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, ...

[Piknik] Belajar Menenun di Sukarara

Setelah melihat pembuatan kerambah di Banyumulek, kita geser langkah kaki kita menuju Desa Sukarara. Waktu pertama kali ke Lombok, kita hanya sempat ke Desa Sade tanpa ke Sukarara. Katanya sih Sukarara motifnya lebih cerah gitu.



Disana, ada display beberapa ibu-ibu yang lagi nenun dan pake baju tradisional gitu. Kitapun disambut bapak pemandu yang secara otomatis manduin kita. Dan you know what, kita difoto sama salah satu pemandu disana buat koleksi pribadi dia sendiri dan seneng gitu katanya liat aku sama HJ. Lapo coba seneng iku?

 
Dijelaskanlah semua hal yang berhubungan dengan Desa Sukarara ini. Kalau Desa Sade mempertahankan desain rumah adat dan keadatannya, Sukarara lebih ke sentra tenunannya. Jadi semacem workshop tenunan Lombok.



Aku sempet nenun lho. Dengan harapan nggak merusak tenunan si ibu, akhirnya aku cobain nenun. Sambil nenun sambil mikir juga ini bikin motifnya gimana, kok bisa rapi begini. Benangnya dimasuk-masukin pokoknya sama si ibu terus 2 kali hentakan buat ratain benangnya biar nempel sama desain sebelumnya. Yes! I didnt screw it up!


mukaknya nggak ramah banget ya aku? hahaha




Trus kita berdua diajak kedalam workshop buat liat-liat kain yang udah jadi. Harga paling murah sih sekitar 250ribuan gitu, yang paling mahal ada kali 8-10 juta gitu deh. Kita cuman liat-liat aja sih didalemnya. Udah nggak pengen beli, udah banyak pengeluaran haha

Motif kainnya jauh lebih beragam dan cerah daripada yang ada di Desa Sade. Jadi lebih banyak pilihan aja kalau mau beli kain. Jujur bagus-bagus, tapi bawaan udah banyak jadi ogah mau bawa barang lagi. Bisa dimarahin HJ aku nanti 😄

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" ...
