Postcard #1: Vatican

By
The one and only post office in Vatican
Postcards and travelling are so closely related.

I learned it for the first time when my friend told me that she has sent many postcards to Indonesia while she was staying in Germany. I laughed at her at first but the more I travel, I realized that even though postcards do not too popular in Indonesia, but it IS in other countries. And, postcards are the CHEAPEST authentic souvenirs you could buy wherever you are travelling!

From this, I get an idea to write about my postcards in Traveler's Passport. It might look so boring, but I hope through this post I could spread the "postcards fever" to all travelers around the world!

So, here is my first postcard in Europe - the one originated from Vatican. I sent it on July 2nd, 2012 from post office in Vatican.

The price for each postcard is around 50 cent - 1 Euro and the stamps costed around 1.60 Euro.



Since it was the first time, I sent three postcards to Indonesia and took picture from each of them! :)

Hostel Review : Camping Village Jolly

By
In June, I am planning to write a lot about my journey to Italy which was . . . exactly a year ago. So, as a starting post, I would like to share a hostel review of Camping Village Jolly . :)  Camping Village Jolly is a backpacker "home" for those travelling to Venice. It is located in the mainland and it takes around 15 minutes long journey from the nearest bus stop to Venice.  Camping Jolly to Venice on google maps The nearest bus stop is 15 minutes away from the Village, but if you are too tired to walk, Camping Village Jolly provides shuttle bus service. You have to check the shuttle schedule once you land your feet in Camping Village Jolly and book it right away - because it is limited! Also, you have to spend your Euro if you want to use the shuttle bus service. I forgot how much it is, but it should cost less than 5 Euros. :)  Note from me: if you take the night shuttle service, the bus stops in Tronchento and you could not go there without using...

Parthenon, kuil para dewa

By
Ada yang pernah dengar tentang "Parthenon" ? "Parthenon" ini biasanya banyak dibahas di film-film yang berlatar belakang cerita dewa-dewi Yunani, seperti Zeus, Athena, Poseidon dan dewa-dewi lainnya. Hal ini dikarenakan "Parthenon" adalah sebutan untuk kuil para dewa-dewi yang berada di Akropolis, Yunani dan dibangun sebagai penghormatan untuk dewi Athena. Bangunan "Parthenon" ini dibangun pada tahun 447 SM dan selesai pada tahun 438 SM. Hal yang membuatnya menarik adalah detail dari setiap pahatan dan dekorasi yang dianggap memiliki nilai seni yang tinggi - mengingat kalau bangunan ini dibangun di tahun 447 SM. Sayangnya, bangunan ini sempat di bom pada tahun 1687 dan merusak hampir seluruh bangunan. Dikarenakan kerusakan yang cukup parah, ditambah dengan struktur bangunan yang rumit, membuat proses perbaikan dari bangunan ini masih berlangsung hingga sekarang. Dikarenakan sejarahnya yang panjang, Parthenon merupakan salah satu tujuan w...

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...
