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, ...

About time...

I moved here maybe almost 13 years. That day, I was 10 years old. Still in elementary school. I have lots friends on same age and some of them are my sister's friends (our age difference is 7 years). We grew up together. Growing up and I just realize now, when I graduated from uni, we all really grown up. Time for me to work, or continue studying, also they are already 17 years old. Time for them to get any license like driving license, residence card, or else. They already has their own rights to choose what they want to do in live.

I think we are balance, lots boys and girls. Time for girls to feel "Lady wanna be", I mean on their age (around 17) they want to know how about having a boyfriend, how to put on make up on face, how is fall in love, or maybe how about kiss, and many things. Sometimes, some of them forget the point of studying at school. They just think about their romance or love or something like that rather than their achievement. Well.... that always happen in life. Feeling up and down on same time. Feel many things.

And time for boys to feel like "bad boy". Not all boys like that, but some of them start to smoke because curious about their friends become and "look" so great when smoking. *I REALLY NOT AGREE WITH THIS. SMOKING ISN'T GREAT AT ALL* They start to taste alcohol even a bit. But the worst is smoking I guess. how? because parents, mostly let their boys smoking although they still studying. Maybe parents get angry at first time, but they dont have any bravery to ban their boys to smoking. Slowly but sure, they just watch their boys damage their lungs. I saw many boys around my house smoking before go to school. Do you know what I want to do to them when see they smoking??? I just wanna say something to them, "Hey guys, be ready for your death soon!". People should know smoking in the morning have a highest risk of death (some people maybe think, "Ohh I better smoking afternoon or night". ridiculous!).

Every seeing people smoking, I ask them "How taste? good?", they just said "Taste by yourself, then you'll know". RA KATE PO'O!

mmmm this is only what I think about, feel pity of some young generation.
STOP SMOKING! LOVE YOUR LIFE! LOVE YOUR SELF! YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE WITHOUT SMOKE!

#Edisi menggalaukan setiap kali berbicara tentang rokok, bahkan pemerintah juga sudah memperketat berbagai hal yang berhubungan dengan rokok tapi yah... simalakama. Jangan korbankan generasi muda dan warga negara dengan pernyataan "kalo pabrik rokok ditutup, berapa juta orang bakal nganggur???". coba jumlah rokok yang dijual, ditukar dengan membuka lapangan pekerjaan yang baru bagi mereka. Halah yasudahlah ya, serba bingung mau nulis apa lagi hehehe. ya sudah sekian dan terimakasih#

Fire in the Building

Who would have thought that I  experienced fire in the building.  This is my first time living in an appartement. Of course I never chose appartement when living in Indonesia because it’s a real high risk when the earthquake happen. But here we are placed in an appartement. What got me relieved the first time that we are in the lowest floor so if something happen we will be quickly evacuated.  That’s what I thought.  Until it really happened.  We slept around midnight and abruptly woken up by the noise outside. I thought it was the drunk people just got back from night club or the restaurant next door was doing some deep cleaning. So loud that I had to wake up. My husband peeked outside and immediately said “fire brigade outside, you wait here!” I was just “am I dreaming or what?” I put on clothes, checked outside and saw a few of fire trucks. I checked the other side of the appartement and saw a few of police cars and ambulances.  “Oh no, something serious...

Pengalaman Bikin (Free) Schengen Visa di VFS Swiss

I know this is so normal but anyway I like to compare the experiences because people might have different cases and because I have nothing to lose so... here's my experience for applying Schengen Visa via Swiss (VFS). Kenapa nggak via Belanda? Karena rencana kita berkunjung lamanya ke Geneve - Swiss (ada urusan kerjaan suami gw) dan kami belum tau akan ke Belanda apa nggak saat itu (nggak jadi sih soalnya mepet banget).  Seperti yang sudah sering dibahas orang lain perihal syarat dan ketentuan apply Schengen visa, gw nggak akan nulis itu ya. Udah ada di website VFS, lengkap. Gw cuma tambahin dikit-dikit aja infonya yang mungkin sama seperti kasus yang baca kalo emang kebetulan sama sih 😂 "Ok jadi total pembayarannya 280 ribu rupiah ya" "HAH?? Cuma 200an mbak??? Visanya gratis???" "Suaminya masih WN Belanda kan mbak?" "Iya" "Oiya itu gratis, bisa pake visa tipe C. Jadi cuma bayar biaya admin aja" ...
