Recommended Taipei Free Tour (228 Peace Memorial Park)


Hello guys, I back with the story about my day in Taiwan ^_^




After BACT opening ceremony, we were viting old time Taiwan. We rode Metro to that place from NTU. The metro was similar with the one we used in Indonesia (MRT) but it was better because it had air conditioner on the station so we were not too hot while waiting the train. The train was comfortable and it only short ride. The best thing on our destination is we can walk around the park for FREE!!!


I was going there with all the participant of BACT summer course student.We divided ourself into two group because there are two tour guide that will accompany us around old Taipei. My tour guide names Tracey (White shirt). She was so good with history. I felt lucky to have her as our tour guide. She also looking after us and choose spot that was make us more comfortable. For example because the weather so hot she explained inside the national museum because there were air conditioner.

The history of Taiwan is amazing. I like to hear history. It is one of my favorite subject. Tracey told us about 228 days. The Taiwan history when Japan lost world war 2 and China take over Taiwan. Taiwan people doesn’t like the Chinese army that coming. They feel Chinese army is stinks and not reliable (because they just finish war).

The Chinese army treated Taiwan people badly. It cause the people to rebel. Then when Taiwan people explain the situation, they don’t even apologize. That’s make a lot of Taiwan people angry and attacking Chinese army. Now the government build this monument to remember the victim of that accident because that is when Taiwan people start to rebel and questioning Chinese soldier that act rude to people and kill innocent people.


There was the well at the middle of the monument and there was a hand print that we could put our hands in and then looking at the inside. We could hear the water sound that will remind us of the crying sounds of the victim. I found this monument are great and well maintenance. I liked the structure and the sounds inside the museum. It did have a mourn nuances but it good place to do self reflection and remember the history so we could learn from the past not to do the same mistake and make a good future. 



I felt peace here and I could feel the sadness feeling. But I also like to remember that our lives is always moving forward and there were no use dwelling over the past.



After that we continued our trip around old Taiwan and stop at an ice cream shop. I bought milk ice cream and totally love it. It was very soft and creamy. I believed I will buy again if I had the opportunity. I will share complete story about the ice cream and food that I bought on the next post about Taiwan.

See you on next post.. XOXO..

A story about Corona..

In Indonesia, we still suffering from Coronavirus. We struggling right now and everyone hoping this pandemic will be over soon. During this pandemic, the Indonesian government ask us to stay at home. We all facing a new normal now. My sister works at the health department. She told me that even her workmate become a victim and die. My brother is 33 years old, he told me last night that his best friends die because of Corona. I know this virus is dangerous. I kept myself at home and only get out if there is something very important. This time I'm facing this pandemic far from home. I'm still struggling to finish my master degree at IPB University. It really hard but I know I can survive. Every day my family always called me and it the reason to keep me going. My family always become my number one motivator. As you have noticed, I made a lot of story about travelling. I did that because I do like travelling. I like to go to new places where I can meet new people, heard sto...

I want to show you around my beautiful hometown Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia. I gather my courage to post this because I saw a lot of tourist visiting Mount Bromo but only using my hometown to take train to another city instead of wandering and exploring Probolinggo. SO here I will show you around guys.. I will start with my experience buying “Gudeg” an traditional food from Jogjakarta, Indonesia. Here in my town there are a few people selling Gudeg I want to share my experience for having breakfast in a “warung” (Indonesian restaurant) “PECEL GUDEG SOLO (Mas Supar)” it located in Jalan Brigjen Katamso No 37 (Utara Plaza) Probolinggo.  Pecel Gudeg Wong Solo I choose “Sate Komo” as addition on my gudeg.

This is it :) The flavor is rich with the spicy sambal is just right to complete the whole package.I really wish you ...

BACT Opening Ceremony

August last year I joined Summer School Programme in National Taiwan University, Taiwan. The programme name  was BACT (Biodiversity, Agriculture and Culture in Taiwan). I wanted to share my experience in Taiwan here with you all. The first day started with introduction and welcoming from BACT Lecturer. Every participant was seated in the bench with name tag on it. So I quickly scanned the room and searching for Rizky Trisna Putri name tag on the desk. This name tag on the table help us a lot to recognize all the participant name. I was so happy that I got a nice souvenir because I can guess who is the first inisiator of BACT. They gave us a very nice and soft cake. They also provided us with dairy product of NTU. I love milk so much. I prefer cow milk than soybean milk (They give us both). Nevertheless I like it all the snack that given to us. They give us a black bag and in the inside there are a lot of usefull thing like raincoat, cap, bug sprayer, note, guid...
