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! :)

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...

I Need A Vacation (to write again) !

By
Oh My God... It's already MARCH, and this is my first post in 2015 ?! Time flies. DAMN. Fast. I really have a hard time to sit somewhere and write in my blog, while I still have lots of topic to be brought from my lo-ng vacation to Germany in 2012 (OH MY GOD, already 2 years ago?) and to USA in 2014 (OH MY GOD, it's almost 1 year ago). I still have a lot of things in my pocket which I would gladly share to you... All I need is a Vacation ... and some encouragement to myself to write again. Oh, wish me luck my fellow travelers! :0 PS: Hopefully, it is not the first and last post as in my post before in 2014. :( HELL, YEAH !

Hello. Again.

By
After all these days and YEARS, hello again blogger and readers!  Millions of things happened to me in the past few years.  New things. New job. New life. And recently, new place to live. (Yeah, I moved to Bali recently)  These hinder me to go back to my laptop, open my blog, and write my stories again.  But, today -- I'll try to sharpen my writing skill again and continue writing those stories kept in draft for a LONG TIME and finished it, one-by-one.  And, man... those drafts, those stories was already 4-5 years ago!  Time flies so fast and I hope my brain could still remember what happened back then. Ha.  As I checked there is new template published, I also decide to make things look newer here.  Hopefully with the change of style, it could give me new motivation to continue this travel blog project.  Wish me luck with the self-motivation!  Btw, happy long weekend, fellas!
