Tiga bulan pertama hidup di luar Indonesia

Gw kira rasanya akan sama aja. Ada rasa kangen ya wajar karena jauh dari tempat yang selama ini kita sebut familiar. Tapi ternyata ada rasa rindu yang pukulannya berbeda.  Di kasus gw, gw cuma kenal satu orang Indonesia. Beliau bilang kalau mau temen jalan-jalan bisa lah berkabar biar jalan bareng. Tapi karena gw ada kerja dari senin-jumat, sedangkan beliau nggak, jadinya waktu kami seringkali nggak pas. Sedangkan di akhir pekan, gw habiskan bersama suami.  Bulan pertama masih terasa integrasi. Berusaha mengenal supermarket mana yang jual apa. Cari ini itu di mana. Menghafal jalur transportasi umum. Mengenal, membaca dan memahami nama daerah atau tempat dari huruf cyrilic-nya untuk sekedar "kalau nyasar, bisa kasih tau suami lagi ada di mana" karena seringkali online maps dihambat pemerintah.  Bulan kedua sudah mulai mengenal banyak hal. Sudah punya kartu atm untuk pembayaran. Visa panjang juga sudah di tangan. Mulai berhati-hati dengan banyak hal, mana yang boleh mana ya...

Marathon Malang - Jakarta -Jogjakarta -Malang

I went to Jakarta by train. Here I will tell about the price that I spent for this trip. I didnt buy many  things. I just spent the money for trasportation and eat. I admit it. This is not the best price that I can spent, but it might help you who will travel like me.

Starting point : Malang
I go to Jakarta by Majapahit train. Go to Jakarta at about 6.25 pm and arrive at like 10 am. *but mine was late*. It cost about 265k because we reserved the ticket about 3 days before we go. It was economic train but it has combination of 2-2 seat possition. You know, the standart economic train seat. Its different with Matarmaja train which has combination of 2-3 seat. It is much comfortable to sit or sleep in Majapahit train. The rest room also cleaner than Matarmaja. Of course, we paid 2 times than matarmaja, so we will have some comfort things. Overall its better. *ibaratnya nih ya, kaki diselonjorin panjang itu bisa banget*

Aha! About the price list of foods in train, I will post it separately

Jakarta :
We were in Pasar Senen station. And we were hungry. The most safest food to eat in jakarta is eating in a place like fast food. Ok we are looking for Atrium plaza that is near Senen. walk only 5-10mins. And we eat in Hoka hoka bento. Ordered value set menu, the cost about 25k. Same price wherever it sold. Aman.

Kota Tua :
Next destination is Kota Tua. We went by Bajaj. They offer the price about 50k but we bargain it and we have to pay 40k. It was little bit expensive. If you want to make it cheaper, just go by bus or angkot. But I dont know the rute hehe. By bajaj, we went about 20-30mins. Enjoy the Kota Tua and we were going to Museum Wayang. The ticket only 5k. maybe the others museums in kota tua also 5k too.

My friend place :
Her place in Kwitang area. Still in Central Jakarta. Actually it is closer to Pasar Senen, only 5-10mins. We went to this place by angkot about 3k until gajahmada and then went by Bajaj again 35k. And we met our friend. We eat lalapan tempe, cost about 10k.

Hotel Grand Sahid Jaya :
Next day we have to go to hotel by taxi. The location in  Sudirman. Went by taxi about 7km, cost about 40k. And go home by taxi about 5km, cost about 26k. It was cheaper because it is closer and we were stop in KFC. Eat the original package, about 28k. Then walk less than 2km.

Next day :
Time to go back to Jogjakarta. We were supposed to go back from Jogjakarta by train. Because the ticket from Jakarta to Malang were sold out at that day, so we take the alternative way. We go by train from Jakarta to Jogjakarta at 6.45am, arrived Jogjakarta at like 3 pm. Gajahwong train, cost 165k. Its ok still, like majapahit train. Then transit there for about 12 hours. Go back to Malang by train at like 1 am and arrive at 10 by Malabar train.

Incident happened. I check my ticket and I reserved the wrong day in ticket. So we cant go back to Malang by train. Another option is going by travel car. I reserved and yes we are going back to Malang by car, cost 140k.

Arrive in Jogjakarta in Tugu station, we were looking for the mosque to pray. We going there, walk in enjoy jogjakarta afternoon, and finally we found mosque and pray there. We walk in Malioboro street. You know what is Malioboro right? Its a paradise which sell very unique things very cheappppp. It jst about 25k each. When they say 40k, just bargain it. They will let you take it with only 25k. Murce ciinnn

I havent much time to stay in Jogjakarta like we supposed to do. So I just enjoy the atmospher there, take some pics, and waiting for our travel car. We call the drive many times and he told us about where we should wait. He said "mbak nunggu di sebelah selatan stasiun aja ya" or "nahh itu kan mbak dari arah barat, mbak jalan aja ke selatan". Hellk hello anyonghaseyo I hate when people tell me about the route using "NEWS" Or north east west north. Helo gue cewek. Mana tau arah pake gituan. Pake aja kanan kiri.

We ask people about the route and finally we met the driver even we were doing much efforts to met him haha. Kinda good person. And it is a comfy car. I sit in front. I can relax. At least if I cant sleep, I can look at the road in front of me. Not beside me hehhe

*attach the pics later

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

Melewati Pusuk Pass, Lombok

Kembali ke Pulau Lombok setelah dari Gili Air, kita pun 'turun' gunung menuju daerah selatan. Kita pun melewati Pusuk Pass atau orang suka bilang monkey forest. Tadinya sih dikira kayak kita masuk hutan trus yang banyak monyetnya, tapi ternyata jalanan pinggir tebing yang ada banyak monyet main-main disana. Sama persis kayak jalanan kearah rumah nenek. sampahnya nggak seharusnya disitu ya? Berhentilah kita disana. Takutnya monyetnya kayak yang di Bali itu, yang suka nyuri, eh ternyata nggak sih. Monyetnya anteng diem, makan mulu. Salah satu kesalahan pengunjung adalah memberikan makanan ke si monyet-monyet. Nggak apa sih kasih makan tapi plastiknya ya jangan dibuang disana juga lah. Sebenernya bukan dibuang disana sih, tapi monyetnya aja yang narik ngambil plastik makanan disana. Jadilah disitu kotor semua gara-gara plastik sisa makanan tadi. Eh namanya monyet ya masa iya bisa dikasih tau, 'hey monyet jangan buang sampah sembarangan!', kan ya nggak mun...

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...
