How to Travel by Train in Indonesia



Baby.. Baby..Come and safe me.. Don’t need those other numbers.. when I get my number one.. (Singing mode) Hello guys, opening this post by sing little mix song Love Me Like  You. Writing this post by singing bring back my memory last weekend when I travel from my hometown Probolinggo to Jember. I go to Jember using train from Probolinggo Train Station.

First I buy ticket on Ind*mart an retail shop in Indonesia FYI train ticket can be bought online or retail shop who have partnership with PT KAI (Indonesian train transportation company) but I’m not recommend it because you have to pay admin fee Rp 7500, if you are able, it better to go to nearest train station. Don’t forget to bring your passport or KTP (Kartu Tanda Penduduk) along with you  because they need it to input your data.  




Foto guidance for train user, it is in Bahasa though.

You can check in by scanning your boarding pass in this box.

Put your ticket in front of the little black box like the girl doing in the photo. 

After that get your boarding pass. You don’t need to do this if you buy your ticket directly in train station in the same day, you will get your boarding pass directly when you buy your ticket.


This is my boarding pass. My train’s name is Probowangi. And after getting the boarding pass we can go to inside the station to wait for the train beside the railway. You need to show your passport or KTP and your boarding pass to the officer. He will check it and let you inside. 

After that wait for the train stop. Let the passenger who want to out get out first, then you can go in. Don’t affraid the train will leave you or you won’t get chair to sit inside train because there is officer who make sure the passenger up in the train before let the train continue the journey. 

 
Then here I am inside the train sitting peacefully. Wait a few minute and there is an officer check your boarding pass and passport. After that you can rest and enjoy your journey with the train.  In every station there is announcement about what station that we are in. The announcement using both English and Bahasa. If it your destination on the next station please stay calm and move after the train is really stop.

I like to travel with train. This is my favorite transportation. It make sure you get chair and you can sitting peacefully. There are also 2 air conditioner in each wagon so it is not hot inside the train. As you know Indonesia is a country with tropical climate that means the weather can be soooo hot during dry season. Unlike Subtropical country who have for season summer, autumn, winter, and spring, in Indonesia only have two season rainy and dry season.

Train also fast enough because it have its special way so there is no traffic. The departure also punctual and it seldom have delayed. There are food you can buy on train but it is more expensive than in regular shop. So my advise is prepare your meal and water from outside the train to save money ^_^ Unlike using airplane they are not forbide you to bring food or water in train.

I enjoy traveling with train, wish you are too.. Don’t hestitate to write comment if you want to ask more ^_~ I actually want to post this yesterday but can't because connection problem T_T

Anyway.. 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. The tour guide is very good on explaining the content of the museum. First she take us to look around in th first floor. The first floor is about people and natural environment of Taiwan. 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
