AOE: Beaching at Pandawa beach.

It's our full-time job that has been making me and my friends bored and feel saturated sometimes. In the mid time, we usually have a holiday to refresh our mood. January 2014, We decided to go to Bali. For me, it was not an ordinary holiday because I came to Nanda's house (my gf) and also met her family for the first time. I was a bit quiet in front of her family at the first time we saw each other face to face. I wasn't shy, i was just confused bout things to say. But as I visited her family more often since then, I get used to speak comfortably to them.

In Bali, Nanda accompanied us to some attractions she knew. One of the best beach attractions she suggested was Pandawa beach. We hadn't ever heard Pandawa before. It took us 2 hours from her house in Denpasar to the beach. Though it's quite far and a little bit remote (not as easy as going to Kuta beach that's located at the main road). It was worth it. We couldn't believe that Bali still has a beach like this; less visitor, blue water, white sand, clean, and cheap entry fee.

A refreshing scenery.
Have a groupie at the beach.
We also had fun underwater. Hehe...
Boyband? Haha..

There are a lot of things you can do in Pandawa beach. You can play and have fun in many different ways you like since there's not so many people there. You just need to be careful of corals that you may tread at the shore. However, for surfers, you can't surf at Pandawa because of its tiny waves. Also, having sex there is completely forbidden because of ethics problem as well as due to the fact that it is a holy place for locals.

For those who like beaching and have fun with a little bit of private moments, Pandawa is the right place!

AOE: Taj Mahal's twins, Bibi-Ka-Maqbara.

Have you heard that Taj mahal has a twins? Some people may be fooled by this creation. Some people perhaps call it the real Taj mahal. But it is not. Bibi-Ka-Maqbara is not Taj mahal even though its look is similar to Taj mahal. It is located in Aurangabad, more than 1000 km far away from the real Taj mahal in Agra. If you want to visit Taj mahal with a lower cost, it would be the best choice. It is almost 7 times cheaper than Taj mahal's cost.

Bibi-ka-maqbara is very similar to Taj mahal, isn't it?

Lesser visitor than the real Taj mahal.
A little construction which was not yet finished.
Now you see me.
Wonderful architecture can be seen when you get closer to it. 
Carved wall decorates its door.
Even the entrance is also similar to Taj mahal.
Backyard view.
You can spend a whole day taking a picture in every corner it has.
Mandy was taking a picture of us.
These big trees complete its beauty.
Worth visiting attraction!
Clean area & fresh air.

Will you include this into your next traveling list?
