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! :)

Hostel Review : Camping Village Jolly

By
In June, I am planning to write a lot about my journey to Italy which was . . . exactly a year ago. So, as a starting post, I would like to share a hostel review of Camping Village Jolly . :)  Camping Village Jolly is a backpacker "home" for those travelling to Venice. It is located in the mainland and it takes around 15 minutes long journey from the nearest bus stop to Venice.  Camping Jolly to Venice on google maps The nearest bus stop is 15 minutes away from the Village, but if you are too tired to walk, Camping Village Jolly provides shuttle bus service. You have to check the shuttle schedule once you land your feet in Camping Village Jolly and book it right away - because it is limited! Also, you have to spend your Euro if you want to use the shuttle bus service. I forgot how much it is, but it should cost less than 5 Euros. :)  Note from me: if you take the night shuttle service, the bus stops in Tronchento and you could not go there without using...

Berkeliling Roma ala "Angels and Demons"

By
Dalam edisi pos hari ini, saya akan membahas tentang kota Roma, Italia.  Saya akan memfokuskan pos ini pada beberapa tempat yang sempat terekam di dalam film "Angels and Demons"  Film "Angels and Demons" menceritakan tentang seseorang bernama Robert Langdon yang ingin menguak soal Illuminati, sebuah organisasi yang hendak menghancurkan Vatican. Dalam ceritanya, Vatican sedang dalam proses pemilihan Paus dari 4 kardinal, oleh karena kematian Paus yang sebelumnya. Masalah dimulai ketika keempat kardinal tiba-tiba diculik oleh pengikut Illuminati dan mereka mengancam akan membunuh kardinal tersebut satu per satu di tempat yang tidak diketahui. Saat inilah Robert Langdon dipanggil oleh pihak Vatican untuk menyelamatkan kardinal-kardinal yang diculik dari kelompok Illuminati. Berbekal dengan pengetahuannya tentang Illuminati, Robert Langdon memulai pencarian kardinal-kardinal di kota Roma.  Dan, dari sinilah perjalanan Robert Langdon dimulai. :)  Berangkat dari...
