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...

Mabok Lagi di Lautan Nusa Penida

Crystal Bay

Jujur ini gw bingung, gw yang lemah apa emang ombak di Nusa Penida tuh bikin mabok banget. Gw belum pernah ke Nusa Penida pulaunya tapi ke lautan sekitar Nusa Penida udah 2 kali dan masih juga belum bersahabat. Pertama kali sekitar tahun 2018 atau 2019, buat snorkeling. Minggu kemarin, kali kedua ke sana dengan provider yang sama, namun untuk Diving. Hanya ukuran wet suit saja yang berbeda, dari XS ke M. Iya beda banget. 

Beberapa tahun yang lalu ditanyain apa mabokan, gw dengan PD nya bilang enggak karena sebelumnya juga pernah ke Gili naik boat juga oke aja. Eh belum 30 menit, udah ambyar mutah-mutah. Gw inget banget ada mas-mas diver cakep banget nyebur diving di samping gw muntah-muntah. Well, you'll feel better in the water, and it was. 

Kita dibawa ke 3 spot diving/snorkeling. 

Kalau low tide begini, dibawa dulu pakai kapal mini ke speed boat di agak tengah

Bertahun berlalu, H mulai pengen diving di Nusa Penida buat liat manta. Gw agak grogi karena masih trauma, beneran trauma banget ada di boat dan air. Waktu di Maldives juga ada di boat juga, tapi baik-baik aja. Jadi gw beraniin oke lah diving pergi pake boat itu lagi. 

Sebelum berangkat gw minum tolak angin, ngemut permen tolak angin nggak berhenti, masih juga minum antimo. Sejam setelahnya gw masih oke bahkan sampe setelah diving. Tapi begitu naik kapal setelah diving pertama, perut rasanya kayak dikocok, muka pucat, tapi masih bisa tahan. 

ke speed boat ini

Karena diving sekitar 30-45 menitan, kita perlu waktu istirahat sekitar sejam di daratan sebelum nyemplung lagi. Nah otak gw udah kayak "OKE INI SEJAM DI BOAT APA GW BISA TAHAN?" Ya tentu tidak. 30 menit setelahnya gw muntah-muntah. 3 kali ngeluarin isi perut, langsung kosong. Dikasih antimo lagi, lalu siap-siap nyebur. 

Setelah diving kedua, istirahat lagi dong di kapal. Gw udah nggak pengen naik ke kapal. Trauma banget ngeliat kapal. Lalu, karena harus, akhirnya gw nyerah. Gw udah nggak bisa lanjut diving ketiga karena gw udah pusing banget. Rasanya terombang-ambing, tapi gw juga nggak mau di kapal trus. Akhirnya join grup snorkeling aja di Crystal Bay. Surge di Nusa Penida emang nggak main-main. 

Selama di air pasti rasanya lebih enakan daripada di darat tapi terombang-ambing. Gw juga udah liat one fixed point tapi tetep aja mabok. Apaan. Waktu gw diving juga di bawah nggak ada sih arus yang gimana gitu, tapi surge yang gede banget. Jadi di dalam air kayak main ayunan gitu. Ya kalau di air sih oke, tapi di atas air rasanya... ingin muntah lagi. 

Sanur dari kejauhan

Jadi, buat yang ingin ke Nusa Penida (pulaunya) dari Sanur, perjalanan sekitar 45 menitan. Kalau langsung ke pulaunya sih satu pil antimo bisa lah tahan mabok. Tapi kalau mau diving/snorkeling trip 3 lokasi ya kehidupan di kapal setidaknya akan dilalui selama kurang lebih 3-4 jam, dengan masa berada di air berkisar kurang lebih 3 jam. Kami naik kapal pukul 8.30 pagi dan kembali ke darat sekitar pukul 15.30. 

Kami mikir, oke pertama kali sebelum ke air maboknya, kedua kali ke sana maboknya setelah diving pertama. Mungkin kita harus coba lagi, siapa tahu maboknya setelah diving kedua lol. Tapi gw rasa, udah cukup lah menyelami lautan Nusa Penida. Udah cukup. 

Tapi All4Diving Sanur ini enak banget dipake jasanya. Go check them out for snorkeling or diving.

Was it worth it? Hell yea! We saw the mantas!!!!

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...

Happiness is ...

Few days ago I met new friends. They are friends of my friend. I helped them for their competition. It's good to know them since the way they think about something is unique and quite close to mine. Until one of them ask me : 'What is happiness for you?' I told them that for me happiness is when I stop compare myself with others and not being compared with anybody else (well, you can compare me with others but don't tell me if you do haha!). I used to compare myself with people. For following their success path might be ok, but for having the same life as theirs who seen successful and happy, I don't think so. So I stop to compare myself with others and it make me feel enough. I feel more relax, since I don't have to pretend or to be somebody else. I feel more 'me' because I only think about me and free to do what I want to do (or to think what I want to think). But one of them said 'For me happiness is when you can breathe, eat, sleep, and p...
