I never imagine myself living far from home. Unlike my other friends, I never rented a kos-kosan room while attending college. I rather to take train or do 40 minutes of driving to reach the 25 km away campus.
After graduated, I went working in the CBD area. The traffic may gets crazy most of the times, but I think the distance is bearable, so again I didn’t rent a kos-kosan.
But sometimes life brings you (strange) surprises.
