Rough Guide to Bali

Penjor "Hey I am coming to Bali, can you recommend me things to do?" I got that question a lot. I get it, I live in Bali so people would think that I master everything about Bali. Well... 50:50. I happened to travel around Bali since 2017. So it wasn't wrong to assume me knowing Bali. But I am also a lazy traveler so I don't always do many things in one place.  That is why we will call this a rough guide to Bali.  First thing first, define your style of traveling. Because we all know that Bali is an island. Not a city. So it is quite big, you know. You can not explore all of it in two weeks. Well you might be able to do so, but probably not immersing enough of it.  So... what is your style of traveling? Bali offers you some cultures, quiet normal life, party hotspots, quiet beaches, busy beaches, temples, and so on.  Mt Batur West part of Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta) If you enjoy partying, you might want to spend your time more in the west part of Bali like Canggu, ...

90's generations

I am 90’s generation. I was born in 1991, so I am 90’s generation. I still remember how was my childhood with friends. Was very happy at that time. Just play around, play and play. Not thinking about what happen tomorrow, not thinking about obligations to do, about jobs, about money, about everything, just play around with friends. Hmmm ....always happy.

I still remember when I was child, I played something that always move our body, make us think strategies to play, always run, that always make us sweaty, means like we do some physical exercise every time we played. Then what we get? Health, fun, friends, happiness, unforgettable moments. We had lots of child’s songs. We have our own world that make us feel and just be a child at that time. With that kind of activities, it stimulate our growth when child. Child needs to move a lots, with that kind of play will make them grow up very well.

Compare with kids now, what they play? They plays some video game, play station, online games, internet, or something like that. when they plays, they never move even a bit. They just sit and hold that game device and only move their 10 fingers. Can be healthy to play like that?? no. I know play that games will make kids think a lot, and can arrange the strategies to finish and win that games. But, remember, kids need to move. Move and stimulate their growth. They need to move and be happy. That’s the point. Are they had child’s songs? Not as much 90’s generation songs hahaha. But yes it is. At least in Indonesia. No songs for kids now, poor them. Feels like kids are robots. Hmmm... I don’t know.

So, what do you think? Let your kids grow up well or not? Let your kids had very good childhood or let them enjoy their device? Up to you… It just hmmmm I don’t want kids have bad childhood, because it will affect them when they become adults.

Let’s make a good atmosphere for kids, for them, for them who will lead and take care this world.

Setelah Beberapa Minggu Tinggal di Moskow

red square Nggak ada yang bikin gw 100% kaget dengan perbedaan, cuma rada syiksyaksyok aja dikit.  Beberapa bulan lalu gw ke sini buat jalan-jalan. Ada kenalan suami bilang, "Gila ya, orang Moskow tuh wangi-wangi banget. Penasaran banget pake parfum apa." Waktu itu beneran nggak ngeh karena lebih banyak bau rokok daripada parfum sih menurut gw. Orang Moskow kalo ngerokok 11-12 kayak orang Indonesia di warkop.  Tapi otak udah terpapar ide tersebut, jadi waktu gw balik lagi ke sini, eh beneran dong mereka di jalan tuh wangi banget. Wanginya nggak nusuk, malah blend-in banget sama sekitar jadi nggak yang tiba-tiba puyeng makbrengg gitu baunya. Enak banget. Iya bener juga, gw jadi penasaran mereka pake parfum apa. Gw pengen beli.  Orang bilang kalau orang Rusia tuh jarang senyum, kaku, yang mana gw rasain pas awal dateng ke sini. Tapi setelah tinggal di sini, nggak juga kok. Mereka senyum kalau kita ngobrol sama mereka. Emang sih beberapa tetep ada yang pahit tapi nggak semua...

Dapet Visa UAE (Dubai) Gampang Banget

Dubai creek Beberapa waktu yang lalu, kita pusing berat karena suami gw dapet libur kali ini cuman 10 hari. 10 hari dari yang biasanya 14 hari. Akhrinya diputuskan untuk tetap mengambil libur tapi nggak ke Indonesia.  Ternyata, beberapa hari kemudian, dia bilang, kalau liburnya malah jadi 7-8 hari aja. Mau ga mau saya yang harus terbang mendekatinya. Udah milih-milih negara mana yang harganya rasional, yang ga banyak makan waktu buat terbangnya dia dan tentunya ga ribet urus visa buat pemegang paspor hijau yang ga sesakti paspornya dia. Pilihan jatuh ke Dubai. Pemegang paspor hijau harus bikin visa, ya pusing lagi deh cara bikin visa Dubai nih gimana. Apa iya sesusah bikin visa schengen, visa US, visa lainnya. Dari persyaratan sih standar ya, termasuk  record  bank account selama 3 bulan. Gw belum pernah bikin visa Dubai sebelumnya ya, apalagi H yang paspornya super sakti kemana-mana (hampir) ga perlu visa, dia ga pernah ada pengalaman bikin visa kecuali  Visa Sosial...
