Gianyar Point HoopHoopBeachLovers After make a long time discussion and with the HoopHoopBeachLovers. We decided to visited Gianyar Area. 1st Destination is Blue Lagoon Bali. Blue Lagoon Is located near Padang Bay Horbour. Just go to the left side. When we were come to the location, its quite disappointed because the rubbish along the beach destroy the views. Mostly people come to this location for snorkeling. I tried snorkeling in this beach. There were so many fish but unfortunately the coral not so colorful as I thought, but well yes...not so bad. I chould give mark 60 from 100 hahaha. I took small peaces of bread inside water and gave to the fishes. They like it so much and keep surrounding me around. 2nd Destination White sand beach This beach also near Padang Bay Harbour. Just go to the right after 2 minutes in the left side. But Need a long way to get the beach. Here is the picture below... It was so hot and 10 minutes to get the beaches. But it's very g...

My First IELTS examination, the story of stupid decision

-
For someone who interested in study abroad like me, I must get band score level 6.5 in IELTS. Within such a big ambition the story goes... I am self study learner and I believe in all process in life... Without enough preparation (seriously only 7 days!) I dared my self to do IELTS examination at Denpasar Bali, it is located at Sesetan street. It Sounds like I kill my self with this, because I pay a lot of money, it was about $ 220 or Rp. 2.500.000. But I do need that urgently because I want to apply some scholarship for my Phd next year. So I must started from now. I said to my self "This is such a biggest mistake ever that I have tried if I failed in it" But no matter what, I have to try!!. Then... one day before examination... I tried to sleep good, but I couldn't I am so nervous for the examination. I woke up many times!Even I had bad dreams. On the day examination... As a "newbie"...I didn't know what to do in the first time I came. Luckily I ...

Pink Beach Lombok

-
Image
My first blog.. The picture of Pink Beach Lombok from the left hills Pink beach is such a magnificence place that surrounded by natural forest. The local people was named pink beach because the sand reflects pink color. From Selong,which is main city in east Lombok you can drive motor bike around 3 hours. The best time to visit this fabulous beach especially in the morning time around 10 am until 3 pm, because when the skies is cloudy and the radiance of the sun is getting less, the sands doesn't look pink anymore. This second time i came to this beach I used to snorkeling and I can say that this is on of the best site for snorkeling in Indonesia so far

Cerita Seru

Experience Sleeping Train Ho Chi Min to Danang and Meet the Typhoon

-
Image
November, 2018 Perjalanan dari Ho chi Min ke Hoi An cukup mencekam. Bagaimana tidak...saya rasanya seumur-umur belum pernah tuh pada saat itu naek sleeping train yang artinya keretanya pada jam malam dan sampai pagi. Oh iya, kereta langsung ke Hoi An gak ada, jadi harus naek kereta dari Ho Chi Minh ke Danang dengan waktu sekitar 17 jam dengan jarak hampir 935 km dengan harga sangat mahal sekitar $62 atau sekitar Rp. 750.000 rupiahlah. Sleeping train yang saya naikin awalnya untuk 6 orang dalam 1 ruangan, artiya ada 6 bed. Kalo untuk orang ASIA macam saya sih muat-muat aja, tapi kalo untuk orang asing yang berbadan besar rasanya akan sangat menderita dengan perjalanan lama dan ruang yang sempit. Sebenarnya yang 4 bed gak jauh beda ama yang 6 bed harganya...sekitar Rp. 50.000 lah...cuman karena pada saat saya booking tiketnya cuman dapet yang 6 berth. Tempat penyimpanan barang 3 berth ukuran ASIA hahaha..sempit! ruangan saya pindah ke 4 berth dengan space yang le...

Hal-hal ajaib di Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Selama di Ho Chi Minh, saya banyak banget menemukan kejadian yang lucu dan ajaib menurut versi saya. 1. Ketagihan Don Chicken Hahah, ini cerita lain di Ho chi Minh...Saya bukannya mau promosi tempat ini loh..lagian gak dibayar. Kejadian lucu karena saya belum pernah makan ayam seenak ini loh...gak dimana-mana. Rasanya pedes manis nagih gitu dan saya juga suka banget ama hot pot rice. Untuk makanan bernam hot pot rice ini, penampakannya dan rasaya hampir mirip kayak nasi goreng. Hanya saja ada tempat mug khusus yang emang dibikin panas kayak hot plate gitu. Sejak makan di Don Chicken secara gak sengaja ini, saya sampai nyari ke Hanoi. Tempat makan ini berupa makanan siap saji dan punya cabang dimana-mana. Harus dicoba! Hot Pot Rice, Don Chicken -Meet Indomie!! Sebagai warga negara Indonesia saya rasnya sangattttttttttttttt bangga....Ceile segitunya hahaha. Bagaimana tidak bangga kalo mie yang biasa kita makan yang bernama Indomie yang ternyata buatan Indonesi...

Chu Chi Tunnel, Perjalanan ke masa lalu Vietnam yang kelam

-
Image
Trip Chu Chi Tunnel ini juga menjadi salah satu trip yang paling saya sukai di Ho Chi Minh. Perjalanan dari Saigon lumayan jauh...sekitar 2 ato 3 jam, sampe butek deh di jalan..yang saya inget adalah setengah perjalanan kita stop disuatu tempat untuk liat-liat kerajinan dari cangkang telur dan kulit kerang. Dan orang-orang yang kerja adalah orang-orang disability ..Kita stop selama 15 menit buat istirahat disini...Trus naek bus lagi ke chu chi tunnel. Hasil kerajinan  Diagram Pembuatan Kerajinan Hasil kerajinan yang keren banget Kerajinan cangkang telur, menarik! Bubuk Cangkang Telur Chu Chi tunnel ini merupakan bukti sejarah dalam perjuangan bangsa Vietnam ketika berperang melawan Amerika. Ketika peperangan terjadi, bangsa Vietnam tidak memiliki persenjataan yang canggih dan banyak seperti negara Amerika, akhirnya mereka harus berperang secara gerilya dan membangun terowongan sejauh ribuan mil. Terowongan ini digali dengan menggunakan tangan d...

Wet in Hoi An....The city of Lantern, Vietnam

Jangan bayangin cerita Vulgar ya.Kejadian ini nyata, benar adanya. Karena kedatangan saya ke Hoi An pada saat itu disambut dengan banjir yang cukup membuat basah (November, 2017).   Wait, mungkin saya harus bercerita dulu nih tentang Hoi An supaya kesana tidak cuma karena ingin melihat lentera saja.  Hoi An atau Faifoo yang ternyata artinya adalah "tempat pertemuan damai" merupakan salah satu warisan budaya dunia sejak tahun 1999 oleh UNESCO. Pada abad ke 15 sampe abad ke 19 kota ini merupakan salah satu pelabuhan di ASIA tenggara yang masih terjaga dengan sangat baik yang bangunannya merupakan perpaduan antara budaya lokal dan budaya asing dan yang paling terkenal disini adalah "Japanish Bridge" yang dibangun pada abad ke 16 . Bagi saya, kota ini adalah kota tua yang penuh dengan lentera disana sini, ketika malam terutama....indah dan romantis banget (pastinya kalo gak banjir hahaha). Ketika mata baru terbangun dari rasa lelah akibat perjalanan seabad...

Hue lokasinya ada pas ditengah-tengah negara Vietnam dan dulunya merupakan kota utama di Vietnam bagi keluarga kerajaan Nguyen pada abad ke 18 sampe abad ke 19.Hue merupakan pusat kota dari segi politik, agama dan kebudayaan.
