Last night we went to The 3 House Bistro & Lounge to attend Wego Party, a party to celebrate the new website of Wego Indonesia using completely Bahasa Indonesia. A lot of travelers, travel bloggers, and many others show up at the party.

Wego Indonesia Community Manager, Achmad Alkatiri, came to us a couple of days before the event, asking whether is it possible to create a VR360° of the event. What kind of question was that? It was very unlikely that we would say impossible! Other than the VR360°, we also took some pictures of the event. (more…)

This place is amazingly huge, even with 2500+ participants wandering around to get their best shots for the competition, there are still many areas un-explored by them. Below is 10 panoramas (out of 18) that we took using a 9 feet pole to get a ‘different perspective’ of the event. (more…)
