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 : Trains in Germany

By
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...

Train's Dignity

By
Another shorties for today! Since I really love my first shorties' title (see : That Winter, The Lake Freezes ), for today's post, the title is inspired from the K-drama titled " Gentleman's Dignity " - a drama starring Jang Dong Gun, Kim Ha Neul and Kim So Ro. I will not write more about the drama since this is the travel blog, not a drama blog AND this is not the reason why I write this post today. RR Tour: The First Trip - Netherlands Actually, I write this post to commemorate the first journey of RR Tour in Europe that was on April 6th 2012 - which was TODAY - one year ago . Netherlands and Paris were our RR Tour 2012 first destination. Why? Because I heard from my friends that April is the best time for me to visit Keukeunhof which is located in Netherlands. And, since Paris is located only hours away from Netherlands, I could go to both place on my Easter holiday. Since I was still a newbie in planning the budget for travel, I thought th...

24 Jam di Paris

By
Menyambung kisah perjalanan pertama dari RR Tour di Eropa , sekarang saya akan membagikan cerita perjalanan singkat saya di Paris - yang terjadi TEPAT 1 tahun yang lalu, yaitu pada tanggal 8 dan 9 April 2012. Selamat datang di Menara Eiffel  Seperti yang sudah saya ceritakan di post sebelumnya, untuk perjalanan pertama ini saya memegang prinsip - memilih yang termurah  = pilihan  terbaik . Jadi, beginilah cerita saya ketika berjalan-jalan di Paris dengan memegang prinsip - carilah yang termurah . *** Jam ke-1: Terminal, Hotel, dan Metro Perjalanan dari Belanda ke Paris memakan waktu sekitar 5 - 6 jam dengan menggunakan bis. Saya berangkat pada siang hari dan sampai di terminal bis Eurolines di Paris sekitar pukul 6 - 7 malam. Hal menarik yang hanya bisa kalian temukan apabila memilih transportasi bis, kalian bisa melewati kota menawan yang tidak termasuk ke dalam tujuan kalian, sebagai contoh - Brussel. Saya bisa melihat sebagian kecil bangunan menarik d...
