That Winter, The Lake Freezes

Another random post and random title that is inspired from Korean drama with similar title - That Winter, The Wind Blows. (well, I know it is NOT similar, but whatever)

Möhnesee, Soest

From the title, I would like to share about small beautiful lake located near Soest, Germany. The lake is called Möhne - or in Germany it's called Möhnesee (see = lake, in Germany) When I visited this lake in February last year, the lake was freeze because it was Winter (obviously) and the weather was as low as -18 degrees. The government also stated that the lake was completely freeze and it was safe for us if we want to ride a bike on the lake. As an Asian who has never seen snow and frozen lake before, I find it was AWESOME. Too bad I could not found bike and tried to ride it ON the lake.


The Frozen Lake

Back to our lake, Mohnesee. It is located apprx. 10 km from Soest and could be reached by bus or private car. 

The location of Mohnesee

For bus, you could take bus R49 from Soest Bahnhof (Soest train station) and stop at the last stop (I forgot the name), but according to bahn.de, the bus stop is Korbecke Seestrasse. The journey will take around 30 minutes and when you have arrived in the bus stop, you have to walk straight for around 15 minutes to finally arrive in Mohnesee. 

On my way to the lake 

You could find a beautiful park with jogging track, houses and restaurant near the lake. I believe if you visit this lake in summer, this place is a great place to visit to spend your weekend. :) 


Since it was a sudden visit, I did not know what kind of activity that I could do nearby the lake except taking pictures of the beautiful view around me! 


Even though I could not find a lot of interesting thing, but I supperrr love this lake. The view is just amazing just like the one that I could only see while watching dramas. And because of my photographer-friend, it felt like my friends and I were making a photo-shoot for pictorial book. Haha 




Our sudden photo-shoot ! 


I hope you love this short random post!

Hello. Again.

After all these days and YEARS, hello again blogger and readers!  Millions of things happened to me in the past few years.  New things. New job. New life. And recently, new place to live. (Yeah, I moved to Bali recently)  These hinder me to go back to my laptop, open my blog, and write my stories again.  But, today -- I'll try to sharpen my writing skill again and continue writing those stories kept in draft for a LONG TIME and finished it, one-by-one.  And, man... those drafts, those stories was already 4-5 years ago!  Time flies so fast and I hope my brain could still remember what happened back then. Ha.  As I checked there is new template published, I also decide to make things look newer here.  Hopefully with the change of style, it could give me new motivation to continue this travel blog project.  Wish me luck with the self-motivation!  Btw, happy long weekend, fellas! 

I Need A Vacation (to write again) !

Oh My God... It's already MARCH, and this is my first post in 2015 ?! Time flies. DAMN. Fast. I really have a hard time to sit somewhere and write in my blog, while I still have lots of topic to be brought from my lo-ng vacation to Germany in 2012 (OH MY GOD, already 2 years ago?) and to USA in 2014 (OH MY GOD, it's almost 1 year ago). I still have a lot of things in my pocket which I would gladly share to you... All I need is a Vacation ... and some encouragement to myself to write again. Oh, wish me luck my fellow travelers! :0 PS: Hopefully, it is not the first and last post as in my post before in 2014. :( HELL, YEAH !

Hostel Review : Dioskouros Athena

Ini nih, hostel yang pengen banget saya review sejak bertahun-tahun yang lalu. Tapi, apa daya... keinginan hanyalah keinginan dan AKHIRNYA, setelah 4 tahun berlalu akhirnya saya bisa menulis review hostel ini. Dioskouros Hostel  Pittakou 6, Athena 10558, Yunani Penampakan depan Hostel Dioskouros. Photo credit to the owner. Saya menemukan hostel ini dibahas di beberapa blog travelers lainnya ketika mereka berkunjung ke Athena. Dengan dibekali review yang cukup positif dan hasil penemuan saya di google yang menyebutkan 1)  lokasi yang cukup dekat dengan pusat kota, 2) terletak di wilayah yang bisa dibilang aman untuk turis asing dan 3) harganya sesuai dengan budget kantong, akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk book hostel ini selama kunjungan saya ke Athena. Pas hari-H, ternyata kualitas hostel ini sesuai dengan ekspetasi dan review positif yang ditulis para blogger. Tempatnya tidak jauh dengan pusat kota Syntagma dan Plaka (5 menit jalan kaki) dan dekat dengan stas...
