The program was held for 23 days, moving from one island to another one. Although it’s a youth conference, discussing about water issue, it’s more like an “Exploring Okinawa” for me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;I have been to &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Okinawa&lt;/st1:place&gt; for a holiday trip before, and I fell in love with the place. I thought AYEPO will be free summer holiday, but no, I was required to actually work. Be a tutor, prepare the kids for presentations, be their ‘big sis’ and meetings with other tutors every night. There was even 2-3 days I was sick and felt like my body was burning because of ‘having fun’ with everyone. Yea, the people, especially the kids were so fun to hang out with! They were sooo excited about everything we did in the program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;One thing they so can’t wait was snorkeling in &lt;st1:placename w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Tokashiki&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Island&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;, an island in &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Okinawa&lt;/st1:place&gt;. The program provided us with everything, the mask, fins, everything! Except bathing suit of course :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;The coordinators even let us, tutors to come and join the students. Maybe they were afraid the students will drown themselves or lost their way, although I realize we all were equipped by life jackets :P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;For a first timer like me, this was a definite not-to-be-missed chance. I brought my swimming suit and was as excited, or even more, as students in my group when choosing the mask and fins. The instructor explained that we will be paired with one person that will be our ‘buddy’. We had to stick together and not lose any sight of our own buddy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/45373_426870116036_553061036_4718571_4986172_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/45373_426870116036_553061036_4718571_4986172_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;I forgot who my buddy was, but as a tutor, my job was clear enough: I was everyone’s buddy, I need not to lose a sight of them, 10 students of my group. However when we stepped into the water, everything was reversed. I knew at that moment everyone was my buddy. They needed to take care of me, their tutor. They were the one who must not lose a sight of their ‘big sis’.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;“Nuna! There’s a sea snake!!”, Ji Hwan, my student from &lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Korea&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; suddenly shouted from behind. I looked into the water with both excitement and fear, wondering what I would see. There was it. Ji Hwan was right, a black and white sea snake with flat tail like the one in Detective Conan comic book. It swam right across our feet. I told everyone nearby about it with extremely loud, panic, voice: “GUYS!! THERE’S A SEA SNAKE BELOW! BE CAREFUL! IT’S DANGEROUS!!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://divegallery.com/sea_krait1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;129&quot; src=&quot;http://divegallery.com/sea_krait1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;image thanks to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://divegallery.com/sea_krait.htm&quot;&gt;divegallery&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;The kids didn’t seem to care. Hmph. They were too excited playing underwater. I would be so excited with my snorkeling debut too if no ‘special’ encounter like this. Oh boy!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;When I told them about the snake, instead of swimming away, they sunk their masks into the water and tried to follow the poor snake. I started to feel like a kindergarten teacher, haha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Based on the comic book (yes, a comic book!) I read, sea snake is the most dangerous and venomous snake underwater. That’s why I panicked like a crazy grandma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;When I was still worrying where the snake had gone, my tutor partner, Genta swam to me and said this in Japanese: “Dissa don’t worry. Sea snake won’t bite if we don’t disturb it”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;I started to feel stupid, “I thought it’s attacking people type of snake??”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Genta looked so serious now. “Nope, although it’s venomous, it’s pretty tame to people. That’s why some Okinawans even have it for meal”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;What????&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;At that moment, I imagined that slimy little creature slid inside my tummy. Eww!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;I should be more careful looking at my sushi menu from now on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ke Jepang apa Bandung?,&quot;tanya ibuku suatu hari tahun 2006. Topik ini memang sudah jadi perdebatan hangat di rumah. Topik tentang masa depanku, si uni, si kakak paling tua, yang saat itu berumur 16 tahun. Aku harus memilih kemana aku mau melanjutkan studiku selepas masa SMA. Alhamdulillah saah satu uni ternama di Bandung memberikan satu kursinya setelah mengikuti rangkaian tes yang panjang. Di lain sisi, minggu lalu kami baru mendapat telfon dari satu lagi universitas yang aku apply. Mereka bilang aplikasiku diterima dan aku mendapatkan beasiswa uang sekolah selama 4 tahun. Jadi, kalau aku ke uni ini, aku nggak usah bayar uang sekolah, sampai lulus. Wow! Another alhamdulillah!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Namun, universitas yang kedua ini lokasinya di Jepang. Yep, negara asalnya tokoh favoritku, Doraemon. Dan rumor mengatakan biaya hidup di Jepang itu super mahal! Malah yang termahal dibanding US, UK atau Australia. Hmm, walaupun uang sekolah gratis, kalau biaya hidup tetap selangit, kasian mama papa dong, pikirku saat itu. Ditambah lagi, teman-teman SMA yang mulai meracuni untuk pergi ke Bandung bersama-sama mereka. Gini deh kalau sekolah di SMA yang gemar bedol desa ke kota kembang itu. Aku pun berfikir lagi, aku mau kemana ya?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIWkIYcEWx3KylH7Wd69FX3_VbRS9z2ajdkQfN139K4ufIY9jPDdTFmRxQJGfZoMkf2RDPQcowJgWNpaRNACjcVYXEspU0ZTVTt02xZs3Qk4LCVM9zqJ5C5qtCf70YhF-S-wW-Wq5f88PJ/s1600/confuse.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIWkIYcEWx3KylH7Wd69FX3_VbRS9z2ajdkQfN139K4ufIY9jPDdTFmRxQJGfZoMkf2RDPQcowJgWNpaRNACjcVYXEspU0ZTVTt02xZs3Qk4LCVM9zqJ5C5qtCf70YhF-S-wW-Wq5f88PJ/s1600/confuse.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Lagi bimbang-bimbangnya menimbang keputusan, tiba-tiba suatu sore telefon rumah berdering. Ternyata dari kakak kelas Indonesia yang belajar di universitas Jepang tersebut. Wow! Aku ditelfon langsung! Jadilah aku pakai kesempatan ini untuk bertanya panjang lebar. Gimana kuliahnya? Tempatnya asik nggak? Dan yang paling penting biaya hidupnya gimana? Mahal nggak kak? Nah, pas pertanyaan ini ditanyakan, aku inget banget dia jawabnya begini: &quot;Beppu tuh biayanya hidupnya relatif murah, jangan bayangin kota besar kaya Tokyo atau Osaka. Dia tuh desa kecil gitu, jadi biaya hidupnya nggak tinggi. Kamu juga bisa baito, atau kerja part time kok!&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&quot;Kerja ?!&quot; Aku yang dari kecil mendambakan kera part time sebagai barista starbucks pun langsung bermimpi. Asik juga kali kuliah sambil part time, bisa dapat uang jajan sendiri. Lagipula si kakak ini bilang biaya hdup di Beppu nggak semahal Tokyo, soalnya Beppu itu desa kecil. Wait, wait? Apa? Desa kecil? Beppu yah tadi namanya? Kok aku belum pernah denger? Deket mana sih? Kok di atlas nggak ada?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&quot;Iya, Beppu inaka, pedesaan banget! Kalau di peta ada di deket Fukuoka. Jadi nanti dari Jakarta, kamu naik pesawat ke bandara Fukuoka, baru dari situ naik bus, 2 jam ke Beppu&quot;, kata si kakak mendeskripsikan kota kecil yang akan jadi rumahku 4 tahun ke depan. Yep, setelah telfon dari sang kakak kelas, aku pun langsung memutuskan untuk kuliah di Jepang dan mengepak koper untuk ke Beppu, kota kecil yang sampai detik itu tidak saya ketahui lokasinya.

