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, ...

Happy New Year 2018!



 

Happy New Year 2018 everybody!

Kinda late huh? I just got back from seeing my husband, so like usual… I stopped all of my activities when I am with my husband. Either blogging or responding messages on my social media (but I don’t stop on Instagraming hehe). That is the way I respect and appreciate my time together with my husband. 

So… everybody has made their 2018’s resolutions?

I am here to make my own list for 2018. About what I want to do in 2018 :

Be healthier, smarter, sexier, happier. It’s like in one package lol
Read 2 books every month. I hope I can make it. I really hope in a year I can read at least 24 books. I put this reading challenge on goodreads. I hope it helps. (I am now reading 1984 by George Orwell, already 1/3 of the book).
Doing sport. I extremely lazy for doing sport so I hope I can make it and doing this.
Write more good stuff. 2 years ago I wanted to write as much as I can. About the quantity, now I want more about quality. I hope so
Be able to speak another language. So far… I learn Dutch but but but yea still so basic. So I hope I can make it this year, to be able to speak this language with my parents in law. This is also part of fixing my silly English.
Blog-walking more. I feel so bad that when I can’t visit other people’s blogs 😩 I promised will do it more now.
Reduce my addiction to internet (or social media). I am not social media junkie but I think I want to reduce the usage of it. I see no point of having so many applications for chatting only for some specific people, like Line only 2-3 people, BBM only for 4 people (I delete my BBM already, it was used for work). I think everybody on Whatsapp now. So this is my main messenger now. But I will not reduce my internet usage for blogging and watching series. I also considered to delete my Facebook. I need internet just to make sure he is safe and ok, I feel like I am less stress when I am not connected to social media.
Earn my own money again. I think it’s enough to be jobless for almost a year now. So it’s time to earn money again for myself and future.
Do something new and challenging. About this, I prefer not to write in detail haha!
Don't give a shit anymore! This is also I prefer not to write in detail 😌
Live together with my husband and build a family. I am not sure when I will be able to live together with him, so I just want to put this on 2018 wish-list. Even if this is not gonna happen in 2018, then let it be a wish-list for 2019 and another year in future. 

2018, Please be my year 💗

So I think that’s all. I will always add more if I want too 😄

Happy new year!

Gampangnya Apply e-visa Rusia

Red square Jadi, WNI diberi kemudahan untuk ke Rusia. Cukup dengan apply e-visa yang bisa didapatkan dalam hitungan hari saja. Meskipun sudah sering apply e-visa, tapi e-visa Rusia ini agak unik formulirnya. Jadi sebelum apply, gw baca gimana caranya di sini yang amat sangat runtut dan mudah dipahami. Sebelum isi formulir online, ada baiknya siapkan foto 3.5 x 4.5 dengan background putih dulu. Setelah itu jangan lupa untuk beli asuransi. Karena agak kepikiran, gw putuskan untuk beli asuransi dari perusahan yang ada di sana. Asuransi yang gw beli dari sini . Tadinya setelah beli kok nggak ada info apapun, bahkan bukti bayar pun nggak ada. Tapi petugasnya cukup tangkas setelah gw email, gw langsung dapat asuransinya. Nomer asuransi diperlukan untuk mengisi formulir, jadi harus beli asuransi sebelum apply visa.  Nah, bagi gw, ini formulir baru kali ini dapat pertanyaan yang unik-unik semacam apakah pernah pelatihan militer, wajib militer, pernah pegang / punya senjata, bahkan sampai ...

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...
