Traveler's Passport

After all these days and YEARS, hello again blogger and readers!  Millions of things happened to me in the past few years.  New things. New job. New life. And recently, new place to live. (Yeah, I moved to Bali recently)  These hinder me to go back to my laptop, open my blog, and write my stories again.  But, today -- I'll try to sharpen my writing skill again and continue writing those stories kept in draft for a LONG TIME and finished it, one-by-one.  And, man... those drafts, those stories was already 4-5 years ago!  Time flies so fast and I hope my brain could still remember what happened back then.

I just, go. And this is what Dreamland offered to entertain my eyes, my soul and my mind. Beautiful. Dreamland, paradise in Bali :) I am sorry that I underestimate your existence, dear Dreamland. :) So, are you excited and want to get more information about this wonderful beach? You visit the right place! Sands, rocks, seaweeds are best experienced with BAREFOOT :)  *** Dreamland is located inside the P...

Satu kata untuk menggambarkan tahun 2012. UNBELIEVABLE. Awal 2012 dimulai dengan 18 jam duduk manis di dalam pesawat, melihat salju untuk yang pertama kalinya, merasakan dingin sampai -18 Celcius di Jerman, dan juga merasakan panas sampai 36 Celcius di Roma, melihat kemegahan menara Eiffel, mengetahui bahwa tidak semua negara di Eropa itu bersih dan teratur, melangkah nekat ke negeri berbahasa ajaib Yunani, Hungaria, Ceko dan Polandia, merasakan euforia piala Eropa langsung di negaranya, melihat sunset dari atas gondola di Venice, menonton konser musik klasik pertama di Musik Verein Vienna, melihat langsung kuburan Rasul Petrus di Necropolis Vatican, menelusuri tembok Berlin, mengikuti upacara 17 Agustus di KBRI Berlin, menikmati sambel goreng daging dan kerupuk udang di Stockholm, dan juga melihat penderitaan orang Yahudi di Concentration Camp, Auschwitz. Ya, 2012 merupakan tahun travelling terbesar saya sejauh ini. Oleh karena itu, untuk merayakannya saya akan me-recap se...
