Summer Wave in Thailand + Haulage

Hello, everybody! I just got back from Thailand a week ago. Went there with my grandparents. Yes fellas, you still have a normal ear. My grandparents are already 60 something but they still health and strong, and you should know my grandma more stronger than my mom. She can take a look around Mangga Dua, Mayestik, and Tanah Abang without feels tired hahaha. I just visited Bangkok and Pattaya, too bad i couldn't visit Phuket because it's not on the tour list. But its okay, both of them is quite enough.

When i was in Thailand, i didn't eat anything but fruit. All of them surely know the agricultural system in Thailand is the best in Asian. That's why we always heard durian, rice, guava, and so many fruits with 'bangkok' words lol. I also try foods name Khao Niaw Ma Muang. That means Mango sticky rice. It was sticky rice that called 'ketan' in Indonesia, with mango fruit and coconut sauce on the top. Oh my god, please somebody who's in Thailand bring me thatttt!

On the second day i went to Pattaya. This city reminds me of Bali. I can smell the 'dupa' things (eventhough the smell was not as strong as Bali's dupa) and i could see naked foreign people above the sand on the beach. I also watched Alcazar show that presented a transgender dance show. You have to see the dancer. They're so beautiful! More beautiful that the real woman i think lol.

Great Chocolatte In Belgium

So, after Paris we went to Belgium. We didn't stay in hotel, but in Indonesian Ambassador house (it was Mr. Nadjib Riphat Koesoema). Belgium with Brussels as its capital city, famous with chocolatte (it's hometown of Godiva) and waffel. I was so regret that i didn't take the picture so i couldn't show you, but when you come to this city, you must try both of them!







Hello, Singapore!

Finally, i visited Singapore after 10 years. Long time, huh? Hmm, my dad is kind of type people who wouldn't go to same country again and again. Once is enough, he said. But, in my opinion Singapore now is the closest place to buy make up from Sephora. Yes, since Sephora closed their store in Hong Kong and decided to move to Singapore.

Me and my family (minus dad) went there in the morning, around 9am with the cheapest flight (you know the airline's name). It's my first time traveled with this airline, and when i take a look at the inside aeroplane i thought price equals quality, really. But it's fine, because it's just 1,5 hours flight.

Minus dad, and brother as a photographer







We spent holiday for 3 days and it's not enough! I missed Sentosa Island, Marina Bay, and Bugis Junction (since that day, i promise i will save half of my money to go to Singapore with my friends). I just went to Universal Studio and in the afternoon, it's rain! Luckily, i almost finish try all of games and attraction.

In Sephora, i just bought red lipstain and Bobbi Brown Pencil Liner. I spent my money to bought accessories in Universal :') On the next day, we went to Merlion and Vivo city.

Bounjour, Paris!

After 3 days in Swiss, i went to Paris by bus (again) and it takes 3 hours. As long as the journey to Paris, i saw vineyard at right and cow farm at left. The cow color is not black and white, but it's brown and white. I tasted the steak there but... it's the worst steak- imean, the worst meat i've ever tasted ( desolee, Francais!). But seriously, the meat was too soggy for me.

I stayed in Paris for 3 days and visited Eiffel Tower, Musee de Louvre, and duty free in Paris. Is that so? Yap. Boring? Absolutely! Seriously, if i have a chance to go there this year, i will go to St. Barts, Lyon, and maybe Monaco.

The best item that i purchased is Aquolina Sugar Pink Perfume. It smells so dark brown sugar, sweet but if you spray it too much, you will dont like it, trust me.











Freezing in Switzerland

After Italy, we went to Switzerland by bus. It was just 4 hours straight from Italy. When i came, the weather's so cold for Indonesian. Cooler than in Italy, maybe it's about 10 degrees celcius. Switzerland's great! People who already came to New Zealand said NZ and Swiss was just the same.

Already 9 pm but its still bright

Romantic Venice & Verona

Actually, Venice still in Italy but in different Islan. Hmm, it's like Tidung Island in Indonesia. People said Paris is a romantic city, but for me Venice and Verona are. When i go there, the weather's cold, about 10 - 12 degrees. I visited glass museum and diamond museum. One thing that i always regret is i didn't buy their traditional broadway mask. I saw the mask in Jakarta but the price, oh god it's more than 1 million where i can get it in Italy just for 12 euro :(









Holla, Italiano!

  Year 2000 is the first time i went abroad. It's Singapore, for sure. I went there with my family. Sadly, we didn't bring pocket camera and phone camera hadn't exist yet on that era. My dad just brought handycam and we've already lost the cassette :(

  I'm not gonna talk about Singapore, but i will talk about my trip to Italy. It was the first time i went outside Asia. It was in 2008 and i visited 7 country. I will talked one by one, and because i arrived at Italy from Jakarta, Indonesia, i will wrote about Italy first.


 Dubai Airport, before we landed in Italy, we should transit in Dubai International Airport

 
 Arrived in Italy :) When we arrived, it's about 8am which means it's still 3am in Jakarta. The weather's 14 degrees



  For your information, i'm a huge fan of McDonald's, so everytime i went abroad i will always find mcD because every country has different menus. In italy, they had Gelato as their side dish, but in France they had macaroons.  The most delicious McD in my opinion is in Sydney. They had Berry Smoothies and it's really healthy.

Sightseeing in front of Piazza del Duomo



The truth is, i was afraid with pigeons around me!







Aperto means 'open' in Italy

This is Devanda, it's a baby boy! The first time i saw him i thought he's a girl lol

In front of the famous Pisa Tower

In front of Vatican Church
   Actually, Vatican isn't include Italy because they are another country inside Italy. Vatican is big as Kota Tua at North Jakarta -- maybe little bigger.



Collosseum, Roma




Fontana di Trevi

Enjoyed delicious Gelato. My fave are mint and peach
