Pakai eSIM Untuk 30 Hari di Belanda

Amsterdam Ini pertama kalinya beli eSIM. eSIM ini nggak semua ponsel bisa, kebetulan aja gw beli karena ya ponsel gw bisa dipake eSIM. Sebelumnya sih gw jarang banget beli kuota internet kalau ke luar Indonesia. Kalau dibilang mahal buanget sih tergantung negaranya ya, cuma kadang males. Jadi kalau lagi di luar dan nggak ada internet gw bisa bilang "Wah lagi nggak ada internet gw di luar" 😅 Nah, gw pilih eSIM karena mikir kalau pake alat   macem mifi begitu pasti harus pick up alatnya, kalau beli SIMCARD ribet harus kasih paspor, harus ganti kartunya juga. Lalu terbesitlah eSIM. Gw cari beberapa eSIM yang banyak beredar buat di Eropa. Tadinya mau milih Simyo tapi harus abonemen bulanan. Ah nggak dulu deh. Kalau lamaan di sana aja baru okelah.  Tiap kali ke luar negeri, gw nggak pernah pakai roaming dari kartu gw sendiri karena menakutkan harganya. Tidak  worth it.  Akhirnya gw nemu eSIM dari  Maya . Menurut gw, kartu ini termasuk bersaing harganya. Gw beli yang 3GB dengan ha

Strolling Around Oldtown : Istanbul

Pardon me for silly English

little cafe

We both love history, but his knowledge about history much deeper than I have (for sure).

We spent our first days by strolling around Oldtown, where Haghia Sophia (Ayasofya), Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Galata tower and another iconic things in Istanbul exist (including those corn sellers. This is what I am going to miss about Istanbul actually).

 
authentic Istanbul

We arrived in Istanbul a day before, at around 7pm I believe, then we walked around to have dinner. That was the first time I ate the corn. I like that kind of corn, and I am too hungry to walk that far from hotel to find a good place to eat (instead, it was a 'zonk'!), so let say this corn is kind of appetizer before dinner (and become our daily snack during the day).

First we walk around Column of Constantine and Nourusmaniye mosque. There are so many birds in Column of Constantine. And the mosque is close to it. Close to the grand bazaar gate as well (there are so many gates of grand bazaar).

Then we walked to Ayasofya and blue mosque. There was a hippodrome there. Small pieces of hippodrome wall is left there, the rest was damaged. Imagine yourself standing there, in a place where history happened... horse racing and all of those stuff going on. Well hmm maybe it is just me who feels that weird way 😕 but that was amazing really.

 

 

 

 
medusa (Basilica Cistern)

I saw some fountains there, and an Egyptian Obelisk (dunno why and how it is there), another monument which we believe that a lot of people try to climb it and died there. Well...uhmm.. at least that was he read..

We walked around neighborhood, small roads, getting lost, tired of course but a lot fun. I really love this oldtown of Istanbul. And oh! Istanbul is the city of cats 😽

craziest cat, paling berisik, paling seducing

Romanticizing My Cooking

Bakso I have to admit that my love for cooking is growing. It's growing and I can't believe it myself. This feeling has been like this since probably two years ago. Before, cooking felt like a hard work that I had to fulfill. It still is, but the difference is I enjoy it now. So it does not feel like I am forcing myself.  Back then whenever I cooked, it's either wrong recipe or incorrect measurement. It never tasted right. So I gave up cooking just because I never found the right one. And then I started to feel that I wanna eat better. I don't want to just eat whatever, I want to know what goes into my body. If I prepare it myself, then I know it's good one.  I don't eat too much sugar, sometimes it is hard to buy one thing outside and has a lot of sugar in it. So cooking it myself will allow me to control the amount of sugar. So I found recipes and I tried to make them. As to my surprise, they taste right! Exactly how they should have tasted. That made me happy

Dapet Visa UAE (Dubai) Gampang Banget

Dubai creek Beberapa waktu yang lalu, kita pusing berat karena H dapet libur kali ini cuman 10 hari. 10 hari dari yang biasanya 14 hari. Akhrinya diputuskan untuk tetap mengambil libur tapi nggak ke Indonesia.  Ternyata, beberapa hari kemudian, dia bilang, kalau liburnya malah jadi 7-8 hari aja. Mau ga mau saya yang harus kesana. Maksudnya terbang mendekatinya. Udah milih-milih negara mana yang harganya rasional, yang ga banyak makan waktu buat terbangnya H, dan tentunya ga ribet urus visa buat pemegang paspor hijau yang ga sesakti paspornya H.  Btw warna paspor Indonesia jadi biru ya sekarang?? Pilihan jatuh ke Dubai. Pemegang paspor hijau harus bikin visa, ya pusing lagi deh cara bikin visa Dubai nih gimana. Apa iya sesusah bikin visa schengen, visa US, visa lainnya. dari persyaratan sih standar ya, termasuk  record  bank account selama 3 bulan. Emang nggak pernah bikin visa Dubai sebelumnya ya, apalagi H yang paspornya super sakti kemana-mana (hampir) ga perlu visa, dia ga pernah ad
