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! :)

From Rome with Laugh and Sweat

By
Selamat pagi dari Roma!  Setelah menikmati sunset di gondola , bermalam di rumah musim panas , dan menghabiskan 6 jam tak terlupakan di kereta , sekarang saya akan menceritakan perjalanan di kota Roma - yang sering disebut sebagai ibukota dunia. :) Somehow, I just love this photo <3   *** Perjalanan saya dan teman-teman di Roma dimulai dengan pencarian Fontana di Trevi - Trevi Fountain or bahasa Indonesianya   air mancur Trevi .  Piazza Republica Dari apartment, kita menggunakan metro ke Piazza Republica , karena tidak ada metro yang langsung menuju Trevi. Alhasil, dari Piazza Republica kalian perlu berjalan sekitar 10 - 15 menit untuk akhirnya bisa sampai ke Trevi Fountain .  Trevi Fountain yang super keren <3 Jujur, saya langsung merinding waktu pertama kali melihat Trevi Fountain. It is realllllllyyy beautiful - bahkan lebih keren dari yang ditayangkan di TV atau film atau bahkan di setiap foto yang saya...
