Jakarta

 Went to Jakarta for the first time last week for a business trip. 

I can’t even remember the last time I went abroad for work, but this time definitely felt different. The stress was there of course - after all, you’re there not for fun but it felt more enjoyable than the last time with old company. The expectation is there but manageable. The bosses are there but they made you feel welcome - up till this moment, I still wonder what I did right to end up with the best boss, best department, best corporate environment ever.

And the food, oh my God, the best ever. The best thing about Indonesia is the food I think, aside from the hospitality. I can have nasi ayam penyet or ayam geprek all day errrday!

It’s been quite a long time since I last attended a conference for work. If last time my scope was more on technical side, this time I was able to experience the business and management side of the projects, and I feel immensely grateful. It’s a different mountain altogether, but I feel like I can do this? 

And that’s a feeling so monumental to me you have no idea.

Will be back for sure. Missing Jakarta already..
