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...

Book : Dilihat Dari Rumah Kaca


Setelah Bumi Manusia, Anak Semua Bangsa, Jejak Langkah, tetralogi terakhir dari Buru ini adalah Rumah Kaca. Berbeda dengan buku sebelumnya, Rumah Kaca ini mengambil seorang lain untuk membaca situasi yang dihadapi oleh Minke. Menelisik siapa saja tokoh tokoh yang diceritakan Minke di 3 buku sebelumnya. Apakah fakta ataukah hanya karangan belaka.

Buku ini auranya berbeda dari tiga buku sebelumnya. Karena di buku sebelumnya kita bisa mendalami sosok Minke dengan segala kegalauannya, disini kita memang memandang orang lain dari Rumah Kaca kita. Dari kacamata dengan data yang ada untuk digali lebih dalam. Kata salah satu kolega, ini closure dari ketiga buku sebelumnya.

Minke memang luar biasa, di masa segitu, Minke berani bersuara dengan tulisan termasuk hal yang sangat berani. Tantangannya dibredel atau yaaa minimal diasingkan lah, paling parahnya dihilangkan. Karena ketakutan akan mempengaruhi kekuasaan kolonial.

Tidak banyak yang bisa kutulis tentang buku keempat ini. Karena semua cerita sudah tercakup di tiga buku sebelumnya. Yang jelas di buku ini pembaca diajak untuk refleksi tentang apa yang dialami Minke di tiga buku sebelumnya. Sosok Minke yang bisa dibilang kontroversial dimasanya. Seperti kata mertua gw :
Menjadi berbeda di Indonesia itu sulit, kamu harus kuat Pris. 
Terima kasih Minke, Terima kasih Pramoedya. Masterpiece ini harus dibaca semua orang. Kita beruntung pernah memiliki kalian 💗

Jumat ceria

Hari ini memang bukan hari jumat, tapi cuman mau bilang aja sih kalo hari yang paling aku tunggu-tunggu itu hari jumat. Why?   Karena jumat itu selalu ceria, kalopun ada meeting besar pasti di hari jumat dan banyak cemilan, orang-orang pada berangkat sholat jumat, yang nasrani juga mengikuti misa di kantor, bisa pake baju bebas dan bebas berekspresi sepuas-puasnya, dan..... bisa video call sepuasnyaaaaaa kapanpun karena dia libur kerja 😍😍 gambarnya lucu 😁  taken from internet

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...
