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, ...

Ini Dutch, Bukan Deutsch


Hari ini kelas Bahasa Belanda yang kedua dan ehmmm lagi lagi bacanya seperti Jerman. Ntah kenapa, terlalu lama terkontaminasi Jerman bertahun tahun jadi bikin lidah ini ngomongnya persis Jerman meskipun tulisannya Belanda. 

Trus jadi mikir hari ini, kayaknya ngomongnya lebih gampang Jerman daripada Belanda deh ya. Ya mungkin karena kebiasaan juga akhirnya juga begitulah. Baca vokal dobel malah diganti hurufnya, padahal vokal dobel di bahasa ini dibacanya panjang (contoh heeft dibacanya bukan hift tapi heift). Tapi ya lidah tidak bertulang. Mlungker mlungker. 

Duits yang harusnya dibaca Dauts, gw baca Deutsch (Doits). Artinya sih sama, tapi bacanya bego. Gini jadi mikir sejenak "oh begini ya rasanya murid gw yang gw suruh baca Korea dengan benar yang kedengeran kek mandarin" Lidah dan otaknya beda arah. 

Ini senin, dan hari ini juga gw punya kelas pertama Bahasa Belanda, trus langsung ngajar Korea. Lidah rasanya harus di setel ulang biar ganti nada. Itu ternyata cukup menantang lol. Tapi seru sih. Sekarang PR gw harus rajin baca. Baru kemarin nyuruh murid gw latihan baca novel Korea sekarang gw yang disuruh baca. Udah lupa rasanya jadi murid gimana 😂

Lucunya, yang ngajar kalo gw udah kebangetan banget dia bilang "Gapapa wis kamu kan dari selatan, masih lah ada logat logat aksen baca memper Jerman". 

Iya jadi PR ku hari ini dan selanjutnya adalah belajar membaca 😀

  1. Yang beda-beda tipis suka malah mbingungin ya. Waktu belajar Jerman dulu (sekarang sudah tidak bisa lagi, nggak pernah dipakai soalnya hehe), tetap saja nggak ngerti kalau Ibu ngomong Belanda. BTW, artikel ini bikin saya jadi ingat sama "Prisencolinensinainciusol", lagu tahun 70'an oleh Adriano Celentano (tentang gimana rasanya ngengerin omongan yang bahasanya kita nggak ngerti). :)

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

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...
