I tried korean beer because I'd lose in some game, barring, that was really fun.

That i was so amazed with korea, that their country was super safe, despite you'd back to dorm at 12 a.m and take public transportation it's fine. And for food, wow! i would give 4 thumbs up for korean food. My friend and I found korean chicken near my campus called "Ho Chicken" and the taste is extremely delicious!

The picture above is Ho Chicken.
"I called it the THE MOST delicious fried chicken that i ever tasted before"
YOU MUST TRY
VERY RECOMMENDED!!


 And for patbingsu I like from elewis cafe in Hongdae
I'd try my friends recommended in Seol Bing (the most popular patbingsu)
But, i think patbingsu in Elewis cafe is THE MOST!

Done with food. because to upload and write here make me dying to go to seoul! :(
