Happy New Year 2020 !!!

Happy New Year 2020 blogger lovers....

Welcome to the first post in this beautiful year. I know everyone is enjoying the new year's holiday. Mine is spent traveling to my friend's house in Serang, Banten, Indonesia. It was a last-minute decision because actually I still struggling finishing my research. Anyway, instead of stressing myself, I choose to go when my friends invite me on a trip to Serang. 


We use an online taxi to go from our meeting spot to the bus station. At first, our plan is going to Serang by train but the railway is flooded and the train can't go through. So, we go by bus from Bogor to Serang for IDR 40.000. After arrived at Serang we use an online taxi again to go to my friend's house. They give us a feast!!! We really happy non-stop eating and it was very delicious too!


My friends roasted the chicken and fish while I prepare the sambal. Food always tastes better when you eat it together. We discuss where to go while eating food. Actually, at Serang there are some tourism objects like Banten Lama historical site, Masjid Agung/ Grand Mosque, but we are not going there. We definitely traveling with a very open agenda. So it can be changed at the last minute. So that night we only considering option on where to go but not really give out the decision where to go.   

The next morning I wake up still wondering where to go. Finally, after having breakfast with fried rice, rolade, and fried tempe, we made the decision to go to Multatuli Museum. Unfortunately, Multatuli Museum is not in Serang but it is located in Rangkas. We have to go there by train, but no worries the train ticket is cheap. It only cost us IDR 3.000 /person (IDR 14.000 = 1 USD). When we arrived at the train station at 9 am we just realize that the train to Rangkas will be leaving at 11 am. It waaaay to early for us to be there. We considered to go around first but have no idea where to go, moreover they sell the train ticket only 1 hour before its departure. 

So yeah we end up waiting in front of the train station. It a little bit boring but I brought a book with me and read it while waiting. Finally, the wait is over and we can go inside the train station. the train ticket doesn't have a passenger seat number. But no worries, you will get the seat because they only sell the ticket according to the total seat on the train. 


We arrived at Serang safely ^_^ We use angkot (minibus public transportation) to go to Multatuli Museum. It already pass our lunch time so we decide to have lunch first. Find out what I eat on my next post about food in Serang and I also will take you to Multatuli Museum.

See you on next post.. XOXO...

Weekend Travel around NTU Campus

Today is a holiday. I explore place around the dorm in holiday. I like the architecture here. And I found a tiny area for children to play. The children can play happily here. In Taipei, most of the citizen living in apartment, they don't have their own garden. This public space for children is very useful. This is very nice. The child plays happily Even though I do a solo travelling but I feel safe because the neighbourhood is not crowded. My destination is Taipei Grand Mosque. I search on google map it is not far from the dorm. So I go there and planning to pray there. Taipei Grand Mosque It is not as big as I imagine considering Indonesia grand mosque is so big with 10 floor. The mosque only has 2 floors but it is clean and comfortable. I pretty impress because there are a lot of people in the mosque. Apparently, there is someone die. In Muslim rules if there is someone die then at least 40 people should pray for the corpse and wishing he has a pleasant

Shung Ye Museum and Taiwan's National Palace Museum

Back to my story while I was in Taiwan joining BACT NTU. That day July 14th 2018 we went to National Palace Museum, but first we were coming to Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigin. It located very near from National Palace Museum, only 5 minute walking. We use city bus to go there. This is my first time using bus in Taiwan. I like to ride the bus. It is clean and comfortable, I sit with Sarah and she said she also like to use public transportation.  Inside Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigin We have guided tour here.

An introduction to environment inhabited by Taiwan indigenous people is displayed. The interpretation of the aborigin people is displayed in an informative board. There is a Yami (Tao) fishing boat representing the maritime environment. The most interesting part in the firs
