2012 Year End Review

Satu kata untuk menggambarkan tahun 2012. UNBELIEVABLE.

Awal 2012 dimulai dengan 18 jam duduk manis di dalam pesawat, melihat salju untuk yang pertama kalinya, merasakan dingin sampai -18 Celcius di Jerman, dan juga merasakan panas sampai 36 Celcius di Roma, melihat kemegahan menara Eiffel, mengetahui bahwa tidak semua negara di Eropa itu bersih dan teratur, melangkah nekat ke negeri berbahasa ajaib Yunani, Hungaria, Ceko dan Polandia, merasakan euforia piala Eropa langsung di negaranya, melihat sunset dari atas gondola di Venice, menonton konser musik klasik pertama di Musik Verein Vienna, melihat langsung kuburan Rasul Petrus di Necropolis Vatican, menelusuri tembok Berlin, mengikuti upacara 17 Agustus di KBRI Berlin, menikmati sambel goreng daging dan kerupuk udang di Stockholm, dan juga melihat penderitaan orang Yahudi di Concentration Camp, Auschwitz.

Ya, 2012 merupakan tahun travelling terbesar saya sejauh ini. Oleh karena itu, untuk merayakannya saya akan me-recap seluruh moment travelling di tahun 2012.

All Around Europe : Trains in Germany

Back to All Around Europe series! For today's post, I would like to share the information about the train in Germany as train is one of the main public transportation in Germany and it is always essential for us, travelers to know the transportation systems in our destination country. Driven from my experiences, I got confused about the types of trains in Germany because there are many types of train in Germany and I did not know what are the differences between each of them. Therefore, I hope this post could help you to get to know the types of trains in Germany! The Hohenzollen bridge, Cologne, Germany. ICE (Inter-City Express) The fastest train in town - with top speed up to 300 km/h! You could choose this train for a long journey travelling because it is very comfortable (especially 1. class) and the train only stops in the main train station. With a great service, no wonder if you have to pay more for ICE tickets compared with other train types. Howev...

All Around Europe : Local Airports Part I

This post is dedicated to all European budget airlines lovers! Airport - is the important place. This is where our travelling starts and ended. If we could not know where is the airport and how to get to the airport, than our travelling will be a mess. Since I travel a lot with European budget airline, I have to invest more time to look for the information regarding the airports used in budget airports, especially the location and how to get there (most important!). Most of the budget airline (esp. Ryan Air) are using local airports which is located far (away) from the city. Beside the location, these local airports also do not have varieties of public transportation access. Therefore, I decided to compile the information regarding these-out-of-nowhere local airports in Europe. I hope it could help all European budget airlines lovers! :) After did some listing, I realised there will be too much information here - that might make you explode. Therefore, I decided to d...

Traveler's Notes : Souvenirs, any ideas?

Sebagai orang Indonesia, sudah lumrah hukumnya memberikan oleh-oleh untuk kerabat setelah pergi liburan panjang. Apalagi kalau kita berlibur hingga ke luar negeri - wah, wah, pasti banyak kerabat yang akan menagih oleh-oleh sepulangnya kalian ke tanah air. Untuk kalian yang bingung mau beli oleh-oleh unik apa, semoga list berikut dapat memberikan kalian pencerahan: 1. Puzzle Di beberapa tempat, mereka menjual puzzle bergambarkan landmark kota / negaranya untuk dibawa pulang oleh para turis. Sebagai pecinta puzzle, saya senang sekali ketika menemukan puzzle berlatarkan Hallstatt ketika saya berkunjung ke Hallstatt. Tidak kalah dari Hallstatt, saya juga membeli puzzle Neuschwanstein (the one I treasured the most!) dengan ukuran 1 meter ketika saya berkunjung ke kastil dongeng itu. Mau coba beli untuk oleh-oleh? Puzzle Neuschwanstein di paling belakang (it's 1000 pieces!) 2. Secret Box Hungary Yang satu ini, cukup tricky. Secret Box ini saya temukan ketika sedang berja...
