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 Ta...

Picnic at Bogor Botanical Garden (Kebun Raya Bogor/KRB)

Last month my friends and I had a picnic in Bogor Botanical Garden. Before we go there we toast bread and make omelet because we will make a sandwich. We also brought cheese, mayonnaise, sauce, lettuce, cucumber, a  We didn't bring rice because it will be hard to find plate and spoon in KRB. So we made sandwich instead because easy to ate. The first thing we did when we arrived is found a spot to eat. We search for an open area that has a nice view and have thick grass to sit. We walked in full speed because we all already hungry. But even though we were starving the first thing we do is to take a group picture after we sit. Then we enjoy our sandwich and chat, joking around, basically doing nothing actually ^^ Even though we didn't eat rice we still feel full and ready to explore more of KRB. We took more group picture around the area and then going to a mosque to pray because it was already Dhuhur. After that, we feel a little bit sleepy after eating and pray...

Taman Mexico (Mexican Garden) at Bogor Botanical Garden

Peek-a-boo :)  Can you find me behind the cactus?  Yeaay you right I am wearing my favorite pink shirt ^_^ In the beginning of March 2019, my friends and I were visiting Bogor Botanical Garden (Kebun Raya Bogor / KRB). KRB is located in Bogor City, it only 10 minute walking from Bogor Train Station. We were going there to realeasing stress, wacthed scenery, had picnic, took a lot of selfie, and many other activity. But that story was for next post. In this post I will pick only one part of KRB that become my favorite spot :)  Taman Mexico (Mexican Garden) This spot is entirely different with any other spot in KRB. Mexican Garden had been created to look like garden in Mexico. The environment is more dry, not so much big tree, and there are a lot of cactus and sharp leaf plants. When you visiting KRB and found this place you definitely will see the contrast between Mexi...

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...

First Day in Taiwan

July last year is the first time I step my feet in Taiwan. I was so happy and excited for the next 30 days I will spent a great journey in Taiwan. I arrived at 11 am in Taoyuan International airport. Even though the airport is not as grand as Changi Airport, Singapore but it still have wonderfull structure that you can easily enjoy. There are also some mini stone structure. Actually I want to find out what is this but I dont have time to read them because the student from National Taiwan University (NTU) who picked us already waiting. I am not alone in this journey because there are other student Heder from Indonesia and Clara from Singapore that have the same flight as me. After clearing the immigration I met Ben outside and he told us that we need to move in the other gate to get Yu jeong student from Korea. Ben also help us to get taiwan simcard for our smart phone so we can stay in touch. The airport building is in modern architecture and also decorated with exc...

This post is connected with the preview post notice the title still Bali Heaven 2. I strongly advice read the previous post first ^_^ In this post, I want to share about my impression of White Diamond and Black Diamond restaurant at Fashion Hotel Kuta Bali. My sister and I spent 3 nights there May last year (May 2017). The location of Black Diamond Restaurant is in the front parts of tel in front of lobby. But I want to talk first about White Diamond restaurant that located in the back parts next to swimming pool. It never stop amazed me how this hotel try to embedded diamond in every shape even the plate, salt and pepper container is in diamond shape. Never find anything like this outside Fashion Hotel. I do think they havei it custom made. It is too cute!!! The food is international food. I think they have international menu because the chef is also from outside Indonesia and Fashion Hotel target market is foreigner. I take, vegetables, sausages, omelette and ye...

Fashion Hotel Kuta Bali (Bali Heaven 2)

When I was visiting Bali last year I stay at Fashion Hotel Kuta Bali for 3 nights. I would like to tell you about my impresion of this hotel. I do think that this hotel is good place to stay at Bali because it not so far from the airport. Actually I had breakfast beside some pilot on one morning there. I was intrigued by this hotel because this hotel is one businessline with fashion tv. Fashion tv is my sister favorite channel. This the front symbol of the hotel. Notice the diamod shape on the symbol? You will find a lot of hotel stuff that have diamond shape as well. Next is the custom design of the lobby is definitely spot to take a picture. My impression about this hotel is the visitor is have a very good fashion. I do think several of them are a real life model, they are too handsome and beautifull to be a normal person. I met them at lobby mostly. Absolutely adorable. The surprise when entering the room is they actually give scale in the room. This is never...
