A brief review of a crustacean culinary experience:

Boston’s Lobsters

Emphatetic seafood lovers must time and again feel sad for their compatriots who are allergic to shellfish as they are denied one of the most beautiful delicacies that planet earth has to offer.

Jangan kita menafikan perbedaan dengan hidup dalam ilusi bahwa terdapat satu budaya Indonesia, tetapi let’s cherish and manage the differences. Rule of thumb setiap kali kita berinteraksi dengan budaya-budaya yang berbeda adalah: it’s not right, it’s not wrong, it’s just different.

Interfaith Dialogue

Nostra Aetate

Nostra Aetate is a groundbreaking document of its time that spearheaded true interfaith dialogs from the Church in the 20th century. Explicit references are made to other religions, acknowledgment of past history, but most of all sincere intention to move forward as one humanity - beyond religious boundaries.
