Postcard #1: Vatican

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! :)

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 : Grocery Stores

It is time to add another post for All Around Europe series . For today, I would like to review several grocery stores in Europe. The reviews will be based on my own Shopping O'meter scale and everything written here is based on my own experiences and opinions. :) #1 Shopping O'meter scale : The place where everything could be found, touched, felt, seen, and of course bought - whenever you need it, or not. :) Comments : Since Kaufland is only 5 minutes away from my office, I often do my grocery shopping here. The shopping area is big. The price is relatively low compared with others. The quality equals to what you paid. A suggested place to kill your boring time. #2 Shopping O'meter scale : Emergency grocery store for those who forget that shops are closed at 6 PM in Europe. Comments : I often do my grocery shopping here because this is the last grocery store that still open until 10 ...

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. Untuk saya personal, Venice merupakan salah satu kota terindah yang pernah saya kunjungi selama saya di Eropa. Venice is just too beautiful to be true. Banyak hal yang dapat kalian lakukan di kota kecil ini namun, ada 3 hal yang wajib ...
