Java // SEMPU ISLAND

 

 

Some of the international & local students made a trip to Sempu Island. Unfortunately I was not able to join the trip... Nevertheless the video shows the beauty of Indonesia and reminds me of all the other trips we went on together.

Java // PEKALONGAN

Our International Business professor kindly organised a trip to the opening of the International Batik Center in Pekalongan, Capital of traditional Batik art on Java.

For us this meant: Traveling, Accomodation, Food & Dinks plus a Batik workshop for free.

  One of my favourite moments of this trip: finally a hotel with hot water. A real  blessing after 2 month of cold showering...
