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! :)

The Heaven on Earth, Hallstatt

There was a small wooden boat - waited for me and took me to the heaven . . . on earth. Heaven on earth - that is the best words to describe how awesome this place is. A placed called Hallstatt . I could say that Hallstatt is one of the most beautiful places I have ever found and I am so lucky, that I could visit this place - at least once in life (though, I promise to myself that I WILL visit this place again!) As the first english post in Traveler's Passport , I decided to translate my previous post about Hallstatt (see, Surga Dunia, Hallstatt ) because this post currently holds the most view in this blog. So, I hope by re-write it in English, there will be more people know about this awesome place! Before I move further, please pardon my English as it is my second language and I am still learning how to write a good English article. :) Let's sail to Hallstatt, travelers! Location. Hallstatt is a small village located in the West Austria - ne...

Museum Vatikan yang tak berujung!

Setelah selesai mengikuti Scavi Tour di St. Peter's Basilica, saya melanjutkan perjalanan ke Museum Vatikan. Museum ini merupakan museum terpenting yang ada di Vatikan dan di tempat inilah kalian bisa melihat secara langsung lukisan Michael Angelo yang super terkenal, The Creation of Adam . Lukisan ini merupakan salah satu lukisan yang dilukis di dinding Sistine Chapel - ruangan terakhir di Museum Vatikan. Jadi, untuk kalian yang ingin melihat lukisan ini, sudah wajib untuk mengunjungi Museum Vatikan. :) *** Museum Vatikan terletak di sisi lain dari Excavation office dan memiliki pintu masuk terpisah. Jadi, saya harus keluar dahulu kemudian memutari tembok pemisah Vatikan untuk bisa masuk ke dalam Museum Vatikan. Walaupun negeri ini kecil, tapi perjalanan memutari tembok cukup menghabiskan tenaga. (Jangan lupa, temperature udara hari itu yang masih berkisar 34 - 36 derajat Celcius.) Setelah berjalan cepat (untuk menghindari terik matahari), akhirnya saya dan teman-tema...

Two Girls who Embrace the Sea

Shorties terakhir dari Yunani untuk menutup bulan Mei. Setelah belajar bahasa Yunani , berkeliling di Athena , menjajaki Parthenon dan terakhir mencoba kuliner khas Yunani , saatnya kita beranjak ke laut Aegean yang juga menyimpan jutaan pesona dari negara Yunani. Sesuai dengan judulnya, " Two Girls who Embrace the Sea ", saya akan bercerita tentang perjalanan RR tour ke laut, yaitu laut Aegean. Seperti shorties sebelumnya, judul ini terinspirasi dari drama Korea yang berjudul " The Moon that Embraces the Sun ." :) Pemandangan laut Aegean Belum lengkap ke Yunani kalau kalian belum mencoba berlayar di laut Aegean. Itulah hal pertama yang diungkapkan oleh orang lokal Yunani yang saya temui di Belanda. Pertama, saya tidak berniat untuk berlayar, karena waktu kunjungan saya yang singkat dan faktor biaya perahu - yang saya kira akan menguras dompet saya. Untunglah saya bertemu dengan orang Yunani dan ia menceritakan banyak hal menarik dan tentu saja menyara...
