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, ...

How are you?

Hello there! It's been awhile. I am so occupied here (with what? lol). Let's catch up on some things.

So how are you? Alles goed? I almost finish my Dutch lesson level 1. I can make a complete sentence now so I am happy that FINALLY!!! At least now I can say more than just Ik hou van jou 😂 I definitely will continue my lesson and thinking about taking French after that 😇

I've been working with someone from Canada, remotely. And I am taking a branding course that really interesting for me. So every time I walk into some shops or see some branding things I would be like "Hmm is that true that you're eco friendly or it is just greenwashing? Ah I know you use this to cover your previous fail branding about that issue!" 😂 On a serious note, I am really interested with this branding stuff and would love to share some when I finish. I will only share what I need to share 😋

I am little bit avoiding login into my social media accounts although it is not easy to do that I still need to log into it to catch up some news. The news lately making me so stressful that make me feel exhausted and tired even siomay and es kopi can't fix my mood. That's a serious thing when foods can't fix me. So I decided to skip for some days. Then when it got little bit chill, my husband sent me some news that I knew since last week and started to talk about it. Oh boy. That was intense.

  
Let's chill. Go get some ice cream

I don't want to talk about the protest and everything happened for the last couple of week, but I am so concerned about people who doesn't know about marital rape. Where almost everybody think that marital rape is okay. Ok we're talking about the real rape where there are no consent from one side. Not the "rape" term as in BDSM. No women, you're allowed to say no if you are tired or not in the mood or sick or anything to your husband. (and vice versa). It is not sinful. Align your logic to your holy book, and you'll find the match.

Oh catching up some about these religious thing pressure, I am un-followed by some friends that finds me annoying because I am criticizing too much about religion and thought that I am convert. They can't handle my guts. Ah they love me, talked about me behind my back. So lovely 😊

Three months living in Bali, make me happy. I feel that I found myself (more) and really enjoying it. When people asked, "Does it feel like everyday is sunday in Bali?" I can say yes to that 😊 it is so enjoyable and liberating living in a place where there is nobody tell you what to do.

 
Seminyak

So I think that's it. I will write more soon. Have a good day everybody 😉

Note: due to our complicated situation lately make the stock market dropping down. It is a good time to buy some stock. Go get some stock pals!

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...
