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...

Recehan

Seinget saya sih udah pernah nulis soal ini


Seperti biasa, recehan bukan menjadi pilihan setiap orang karena udah pasti berat kalo banyak, keliatan kurang kece yang cenderung berujung pada pertanyaan :

abis ngamen dimana?
Hyaaaa.... selalu gitu deh. Tapi saya yang terinspirasi dari film Journey to the center of the earth gegara mereka bisa nuker uang recehan lima toplesnya dengan tiket perjalanan ke Reykjavik dari hmmm dari mana ya itu?? Amerika?? kayaknya sih Amerika, itu inspiring banget dehh buat saya. Sejak saat itu mendedikasikan diri untuk menabung recehan. Biarpun nggak nabung, tapi disimpen gitu, siapa tau bisa kelliling Eropa gara-gara recehan hohoho

 bayangin aja kalo itu receh lima ratus apa seribuan gitu, ada lima toples gede krupuk gitu, kayaknya bisa buat keliling Eropa. btw ini lho recehan yang ada di film Journey to the center of the earth.

Saya sudah lama suka nyimpen recehan. Sampai teman-teman yang tau kebiasaan saya, suka 'buang' recehan mereka ke saya. Dikira duit receh mah nggak berharga ya. Padahal seperti kata pepatah, 'sedikit demi sedikit lama-lama menjadi bukit'. Saya punya receh 100, 200, 500, dan 1000. Kalau yang 500 sama 1000 sih bisa keliatan agak gede jumlahnya. Nah kalau yang 200an ini. Biasanya dibawa mama ke pasar sih buat ditukerin karena yang namanya duit di pasar itu pastiii laku berapapun nominalnya. Duit 200 receh bisa buat jatah pengamen di pasar. kata mamak begitu

udah waktunya setor yang 200an ke mama hahah

Dulu sebelum pindah ke Surabaya, ada beberapa toples uang receh. Kebetulan yang satu toples saya tinggal dirumah dengan harapan nanti saya bakal bawa ke Surabaya. Tapi karena berat, yawes tinggal aja wes. Nah saya liat tiap kali saya pulang kerumah, ini toples kok makin abis ya duitnya ya. Eh ternyata mama bikin pengakuan, "iya, diambil papa buat taro mobil. buat orang-orang ngamen, kalo nggak gitu ya buat ke toilet". Alamakkkk.. yawes gapapa wes yang penting manfaat deh ya.

Karena kebiasaan saya itu, sampai akhirnya saya punya klien lho. Klien yang nuker duit receh. Tiap bulan ato paling nggak 2 bulan, recehan di toples mini saya penuh dan itu sekitar 150ribu. Karena mengumpulkan receh bisa menjadi dana darurat, yang maksudnya bener-bener dana yang daruratttt banget tiap akhir bulan, lumayan kan bisa nambah duit jajan sampai 150ribu begitu. Keliatannya sih sepele, tapi ya lama-lama jadi banyak tho. Klien saya itu tak lain dan tak bukan adalah bapak nasi goreng depan kos. You are my savior pakkk

 

gegara beli sesuatu dapet botol unyu begini, sayang kalau nggak dimanfaatin. Akhirnya jadilah dia botol penyimpanan duit kertas. segala bentuk hal yang bisa bikin semangat dalam menabung itu perlu digalakkan kok :)



sedang menanti jatah menukar recehan ke bapak depan kos

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...

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, ...

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...
