Cygnet by Aston Martin

Via Dezeen

Cygnet, small luxury car by Aston Martin, will go into production in 2011. Definitely my kind of car. I would get it if I live in Amsterdam where your car tax is based on size.

Amazing Ujung Kulon Adventure Trip

So as I told you guys on my last post, I went to Ujung Kulon for a long weekend Vacation. and It was the most Gorgeous place EVER. This trip is totally recommended to anyone who has that inner naturalist at heart. There were 12 of us who went there and we conquered the long 7-9 hours drive (we got lost on the way there), island hopping, snorkeling, wild oyster feasting at it's own natural habitat (we literally shucked the oysters from the corals), sleeping outdoor plus stargazing and a 2 hour hiking through the jungle and seashores which was ended up being a 4 hours hiking because we got lost. We all got sunburned, got some toned muscle, and came home happy like 12 year old kids after a ridiculously fun summer camp. oohh....happy....so here it is I got some souvenirs to share :) Life is good people!!
ps: we didn't get to see the rhino at all because we were too damn noisy. Rhinos are shy and very sensitive to human smell and movement.

Going to the Jungle!

My sweets, I will be going to the National Park in Ujung Kulon to get in touch with my inner "naturalist butch". Ujung Kulon is located at the most western tip of Java island. We will be seeing a lot of cool animals, especially the endangered species of Java Rhino. The difference with it's African cousin is that it only has a single horn instead of two. No, this trip is not going to be glamorous but it will be a once in a life time kind of thing. Plus, an ex-Elite supermodel who I cannot mention her name over here is going to be joining us as well. Well, OK actually she is going to be the only glamorous thing in the jungle for 4 days and 3 nights. Hmmm....editorial photo shoots with the Rhinos anybody?? Wish me luck!
