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! :)

From Venice with love

Seperti yang sudah saya tulis di pos sebelumnya , di bulan Juni ini saya akan membahas mengenai Italia. Di pos kali ini, saya akan membagikan pengalaman travelling saya di Venice, kota pertama yang saya kunjungi di Italia. Venice, 30 Juni 2012  Untuk sampai ke Venice, saya menggunakan pesawat Ryan Air dengan tujuan Venice Treviso. Dari airport Treviso, saya menggunakan bis airport ke stasiun kereta Mestre , yaitu stasiun kereta utama dimana kalian bisa dengan mudah menemukan kereta ke Venice. Perjalanan dari airport Venice Treviso ke Mestre memakan waktu sekitar 40 - 50 menit dengan harga tiket bis 7 Euro untuk 1 trip. Kalian bisa membeli tiket bis ini langsung di pesawat atau melalui mesin penjual tiket di airport.

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...
