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! :)

All Around Europe : Grocery Stores

By
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 ...

Hujan Coklat di Rosenmontag Karneval !

By
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013 TRAVELERS !  Di hari pertama di tahun 2013 - masih dengan semarak tahun baru, saya ingin membagikan pengalaman saya yang tidak kalah seru dengan perayaan tahun baru - yaitu ketika saya mengikuti festival Rosenmontag di kota Cologne (Köln), Jerman tahun 2012 lalu. Festival Rosenmontag, Cologne, Jerman February 2012 Rosenmontag - dalam bahasa Inggris disebut Rose Monday , kalau dalam bahasa Indonesia berarti Senin Mawar (hmm - aneh ya). Festival ini merupakan festival terbesar yang diadakan di negara Jerman tiap tahunnya - yaitu pada saat Shrove Monday (ada yang tahu apa istilah Indonesianya?). Highlight dari festival ini adalah hujan coklat dan bunga  - it's REAL CHOCOLATEs and FLOWERS - yang disertai dengan iringan marching band dan juga tari-tarian. Coklat dan bunga dilemparkan oleh peserta karnival ke seluruh penduduk kota yang ikut merayakan festival ini. Jadi, salah kalau kalian pikir hujan coklat dan bunga itu hanya te...

Menjelajahi Eropa Tengah Part II-A : Museum Auschwitz

By
Menyambung dari pos  Menjelajahi Eropa Tengah Part I : Budapest , sekarang saya akan membagikan pengalaman saya ketika berkunjung ke negara Polandia . Berhubung informasi yang ingin saya bagikan (tanpa disangka) cukup banyak, maka pos mengenai Polandia ini akan saya bagi menjadi 2 bagian - A dan B. Di Part A , saya akan membagikan beberapa informasi mengenai Polandia dan juga perjalanan saya ke Museum Auschwitz . Sedangkan di Part B , saya akan memfokuskan tentang kota Krakow dan Tambang Garam di Wieliczka. Negara : Polandia Ibukota : Warsaw Bahasa : Polski Mata uang : Zloty (PLN) Tidak seperti di Budapest, kunjungan saya di Polandia berlangsung (sedikit) lebih panjang, yaitu selama 2 hari. Mengingat negara Polandia yang cukup besar, tentu saja 2 hari tidak cukup untuk mengunjungi banyak tempat di negara antik ini. Di tambah lagi jarak dari 1 kota ke kota lainnya cukup jauh dan memakan waktu, saya memutuskan untuk menghabiskan waktu saya di ko...
