AOE: Ciwidey trip.

I have been traveling to some great places with COTAS for almost 10 years. We experience from the worst to the best. Today's post will be one of the story of those journeys. We went to Ciwidey, an area that is well-known for its 'Kawah Putih' on 13th-14th of June 2009.

Making a bonfire with gasoline (stupid teenagers haha).

Don't know what to say. (Alayers haha).

These dried plants got our attention.

Actually, I have a stupid accident there. Me and my cousin, Dhery, were felt into the big hole on the road when we were riding a bike. Because of that, we got some wounds in our body. That was such a jackpot during the trip.

Kawah putih is one of many beautiful craters in Bandung. It is really good spot if you want to take your pre-wedding photo-shoot. What makes this place unique? That's because the crater is so close to you which is not a common thing. Thank you.

MBR: What The Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell

Hola everyone, it's been a while. This time I want to review about the book I just read, Malcolm Gladwell's What The Dog Saw.

Malcolm Gladwell tried to share about stories he got as a writer at New York Times. He called it as great adventures. The stories are about brilliant persons who have some hidden amazing things. Below is a list of some those persons. (note: not in order/random)

- Was John Kennedy Jr. panicked or choked when driving a plane that crashed and killed him at the end?
- What American football players taught about how to choose a good teacher?
- What was a hair-dyer role in 20th century history?
- What the dog saw on Cesar Millan and his body language?
- Who is to blame when an accident like Challenger explosion happens? No one, and we have to used to it.
- Why we always associate genius with speed of work?
- Should plagiarism charge ruins your life?
- Do we overestimate smart person?
- What we can learn about crime from pit bull?

And many more...

We can learn about something that maybe we didn't know it yet even though it happens around us. We have to be an open-minded person because of that and see this world differently. This book is great for person who wants to explore more about life. Don't be arrogant because of you have gotten something you wanted, there are many things that we don't know yet.

Keep learning!
