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! :)

Postcard #4 : Salzburg

Welcome May! We are almost in the first half of 2013 and it has been a year since my first visit to Salzburg - time flies! So, here is another postcard that I bought from Salzburg. :) I forgot about the price for each, but I think it should be cheap - around 30 - 50 cents. The Salzburg city at night, the Sound of Music filming location and the famous Mirabell Garden And not to forget, Salzburg is the hometown of the famous classic artist - Amadeus Mozart ! If you want to know more about Salzburg, you could read my previous post - Berpetualang di Kota Musik, Salzburg .

I cannot not wanting to visiting you again, spend more days or weeks there. I hope to see you again, Stockholm. Sooner or later. Someday.

The Dark and Shining Berlin

I suuupperrr love the title spun (and also the drama - The Lonely and Shining Goblin). Ha. Di Shorties kali ini, saya ingin menceritakan 1 Day trip ke Berlin, ibukota Jerman. Sebagai fans tim sepakbola Jerman, saya sudah ngefans banget sama Jerman dan mimpi masa SD saya itu mengunjungi Berlin dan melihat Berlin Wall! Saya bingung kenapa saya gak bahas trip ke Berlin ini lebih awal. Well, better late (by 5 years) than never. Ok, let's go to see that Dark and Shining Berlin. Di salah satu kawasan Tembok Berlin *** Berlin. Sebagai ibukota sebuah negara maju, tidak aneh banyak hal yang WOW yang saya temukan di Berlin. Tapi, dibalik kemegahannya, saya lebih tertarik melihat sejarah bagaimana perubahan kota ini, yang dulunya sempat terpecah menjadi Berlin Barat dan Timur. Petualangan saya dimulai dari gerbang Brandenburg (bhs Jerman: Brandenburger Tor). Berdasarkan sejarah, gerbang ini dibangun untuk melambangkan kedamaian dan semenjak itu, Uni Eropa menggunakan...
