Italy (Late) Post

Hey hey! I was pretty off the grid huh? Well, I've been pretty lazy diggin Blogger cause the photo uploading is lame everytime. Just to keep you interested, I headed to Italy from June 1st - 4th closing my first Euro Trip ever. The trip itself was pretty insane. Yet, I had a lot of fun indeed. Catching the trains from Milan-Pisa-Rome-back to Milan again. Exhausting! But every effort got paid off. Italy is a stunner! I have no wonder why every human being all over the world would do anything to get to Italy. Every beauty has a flaw at least. I didn't expect even close that people would have been a little rough. I was walking with a Finnish friend but I mostly had the less treating from the locals. Hmm, I somewhat wonder what makes Europeans a little racist?
However, I had great foods, great landscapes, and a great traveling. I just enjoyed every capture of Italy. For your record, I've finally gotten my Bachelor degree :)

The Historical Berlin (Germany)

Up awake at 4:30 in the morning. Just actually finished writing another part of my Bachelor's thesis and hoping that I'll pull that off. Popped up in my mind to jog down another Euro Trip tale. Ending up last month with the trip to Germany which was settled a month away before, 2 Korean buds and I made it to Berlin. Was never as interested as before I had made it. Berlin was unique to me. Apart from other posh cities in Europe, Berlin is pretty informative. If you know the history about Berlin, it may take your whole attention discovering the city. Sadly said, I hadn't had any idea til I was explained that shit on a tour. Gota say that Berlin was quite memorable and everything was affordable regarding the other collapsed European countries. Was expecting the locals would be harsh but they were actually good. The local food may not be various other than Turkish cuisines and curry sausages. That's pretty much it I guess.

It's one month matter for leaving Czech Republic and having the Euro Trip done. Time just flies so fast! The saddest moment will be just leaving Zlin with its memory. I just don't know when I will make it again  coming over here. Yet, I will want to travel around the world. I guess I'm not that ready leaving my independence. One thing for sure, Zlin will always be in my heart.





This was the most controversial issue of Russian leader in that period

Outstanding NL

Haven't been around forever! I got lazy digging stuff on blog last weeks. Honestly, I got a lot to tell including the continuation of my Euro trip. On the first weekend in March, I made it to Netherlands. Thanks to internet for connecting people around the world in existence. Well, I have been friends with a Dutch guy through online for ages but I hadn't had a chance to see him in person. Once I decided to come over while I've been in Czech Republic, I told him. He was like super glad that he proposed me to stay at his house instead. For real, it was such a privilege. Living with a local host without spending more money for accommodation.
I learned a lot about the Dutch culture and I'm really into the culture! They appreciate freedom without harming others. 3 rules of being Dutch said by the tour guide:
  1. Live free
  2. Don't harm other people
  3. Make money
I've been to 3 cities in Netherlands including the city where my friend lives at. Most of the things are pricey but they are all worthy. The government take quite high taxes but they give them back to fine constructions. Diverse cultures are really exquisite there and people greet to each other. Obviously, Netherlands is one of my fav places to visit. I don't mind coming over for hundred times.


One of the windmills at Neerloon



This reminded me of Hogwarts' train station. Well yes, Netherlands somehow looks like England



Hands down for the concern of public places (y)


Amsterdam Centraal Station. Captivated much?




Loads of canals ^^



Home of bikes



Loving the white tulips ♥



I used to get Apple Pie at BK store but apparently the genuine one is just the best!



The finest one



Don't get wrong but all the coffeeshops in NL are meant to provide some pot. People get high in public is a common thing and all the paths around smell like pot ; )



Hehe :D Remember Spongebob?



Good profit to start such a business there



I was so amazed by lots of Indonesian shops over there when I already started missing my home



Indonesians absolutely recognize this name regarding the history in the past



then heading out to a local restaurant getting a piece of Apple Pie. Yummy in my tummy! :9



The last day of weekend in a city called Eindhoven to catch up the flight in the early morning. Eindhoven is a piece of art. The buildings are insanely GORGEOUS!



Never crossed in mind that it was a clothing store :O



Peeps, I'm going to leave 3,5 months more. Honestly, I have been missing home for the past 3 months. Just to be surrounded by Indonesian speaking is the thing that I'm longing. Being home in particular. I don't know if I will ever make it coming back here. For sure, I'm not going to live in Indonesia for the whole life. Ending up my Euro trip, Germany and Italy are already covered then heading back to Indonesia and finishing the phase of school. GAH! In the bottom of the heart, I don't want to leave the school life. I'll see you later I guess!
