This cathedral is called, "Paroki Katedral St. Maria Penolong Abadi Samarinda," it is quite different with cathedrals in the Philippines, here, when the mass begins, the cathedral closes unlike in the Philippines that the church never closes.

As a Roman Catholic, it is my first time entering a mosque. Disclaimer: I have asked before entering the sacred place if it's okay for non-Muslims to enter. They said it's fine. Going back, this is a precious memory for me because I got to know much of their culture. It was also my first time seeing the Quran.

The last stop for the first cultural escapade is a dinner at the Big Mall, although it isn't as big as the Mall of Asia in Manila, I was told it is called the "Big Mall" because it is the biggest in Samarinda.

There's a Car Collection in Dela's house. It is the property of her Uncle, Kaka Reza. To see a live collection up close is amazing. It was like walking to a car show with all the Hotwheels, razing cars, and even cosplay costumes. 

Mahakam Riverside Market or "MaRiMar" for short is a breathtaking place. I enjoyed the place a lot because there are a lot of picturesque corners and it is worth sitting down to appreciate the Mahakam River, the longest River in Kalimantan

The view here is breathtaking. I was also told that this place is funded by the University themselves, which is an amazing feat. While we were taking pictures here, I saw the ships full of coals.

I tagged along the Elementary Study Program's extension activity at Anggana. There I saw unfortunate classroom facilities. However, it is a relief to see the passion still burning in the eyes of the teachers in Anggana, eager to teach.

I got to experience how the night market in Indonesia is done. We strolled through the busy nighttime of Banggeris with Pak Tangin and the officers of the Elem Study Program Student Council.  

We went to the new capital of Indonesia, IKN! Here, we stopped by the Titik Nol, Nusantara. Although I am a bit sad that they'll cut down a lot of biodiversity, it is understandable given the situation of Indonesia's previous capital.

As a beach lover, visiting Lamaru Beach is a feast for my eyes. This is even better since I am with my favorite Indonesian friends namely Angel, Lisa, and Ihsan. 

I saw a glimpse of East Kalimantan's history in this museum. I learned that "Mulawarman" is actually a King, somewhere in the past. A name that has the University's origins. 

This place is picturesque as it contains a lot of places you could enjoy. The mini cottages are especially nice to look at and it looks comfortable.