Yes, kota ini literally berarti kota yang berbeda, atau bahasa kerennya kota yang unik. Setelah empat tahun berkesempatan tinggal dan belajar di sana, saya akhirnya mengerti bahwa Beppu benar-benar kota yang unik. These are some teasers why&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisk5rmNpgPTjuAHBP4vdAIcqWuWanz2kIdgGoGUer1Ms6_LWcPPSvieIVzKiaZf_vaiGEmwqZ4-S96ZPq2Rw627k6-dCVJsD_uqVhUzqt3t_AbjIMlSo6kJHROW8hN02a6AAymk4oO1CVF/s1600/beppu.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;218&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisk5rmNpgPTjuAHBP4vdAIcqWuWanz2kIdgGoGUer1Ms6_LWcPPSvieIVzKiaZf_vaiGEmwqZ4-S96ZPq2Rw627k6-dCVJsD_uqVhUzqt3t_AbjIMlSo6kJHROW8hN02a6AAymk4oO1CVF/s320/beppu.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: move;&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;NUMBER One&lt;/span&gt; Beppu mempunyai 9 geothermal hot spots, atau mata air panas yang biasa disebut 地獄 (baca: jigoku, artinya &quot;neraka&quot;). Yep, saking panasnya mata air tersebut, orang-orang disekitar menyebutnya neraka. Ada yang warnanya biru kaya air laut, atau disebut umi jigoku (sea hell). Ada juga yang warna airnya merah seperti darah, namanya chi no ike jigoku, dan they make very good tourism objects! Selain neraka, Beppu juga terkenal dengan pemandian air panas atau 温泉 (baca: onsen) nya.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;NUMBER Two&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Beppu, terkenal dengan populasi kakek nenek nya yang banyak. Well, karena Beppu bukanlah kota besar yang bising dan pemandangannya bagus banget, banyak penduduk Jepang yang menghabiskan masa tua nya disini. Mereka sering bilang kalau Beppu itu &quot;inaka&quot; atau pedesaan, padahal to be honest, pertama kali saya dateng ke Jepang, saya terkagum-kagum dengan pintu otomatis yang ada di semua supermarket di Beppu. Kalau pedesaannya aja kaya gini, gimana kota besarnya??&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;NUMBER Three&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Selain being populous with many elderly people, Beppu juga kaya akan International students, karena salah satu universitas terbesarnya adalah Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, dimana saya belajar selama 4 tahun untuk mendapatkan Bachelor&#39;s degree. Nah, uni saya ini mahasiswanya ada sekitar 5000-an, 50% orang Jepang dan 50% lagi international students dari 82 negara. Dan para international students ini tinggal dan bekerja part time di Beppu. Jadi kebayang kan betapa multiculturalnya jalanan-jalanan di Beppu? :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/59507_436735011036_553061036_4926734_3614001_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/59507_436735011036_553061036_4926734_3614001_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;234&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Suasana kota yang bersih dan pemandangan yang apik plus populasi manusia yang beragam membuat Beppu pantas dijuluki the unique city. Tapiii, masih banyak lagi cerita tentang si unique city ini. Lewat &quot;My Beppu Story&quot; saya akan merefresh cerita ajaib, lucu dan menegangkan yang saya alami di kota onsen ini.&lt;br /&gt;

