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...

Cerita Gowes Bareng Jogja Bike (1)

 

Salah satu tujuan yang harus tercapai ketika mengunjungi Jogja kemarin adalah GOWES di Malioboro. Itu semacem ga bisa nggak deh pokoknya kudu gowes, sendirian ya gak masalah wis.

Terus kan sebenernya tujuan ke Jogja kemarin adalah Ujian Bahasa Korea tapi kita punya ekstra 2 hari sebelum ujian. Emang sengaja nyisain waktu buat liburan tipis-tipis. Gw kesana bareng pengajar Korea (Maya) tentunya dan juga pengajar Bahasa Inggris (Mbak Trias). Mbak Trias butuh hiburan, doi tepar gegara jadi anggota KPPS sehari sebelumnya. Jadi pas dateng tiba-tiba ngerasa sakit.

Malemnya kita cari makan, eh doi malah mual-mual masuk angin. Duh masa iya jauh-jauh ke Jogja tapi berakhir di kasur aja? Nah pas jalan pulang, kan dicegat mas-mas Jogja Bike ini ditawarin sepedaan. Gw sih OKE banget kan, tapi si mbak ini menolak dengan dalih lagi sakit. Trus gw rayu-rayu dia biar ikutan gowes itung-itung cari keringat gitu biar cepet bisa sendawa dan anginnya keluar ntah lewat lubang manapun oke lah. Long story short, doi mau ikut gowes. Jadi kita bertiga gowes bareng.

Oh ya, ada beberapa hal yang kita rasa bisa komplain ke Jogja Bike ya. Kondisi sepeda agak goyang yang mana ketika mengayuh itu terasa kali goyangan tidak stabilnya. Kemudian remnya juga rada alot dan nggak begitu pakem. Kondisi ini akan sangat mempengaruhi orang yang jarang bersepeda (jadi krasa terus mau jatuhnya).

 

Tuhan, disitulah gw ngerasa kalo spion tuh butuh. Ga peduli buat sepeda apapun ya, akan lebih baik kalau sepeda disana ada spionnya biar ga jereng mata ini kalo mau belok atau nyebrang.

Gw sangat suka sekali dengan konsep bersepeda ini. Sayang sekali, program yang baru berjalan mungkin setahunan ini sudah harus mengalami minus sana sini. Aplikasi kemarin agak percuma karena scanner sepeda rusak jadi harus di scan manual. Mengembalikannya pun harus ke tempat meminjam sepeda juga karena rusaknya penyimpanan database ini (sebetulnya bisa dikembalikan ke tempat lain).

Oh ya aplikasinya namanya InaBike. Baru ada di Jogja juga Bali. Semoga kota lain ikutan juga ya ada InaBike ini. Asik soalnya.

Harga sampai lebaran masih gratis. Tapi semoga setelah berbayar, mereka pun akan berbenah. Karena hey! Program ini bagus banget lho, saat males jalan muter Malioboro kita punya opsi lain untuk mengayuh sepeda sepanjang Malioboro (atau seputeran Malioboro). Cobain deh kalau ke Jogja 😊

  2. Jogja, meskipun jaman sekarang udh modern tapi masih segar dan sehat kotanya kayak dulu. Gak kaya Jakarta yg udah banyak polusi kendaraan.

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...

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...

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, ...
