Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
My posts about my traveling experiences!
My conference ended on June 2, 2018 and I had planned to wander around Manila the next day before I returned to the states the next two days. It was my birthday, too. I was turning 30 on June 3, 2018. Gosh, I was feeling so old. LoL Well, actually I had no idea about…
I went to see Manila Bay (I went to Manila Baywalk) on my last day in Philippines. For some reasons, I didn’t get to go the day before and I thought, since I didn’t know what else to do, I decided to go to Manila Bay before returning to the airport to catch my flight…
This might be just another narcissistic act of mine, sending a postcard to myself. Why would you send a postcard to yourself? Don’t you have somebody to send you a postcard? Sending a postcard to yourself looks so pathetic. Don’t you have anything else to do for yourself? Well, I have no idea about what…
On the way to the hotel from the airport, I looked around the town from inside the Grab car. It was messy. I mean, it was not so much different from Indonesia. But then I guess I was too tired so I fell asleep even before I arrived in my hotel. I just woke up…
The international airport at Manila, Philippines – Ninoy Aquino International Airport – was kinda small for me, even smaller than the one I had at home, either in the international airport of Juanda, Surabaya, Indonesia or Tucson international airport in Arizona, USA. But I didn’t browse to really compare them, this is just based on…
When I arrived at my friend’s home, her husband and her son were already asleep. I felt really bad that she couldn’t spend the day with her family because of meeting me and guiding me around Tokyo during my short transit. But I couldn’t undo what I had done. So when I arrived, I just…
After getting the Suica card and putting my backpack in the locker rent, I went to find my train. I knew I should get into a Skyliner, the fastest one, but I seemed to get into the wrong lane. There was the intersection between the lane I was and the lane I was supposed to…
First of all, this wasn’t my first time transitting in Japan as most of my previous flights to or from USA always had a layover in Japan. However, this was my first time transitting and going out of the airport. I was so thrilled and excited. I’ve always wanted to travel around Japan. Well, I…
I was scheduled to fly to Japan on May 28, 2018. It was still Ramadan, so the night before I still went to the mosque for Iftar and tarawih. I came back home around 11 and decided not to sleep (or rather, I couldn’t sleep). I mean, it’s almost always like that. Whenever I’d travel…
