Getting my Hands on Film Camera

In attempts to slow_myself_down_away_from_digital_life, I am getting my hands on film camera. Yes, the kind of camera where you need to put the film roll in and then start snapping. If you are lucky, the pictures will turn up good but if not then we let the fate decide. This is not my first rodeo on using film camera, but it definitely the first ever to buy the film and develop it using my own money. It is not cheap, which I know.  What can I say, it's an expensive hobby.  I used my first film roll to take photos of my favorite people. So it has more human than random pictures. It was on family event. After the last shot, I wanted to develop it before I flew to Bali but they had no lab. Luckily we have the lab in Bali. I developed and scanned the film in Ojisanfilmlab Bali. They're just a google away. They sell the roll as well. I had to tell the TSA to do the hand checking rather putting it through the scanner. They understood.  Cimol hides himself in his favorite spot ...

Bogyoke Market

 

Masih tentang Yangon kemarin, ngomong-ngomong, Yangon ini kota yang ketika dikunjungi tuh rada susah nyari yang namanya souvenir. Gw bukan tipe orang yang suka beli-beli souvenir buat orang sekampung sih tapi gw selalu usahain beli buat orangtua gw dan juga om gw. Udah itu berdua doang, gw bahkan jarang banget beli buat gw sendiri kecuali kalo butuh dan unik. Cuma di Bangkok kemarin aja sih yang gila-gilaan belanjanya gw. Pertama kali khilaf 😁

 

Karena kegiatan belanja, beli-beli, liat-liat souvenir ini selalu nggak ada di agenda suami gw, jadilah gw slalu curi-curi waktu buat nginguk toko souvenir. Ini pertama kalinya rada susah nemuin toko souvenir ya di Yangon ini. Nggak ada tuh yang pinggir jalan toko souvenir berantakan gitu. Waktu coba cari, nemu satu yang menurut orang banyak ini pusatnya belanja barang-barang dari Myanmar.


Bogyoke Market namanya.

Pasar ini, yang kusuka tentu bangunannya dong. Bangunannya ala Inggris karena memang dibangun di masa kolonialisasi Inggris. Dulunya juga dipakai untuk pasar tapi ketika terjadi transisi kekuasaan ke Myanmar, pasar ini ganti nama jadi Bogyoke (baca : Bo cho).

 
lacquerware

Yang jadi andalan pasar ini adalah batuannya. Batu batu dari yang KW 1,2, Super hingga yang asli ada. Tapi bisa dilihat lah ya, kalo asli harus ada lisensi resminya. Dan itu, yaaa agak susah kalau belum cari yang sudah direkomendasikan. Selain batu-batuan ada juga lacquerware, ada juga longyi, banyak lah. Untuk harga lacquerware menurutku agak mahal sih, harganya sekitar 50 ribu sampai ratusan ribu tergantung besar kecil barangnya. Tapi lacquerware ini lucu gambarnya.

 


Nah gw juga dapet longyi sepasang, harganya 14ribu Kyat atau setara dengan 140ribu rupiah. Cantik longyi nya, gw bakal pake buat kondangan LOL.

Kalo mau yang lebih gampang lagi buat belanja, bisa mampir di New Bogyoke Market yang ada di seberangnya pas. Tapi disitu lebih banyak baju-baju aja sih. Gw lebih suka yang pasar lama, karena lebih krasa tuanya 😀 Lebih dapet feel heritage nya.

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

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...

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, ...
