Papua, Yaswarau. Papua, I love you.

"Happiness is now"

That very short sentence was spoken by Thich Ninh Hanh, one of Budhhist most famous monks who visited Indonesia, yesterday. Interstingly, that is exactly the same feeling I have now. I am not yet arrived at the Land of Cendrawasih (bird of paradise). Yet, meeting fifteen ACI group 3 (destination: Eastern Indonesia) is truly happiness.

Playing around with Nexian Journey. Trying out new shades from Optik Seis. Fitting out t-shirts from gantibaju.com. Those were some of the exciting moments we shared today. More important, today is the beginning of an amazing journey by Tim Unyu Penyu as for the rest of ACI adventurers. Exploring North Papua.

Visiting ye borthers and sisters. Capturing and sharing the beauty and unique nature and culture of world's second biggest island. Shouting to the whole world about the enthralling beauty of Indonesia.

Writing stories. Interview and photo session. The long process of becoming one of Aku Cinta Indonesia (ACI) adventurers by Detik.com was yesterday. But like those wise men said, winning is no less important than proving the triumph. So we will shout to the world: we deserve to be Indonesia's tourism ambassadors. And that's a hell of challenging job, for sure.

So, support us. Check out our group page: Group 3, Team Papua 1 for latest updates on stories and pictures of our trip.
