Taking a Train from Moscow City to Yaroslavky

walking to the wagon We chose deliberately in the winter to travel from Moscow to Yaroslavsky. In my defense, we kinda had to use the holiday a little bit. If we're waiting for the good weather, it probably not gonna happen for 3 months and then nothing again. So this trip was taken on February 2026. So we've decided to take a few days off going from Moscow to half of the golden ring. The name ring, means literally ring. Refers to a few cities that used to be very important in the past. Starting from Moscow city (where which we're coming from, technically). I have to mention the cities here anyway; Sergiyev Posad, Pereslavl Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Vladimir, and Suzdal. there will be info about the train  We took the train trip from Moscow. I would say it's the "normal type" of train. So we sat next to each other. Two seaters next to each other. I think my husband took the non-economy one. He booked the train from the app, tutu. T...

Magical Places I Would Love To Come Back Again and Again

 

So far, there are three magical places that I would love to come back again and again. I thought they wouldn't be that special but I was wrong. They are :

Bromo


First time I went to Bromo was 5 years ago (I think) with my Korean friend and it was my birthday present lol. At that time Bromo look so stunning for me although it was a real hard work for me to reach the top of it. I know I am not a big fan of climbing the mountain (although Bromo has stairs there to reach the top, how lazy I am). Going to the top of mountain always tiring and was always give me feeling "Don't climb. You gonna be so tired". But it's all paid off when you reach the top. Waiting for the sunrise always challenging. It is always freezing cold, always crowded during a special ceremony, but again it will be paid off when you see the sun rising and see the villages down there. Whenever I met people who came from countries with 4 seasons, they said "It is cold Pris but not that cold". F*ck you dude! I cant feel my legs.

 
rindu bromo dan ingin mengunjunginya lagi

Ubud

 

Another magical place that I am in love with is Ubud. Definitely the land of the gods. A long time ago I wonder why people love to go back to Bali. Bali is a real mainstream island that I don't think I would come back because it is too mainstream. Oh well oh well I was wrong. I was there last time for a month and it was so great. And another month after that it always calls me back lol. Unfortunately, the seafood prices are still higher than Bangkok lol. But Ubud will always be my "home".

 

Istanbul

 

 
meskipun komposisi ga pas, pantat mereka kepotong, yasudahlah. kusuka tapi kecewa sama jepretan sendiri hmmm 

Istanbul is the real magic. Somehow, it dragged me back to thousand years ago where the byzantine conquers this city for so long. At first, I have no idea that it could be this magical. I went there to see my parents in law. I didn't expect it will be this magical for me. I was so excited to go there to see my parents in law but wasn't that excited about the city. At all. And especially after the airport mess (believe me this airport sucks), long line in immigration and mine took longer than other people (guess because so many Indonesians went to Syria from Istanbul), I wasn't really in the mood. But the moment I leave the airport, OMG! And when we stroll around the old city that evening to find some food for dinner, I knew that this city stole my heart. And so many cats, the nicest to the worse, the thin to the fat ones, the small to the big ones, they are all there. We spent almost 2 weeks there and I just love it. It is magical especially Hagia Sophia. Man this place is so 😍 A great building that witness the great time.



Those places always calling me to go back again and again. The list might goes on... but so far these three are magical. How about you?

Tapi terakhir aku sempet kabur dari rumah ke Bali hahahah sampe di sana tengah malem.. oke abis itu bingung keluar dari airport gimana.

Surviving -20 Celcius in Moscow

frozen lake in Moscow I'd say surviving because I am a tropical girl coming from 30-35 degree Celcius. So yes, this is about surviving such differences in temperature. I spent my whole life in a tropical country then I have to be in a -20 celcius, not an easy situation.  Obviously, I came prepared. I have been in a 0 celcius and learned that double triple layering is the right answer. Moscow has heater that runs nonstop since the beginning of (probably, I dont remember) November until early May. So you technically can not turn it off or on. Many days it gets too hot inside. Going to the mall in Moscow got me super sleepy and tired because it feels most of the time like in Sauna. So, double triple layering in Moscow is the right thing to do.  November temperature usually started to feel chilly, still not lower than 0. December will get colder can be minus. But January and February are the coldest season. This year dropped to -20 (that I can remember). The average temperature wa...

Happiness is ...

Few days ago I met new friends. They are friends of my friend. I helped them for their competition. It's good to know them since the way they think about something is unique and quite close to mine. Until one of them ask me : 'What is happiness for you?' I told them that for me happiness is when I stop compare myself with others and not being compared with anybody else (well, you can compare me with others but don't tell me if you do haha!). I used to compare myself with people. For following their success path might be ok, but for having the same life as theirs who seen successful and happy, I don't think so. So I stop to compare myself with others and it make me feel enough. I feel more relax, since I don't have to pretend or to be somebody else. I feel more 'me' because I only think about me and free to do what I want to do (or to think what I want to think). But one of them said 'For me happiness is when you can breathe, eat, sleep, and p...

Pakai Debit Jenius di Luar Negeri

Amsterdam Central Station  Ini pertama kalinya pakai debit Jenius di luar negeri. Pemakaian ini menggunakan sumber dana EUR yang ada di aplikasi. Jadi uang yang keluar adalah uang EUR, bukan IDR.  Untuk buka rekening valas di Jenius, tinggal ditambahkan saja bagian buka akun valas lalu pilih kurs yang diinginkan. Di kasus ini gw punya rekening EUR di Jenius yang ditujukan untuk transaksi di Eropa.  Karena kemarin lagi di Belanda, akhirnya pengen coba pakai debit card Jenius karena EDC di Belanda belum tentu bisa untuk kartu kredit saja. Sebelum digunakan tentunya jangan lupa untuk menyambungkan kartu debit ke rekening mata uang asingnya biar sumber pengeluaran juga langsung dari tabungan valas itu. Tinggal klik klik aja kok. Tibalah saatnya menggunakan mata uang EUR yang sudah kubeli dari Jenius. Waktu itu gw pakainya di Schipol, di dua toko berbeda, dan keduanya nggak bisa tap langsung. Jadi harus insert kartu, tentu bukan masalah.  Karena terbiasa dengan transaksi...
