Indonesian Virus

By
This is what a blogger will do whenever she has a very boring day - post random stuffs on her blog. Since it is random, I decided to write another shorties and just like previous posts (see : shorties), the title is inspired by another K-drama's title (yes, I'm a K-addict) called Beethoven Virus. Despite the randomness - I wish you a pleasant stay while watching reading the story of Indonesian Virus ala Traveler's Passport!

Wisma KBRI Berlin 


Wisma KBRI Berlin
Today, I went to Wisma KBRI Berlin to celebrate the independence day of Indonesia. It was such an amazing day - because it was the first time to be having a national ceremony together with the Ambassador of Indonesia in Germany, Ministers, and also Indonesian citizens who reside in Germany. Plus, if I remembered that the last time I attended a ceremony was in . . . 2008 ?

The podium
The Paskibra


The participants
and
 

The journalists

The ceremony was quite different from the ordinary ceremony which I attended during my school. Beside of the participants - who were dominated with important person (or maybe not?), there were also a choir group from GBI Berlin who sang several traditional songs like Yamko Rambe Yamko and Ibu Pertiwi (wait, what is the title?) and as the bonus for the loyal citizen who spent 2 hours to celebrate the independence day of their country, we got lontong, lemper and kue lumpur for us to be brought back home! Aww.

Indonesian Snacks <3
I felt blessed that I visitted Berlin at the right time. Even though the ceremony lasted for 2 hours, but through this ceremony I was reminded that no matter how far I travel, I am still an Indonesian and Indonesia is always be the real home for us, Indonesian travellers! :)


RR Tour at Wisma KBRI Berlin <3


The story did not end here - because I got the info that KBRI Berlin would held Halal Bi Halal to celebrate Idul Fitri just a minute before I left the building. But, Halal bi Halal was held on August 19th - and at that time I was in Stockholm - and there IS Indonesian embassy also in Stockholm that also is likely to held Halal Bi Halal at the same day. It was getting more interesting when I knew that KBRI Stockholm also held Halal Bi Halal on August 19th. So, let's move forward to August 19th!

Wisma KBRI Stockholm

Entrance to Wisma KBRI Stockholm



Another unbelievable thing that I could experienced during my visit in Stockholm - tasting ketupat sayur + sambal goreng daging + kerupuk udang + kue nastar + keripik singkong and other Indonesian foods! And not to forget - an honour to be able to greet the Ambassador of Indonesia in Swedia (So, I greeted 2 ambassadors in 2 countries in a week!)

The BEST lunch ever in Stockholm!


I was surprised that there are quite numbers of Indonesian in Swedia - even most of them are married with Swedish but still, Swedia is located like on the other part of the world! It was just simply amazing that I could find this large group of Indonesian in Swedia and I also met a Swedish who speaks Indonesian fluently. Wow.





To add the excitement - I could say that our wisma KBRI in Stockholm is a lovely place and feels like a home for us, Indonesian people! The location of the wisma also very nice - it is very green, peaceful and you could see this amazing view from the backyard of Wisma KBRI!



So, have you infected with Indonesian Virus? :)

3 hal yang wajib dilakukan di Venice

By
English version :  3 Things You Have to do in Venice Kota kecil yang terletak di kepulauan kecil di bagian sebelah utara Italia yang terpisah dari pulau utama Itali. Saking kecilnya, kalian tidak dapat menemukan kendaraan bermotor di tengah-tengah kota. Alat transportasi yang biasanya digunakan oleh penduduk adalah perahu dan transport air lainnya. Jalan tersempit yang saya temukan di Venice Venice merupakan sebuah kota yang dihubungkan oleh ratusan kanal yang tersebar di seluruh penjuru kota. Sebagai tambahan, jalan setapak kecil pun membatasi setiap bangunan tua yang terlihat antik dan berwarna warni. Itulah sebagian keindahan dan keunikan dari Venice yang juga menjadi salah satu tujuan wisata bagi wisatawan asing maupun lokal.

All Around Europe : Local Airports Part I

By
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...
