i want to be someplace else, right now. i want to be in the economy class train to medan, or to banyuwangi. i want to be in a dodgy or expensive bus; i don't really care which one but my wallet do, to some island, or mountains or forest. i don't wanna be stuck in the same room for months, waiting life to happened, swarmed myself with the wonderful virtual images from around the world or close to my home and wanting to go there but don't, when the world is happening, out there right now!

i wish for a late night self reflection session with my feet dipped into the sand, laying on the beach with the soft sand caressing my back, counting the stars and gaze into space, into myself. i want to hear the sound of waves crashing softly, the sound of wind bringing the news from a world across, telling its story. i want to be on a bed in some cheap hotel, ready to go to sleep...with a tired body and huddled mass, but so happy for the adventure i've had during the day, and close my eyes with a smile hoping another great adventure tomorrow morning.

i want to see the faces of travelers from around the world, gathered in a place some people believe sacred, some poeple just appreciate it just because it's magical and beautiful. where each and every one of them has the same reason, to escape.

i want to be someplace else, anywhere pretty but my room.
