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...

Day Trip To Mtzkheta

  
pemandangan dari Mtzkheta

Keesokan hari setelah para lelaki menderita diare, kita pergi ke Mtzkheta. Tanpa rencana sama sekali. Dan lagi-lagi bersama dengan sepasang sejoli yang tak bisa berbahasa internasional (saya tetiba menjadi pribadi yang tak cerewet).

Mereka yang dengan tiba-tiba mengajak kita dipagi hari. Saya itu emang jarang merencanakan sesuatu kalau liburan kecuali kalau memang ada yang perlu direncanakan, tapi perjalanan mendadak dengan pemberitahuan pagi 3 jam sebelum berangkat itu juga saya nggak suka. Mau nolak itu ya suami wis mengiyakan, kita juga nggak ada rencana kemana-mana hari itu. Yawis akhirnya berangkat lah.

 
banyak pengemis disana. Kalo kata partner, mereka ngemis karena korban perang usai Soviet pecah. Kalo kata orang sana sendiri, mereka mafia yang yaa sebut saja seperti di Indonesia kebanyakan pengemis adalah mafia

Kita menuju Mtzkheta, kira-kira 30 menit dari Tbilisi. Ntah kenapa hari itu panasnya luar biasa, sampai 32 derajat. Sebelumnya hanya kisaran 26-30 derajat lah mentok, tapi itu kok panas banget. Dan saya paling nggak tahan sama yang namanya panas, sedangkan mobil posisi sama sekali nggak di AC. Bikin makin dongkol aja.

 
wajib mengenakan penutup kepala dan didalem gelap banget makanya saya cuma masuk sekian detik lalu keluar (nggak tahan nggak bisa napas)

 

 
kastil depan gereja Mtzkheta 

 

 

Jujur sih saya nggak inget nama-nama gerejanya, tapi ada satu monastery yang cerita sejarahnya lebih asik. Tapi saya nggak ambil banyak foto 😂 dan disitu, mereka tuh nyewa tour guide buat jelasin isi gereja sama sejarahnya. Nah suami mikirnya nggak usah lah, dia udah paham dikit-dikit. Nah saya mikirnya 'NGGAK USAH PERCUMA JUGA DIJELASIN DALAM BAHASA INGGRIS JUGA ELU GA PAHAM, LAH GW KAN JUGA GA PAHAM BAHASA RUSIA. MAKE SENSE GA SIH LU?'. Ditambah dengan nggak moodnya saya gegara terlalu panas. Jadi ke tempat bagus itu saya cuman mlongo kehausan, laper, nggak mood, cuman duduk aja nungguin suami foto-foto, dan juga saya cuma people watching aja lah.

Dan pulangnya berasa exhausted banget.

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...

Happiness is ...

Few days ago I met new friends. They are friends of my friend. I helped them for their competition. It's good to know them since the way they think about something is unique and quite close to mine. Until one of them ask me : 'What is happiness for you?' I told them that for me happiness is when I stop compare myself with others and not being compared with anybody else (well, you can compare me with others but don't tell me if you do haha!). I used to compare myself with people. For following their success path might be ok, but for having the same life as theirs who seen successful and happy, I don't think so. So I stop to compare myself with others and it make me feel enough. I feel more relax, since I don't have to pretend or to be somebody else. I feel more 'me' because I only think about me and free to do what I want to do (or to think what I want to think). But one of them said 'For me happiness is when you can breathe, eat, sleep, and p...

Pakai Debit Jenius di Luar Negeri

Amsterdam Central Station  Ini pertama kalinya pakai debit Jenius di luar negeri. Pemakaian ini menggunakan sumber dana EUR yang ada di aplikasi. Jadi uang yang keluar adalah uang EUR, bukan IDR.  Untuk buka rekening valas di Jenius, tinggal ditambahkan saja bagian buka akun valas lalu pilih kurs yang diinginkan. Di kasus ini gw punya rekening EUR di Jenius yang ditujukan untuk transaksi di Eropa.  Karena kemarin lagi di Belanda, akhirnya pengen coba pakai debit card Jenius karena EDC di Belanda belum tentu bisa untuk kartu kredit saja. Sebelum digunakan tentunya jangan lupa untuk menyambungkan kartu debit ke rekening mata uang asingnya biar sumber pengeluaran juga langsung dari tabungan valas itu. Tinggal klik klik aja kok. Tibalah saatnya menggunakan mata uang EUR yang sudah kubeli dari Jenius. Waktu itu gw pakainya di Schipol, di dua toko berbeda, dan keduanya nggak bisa tap langsung. Jadi harus insert kartu, tentu bukan masalah.  Karena terbiasa dengan transaksi...
