Taking a Train from Moscow City to Yaroslavky

walking to the wagon We chose deliberately in the winter to travel from Moscow to Yaroslavsky. In my defense, we kinda had to use the holiday a little bit. If we're waiting for the good weather, it probably not gonna happen for 3 months and then nothing again. So this trip was taken on February 2026. So we've decided to take a few days off going from Moscow to half of the golden ring. The name ring, means literally ring. Refers to a few cities that used to be very important in the past. Starting from Moscow city (where which we're coming from, technically). I have to mention the cities here anyway; Sergiyev Posad, Pereslavl Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Vladimir, and Suzdal. there will be info about the train  We took the train trip from Moscow. I would say it's the "normal type" of train. So we sat next to each other. Two seaters next to each other. I think my husband took the non-economy one. He booked the train from the app, tutu. T...

Pertama Kali Makan Kimchi

Kalian tahu kan kimchi itu apaan? 

Kimchi tuh khas Korea banget, makanan yang selalu tersaji disetiap meja makan setiap waktu dan setiap mereka sedang makan. Kasarannya begini, orang Korea itu belom ngerasa makan kalo ndak pake kimchi ini. Mirip lah sama orang Indonesia kalau makan harus ada sambelnya biar dikit.

Kimchi ini rasannya asem, kombinasi asem pedes gitu lah. Pertama kali makan kimchi, beeeehhhhhh rasanya aneh dan ehhhhhhh kayaknya ga mau cobain lagi dah. Itu aku cobain di acara gathering korea gitu deh. 

Nah karena “kapok” dengan rasa kimchi itu, udah deh nggak mau cobain lagi. Tapi waktu guru korea ku yang pertama mau pulang ke korea sana, kita diajak nginep dan makan-makan dirumahnya waktu itu. Beberapa hari sebelum lebaran. 

Kan kita buka puasa tuh ceritanya, banyak lah hidangan korea yang lainnya, ada juga nih si Kimchi. Aku agak takut cobain lagi, soalnya yaa alasan pertama aku buka puasa dan masa iya mau dikasih yang asem-asem, alas an kedua aku masih “kapok”. Tapi temenku cobain duluan dan dia bilang enak banget, beda ma yang pertama aku coba. 

Penasaran kan, masa iya sih. Akhirnya aku cobain sendiri tuh kimchi, dan ternyata emang iya rasanya beda banget. Yang ini rasanya lebih enak dan lebih meledak di mulut. Ya beda jelas, yang pertama aku cobain tuh buatan orang Indonesia, yang ini bikinan orang Korea. Rasanya emang jauh lebih meledak di mulut. Waktu pertama masuk mulut, rasanya pengen jingkrak-jingkrak nggak kuat asemnya. Tapi beberapa menit kemudian, udah pengen makan lagi biarpun asem banget. 

Ada yang bilang gini, “Kimchi itu emang asem dan kuat, tapi rasa yang seperti itu sangat membuatmu merindukannya”. Iya emang, bener banget. Rasanya yang kuat membuatku merindukannya untuk memakannya lagi.

Update: Fast forward to 2025, gw udah cobain berbagai macam kimchi dan olahan kimchi. Dari merk A sampai Z sampai balik lagi ke A. Mulai dari bikinan orang Indonesia, Korea Selatan, sampai Korea Utara (iya gw pernah makan di resto Korut). Rasa Kimchi itu memang beda-beda. Ada yang gw suka sekali, ada yang meh. Ya dinikmati aja lah 😉

Jumat ceria

Hari ini memang bukan hari jumat, tapi cuman mau bilang aja sih kalo hari yang paling aku tunggu-tunggu itu hari jumat. Why?   Karena jumat itu selalu ceria, kalopun ada meeting besar pasti di hari jumat dan banyak cemilan, orang-orang pada berangkat sholat jumat, yang nasrani juga mengikuti misa di kantor, bisa pake baju bebas dan bebas berekspresi sepuas-puasnya, dan..... bisa video call sepuasnyaaaaaa kapanpun karena dia libur kerja 😍😍 gambarnya lucu 😁  taken from internet

Surviving -20 Celcius in Moscow

frozen lake in Moscow I'd say surviving because I am a tropical girl coming from 30-35 degree Celcius. So yes, this is about surviving such differences in temperature. I spent my whole life in a tropical country then I have to be in a -20 celcius, not an easy situation.  Obviously, I came prepared. I have been in a 0 celcius and learned that double triple layering is the right answer. Moscow has heater that runs nonstop since the beginning of (probably, I dont remember) November until early May. So you technically can not turn it off or on. Many days it gets too hot inside. Going to the mall in Moscow got me super sleepy and tired because it feels most of the time like in Sauna. So, double triple layering in Moscow is the right thing to do.  November temperature usually started to feel chilly, still not lower than 0. December will get colder can be minus. But January and February are the coldest season. This year dropped to -20 (that I can remember). The average temperature wa...
