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...

Gorengan --> monster yang enak

Gorengan. Mendengar namanya saja sudah bisa dipastikan ngiler. Kecuali bagi orang yang terpaksa menghindari gegara kolesterolnya yang super jahat.

Orang Indonesia demen banget sama yg namanya gorengan. Mulai dari buah2an yang digoreng sampai yang tidak pernah kelewatan absen dari sebagian besar meja orang Indonesia, tahu tempe. Kenapa orang Indonesia doyan gorengan? Ya nggak tau, karena dari bayi juga kita dikasih makan gorengan. Gorengan di Indonesia juga macem-macem banyaknya. Ada weci, ote-ote, tempe goreng krispi, tahu krispi, tahu isi, sukun goreng, sampai yang karena kebangetannya demen gorengan, es krim aja juga digoreng. Namanya es krim goreng.

Jujur sih belum pernah cobain yang namanya es krim goreng. Karena nggak nyampe gitu otaknya mikir, kok es digoreng sih?? Doyan gorengan sampai yg bener2 gak nyata buat digoreng aja bisa lho. Ajaib. Ya tentunya es krim dibalut dg tepung roti dulu agar tidak meleleh ketika digoreng.

Gorengan yang sebagian besar harganya 500rupiah, paling banter juga 2000rupiah ini slalu menempati tempat khusus dihati Indonesian. Bahkan tiap pagi nih, selalu ada gorengan yang muncul dimeja kantor yang bayarnya seminggu sekali *love you Bu Muji*. Bukan apa2 sih, hanya saja gorengan itu slalu hadir untuk mengobati rasa pilu yang menggigit ketika jam menunjukkan pukul 10 pagi atau 3 sore. Jam kritis perut saya

Tentunya gorengan tadi meskipun cantik dan menggoda, mereka mengandung banyaaaaaaaaakkkkkk sekali hal buruk. Contoh paling gampang, kolesterol. Minyaknya itu yg hmmm aduhai menggoda dan membunuh. Sakit apa yg ditimbulkan selain kolesterol? Banyak lah, salah satunya radang tenggorokan. Dan itu saya pernah disuruh puasa gorengan sebulan. Iya sih cuman sebulan doang gara2 tenggorokan rasanya ganjel banget. Percaya deh itu gara2 gorengan dan minyaknya yg seperti setan. FYI ya, mereka nggak 100% pakai minyak baru. Ada yang pakai minyak jelantah yg super hitam itu. Ahh yang penting nyampek ke kitanya cantik, iya kan?

Karena percayalah, sesungguhnya makanan yang enak itu cenderung tidak sehat.

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...

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...

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, ...
