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...

Selamat Hari Pendidikan Nasional

 

Halo Pendidik dan Pengajar serta anak didik se Indonesia Raya. Selamat hari pendidikan nasional.

Apa yang harus diperingati di hari ini? Mungkin... perubahan apa yang harus dilakukan demi memajukan pendidikan Indonesia. Saya rasa semuanya bermula dari rumah. Lebih spesifik lagi, ibu. Kenapa ibu? Karena ibu adalah tempat pendidikan pertama bagi anak.

Kalau ibunya sadar sih bagus, nah kalo ibunya malah nggak ngajarin yang bener ke anaknya? Ya tetep aja lingkaran setan. Muter muter lagi.

Sebenernya ini bukan pertama kalinya saya cuap-cuap soal pendidikan. Karena concern terbesar saya ada di dunia pendidikan, sudah sering sekali saya 'curhat' masalah pendidikan. Tidaklah usah saya terlalu dalam berbicara soal teknis pendidikan yang ada di sekolah, cukup dilihat saja, saya cukup kasian dengan papa saya. Karena kerjaannya tidak hanya menuntutnya mengajar dan mendidik generasi penerus bangsa, tapi juga mengurus administrasi sekolah. Segala macem tetek bengek administrasi yang hanya sebatas 'administratif' dan tentunya ribet blibet bertele-tele. Biarlah para pendidik dan pengajar ini fokus dan konsentrasi terhadap pendidikan anak bangsa.

Mengajar dan mendidik anak tidaklah hal yang mudah. Setiap anak dengan setiap karakternya membuat seorang pendidik dan pengajar harus terampil dan kreatif dalam menyampaikan ilmunya. Kalau monoton dan itu-itu melulu, dijamin nggak akan sampai ilmunya dengan selamat. Yang ada anak akan berpikir 'ah guru itu lagi, males banget sih'.

Pendidikan tak hanya sebatas di kelas, tapi juga pendidikan moral tak kalah pentingnya. Buat apa pandai matematika tapi moralnya nol?

Ah saya tidak mau berkomentar trus-trusan. Saya hanya ingin memberikan harapan saya. Semoga pihak yang berkaitan mampu melihat dengan jernih apa yang harus diubah dari sistem pendidikan Indonesia. Bapak Ibu... Indonesia itu besar, Indonesia itu kaya, Indonesia itu beragam. Perlu adanya generasi bangsa yang kreatif untuk mengolah negeri ini. Tidak hanya bertumpu pada generasi bangsa saja, perlu adanya koordinasi bagi pengajar, pendidik, dan juga penggiat sistem pendidikan negeri ini. Jikalau semuanya berjalan beriringan, niscaya negeri ini akan bangkit dan bersinar.

Ini negeri besar bung. Nggak malu sama negeri seberang yang kecilnya segitu tapi majunya bukan main?

Karena pendidikan adalah senjata utama untuk memajukan bangsa.

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, ...
