black canyon the "cozy place"

when i write this im in a "cozy place" in a highland of Candi, semarang, central Java. this is a "cozy place" i heard from an online friend. im travelling for about 12 days for business. im here not because i need to meet friends for hang out. im here cos i just bored at hotel and no place to go. i have one and half day for myself :) today we end at 12pm then we went for lunch in a seafood resto with local style. then spent 2 hours relaxing, chatted with my old crazy friend (mas totok) and my dear brother.

planned to left hotel at 4 but i broke my own plans as usual :p i left hotel at 6 for tahu gimbal and conglie home made ice cream in simpang lima. then jumped into taxi for a cafe called black canyon. i heard about this cozy place from a new unseen friend few days ago. what i was to tried to do was find a cool place for relaxing, killing time and surfing. yea, my best friends during travelling are my laptop and my 3g modem. alas, the modem does not work in this black canyon. the connection is connected but it does not give me a connection! waaaks .... what a bad news pals. but thats ok :)

i tried a cool cold coffee with caramel. and now a bowl of "good food for good health and good life" :) black canyon tom yum kung! yup! cos black canyon is a thai franchise cafe :) hmmm.. a very tasy and spicy bowl of shrimp soup. the mushroom slices were swimming in that dark yellow sour soup :) not bad at all ......

black canyon could said as a cozy place except the warm air and a little bit crowded. i think the ai-con is too warm. they have modern-minimalist interior but in some place (at least in front of me) there couples of big old style chairs and table. they remind us to "jaman belanda". hehehe confusing me :p the people are very friendly, maybe cos they're thai franchise + javanese culture of people. it take place in the front of a hotel (called Candi Baru hotel if im not mistaken). candi is the name of area with high surfaces of lands. my taxi went up and down, up, up, up , down, turn left and right many times before we get there. girls, if you drive smoothly through this area without any problem then i bet you can drive anywhere easily wakakakaka ..

btw this place is full of high class - chinese people with javanese deep dialects. ah.. i have no idea how to describe it. before this cafe i went to a church where i plan to attend tomorrow to check out theirsunday service. alas the indonesian service helds in 6pm in the morning :p and the next service is an english service at 10.30pm. geeez.. and you know what? i lost my indonesian bible since i went to singapore 3 weeks ago. so i like or not i need to use my big english version bible instead of my tiny light little indo bible. maybe thats why God sent me to a church with english service only available for me. hehehe

its 20.45PM now. can you imagine what i had taken this last 8 hours? yummy local style seafood, tahu gimbal, conglie ice cream, cold coffee with caramel, a big bowl of great shrimp tom yummy yum kung and last.. a bottle of aqua to neutralise my throat. wakakakakakakakaka. God, im stuffed with goodness :)


Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;great is your faithfulness.