Part 2</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;My 2nd day in Singapore was another spontaneous journey! We didnt plan anything except meeting my Indonesian friend who currently resides and studies there. So I got half of the day with mom following &quot;The Four Winds&quot; (the old Singapore word refers to The Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian influence to the country) and the other half with my lovely friend walking (yes, literally walking and killing my feet) around the central.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, these are &lt;b&gt;10 Unplanned Things to do in Singapore&lt;/b&gt; through my poladroids camera :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Catch the first wind: The Malay&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584194909304674882&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjptIqgF4wJUbQkFRhZgtRep-P__eV4stu8VXdcc2lIPbvjuoOvnuhwCoJcLBd-DRJw_5d6mi8l-IRHVB3D2Ytgk0mYUxeqiqYtoirXdbEnr0bWe4ou1nmfl1dR7XktMqMuK9I5RGjkl_gy/s400/Sultan+Mosque.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 329px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;When you travel with my mom, get ready to have the Mosque tour. Yes, she loves mosques and so do I. So we started the day with dhuha prayer in Sultan Mosque, Kampong Glam. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Race for the 2nd wind: The Chinese&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584174486826785906&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieAH2D-3HVuLX7Dp0hzHvSmCLyPpTQlmRBz5C9MI8VRJZavtCwhd2pvwl5KAUkbMHHjaGulKITTDjU3SvV3ghTkoPaElkuSex_7XsuC0BzcK7oqAQP_zwkzbaGDJ2sw4j2wokhDBO7Vw-r/s400/Chinatown.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 329px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;This is where to SHOP. If you are looking for the souvenirs, here is the cheapest place you can find in this merlion planet. Random things: I drank 2 cans of A&amp;amp;W root beer here not because it was really hot but because it&#39;s cheap and um... the shopping nuance made me wanna spend even the single cents i had :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Hunt the 3rd wind: The Indian&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

But i had to pay SGD 6 to enter and take pictures, so I just stole the pic from outside. Indian temple never fail to amaze me, and this one I found was so beautiful and mystical. Heaven!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Hot day choice: ICE CREAM&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It took Singapore 10 years to make it tour-able like now.

During the previous boat tour, when the guide explained about this spot everyone looked and took picture of the statue. Thus, taking picture with this 5 naked boys (who were jumping into the river, showing us how was the river in the old days) will certainly make me the center of attention.

His face is even there, on the fridge-magnets, sold in a shop in Chinatown. Taking picture with him is listed as one of 20 unique thing to do in Singapore.

Not in the big and expensive seafood restaurant. The one i went was right in front of my hotel in Orchard Road and the waiter have the nicest smile ever! That will surely make the night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;&quot;&gt;Try it! But remember, the street vendor one :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;&quot;&gt;That was my 2nd day in Singapore.

She came to my room and asked me to book air ticket. I was very surprised why so sudden, but I logged in to airasia.com and luckily found cheap tickets for both of us. Everything is unplanned. Everything is spontaneous. We tried to book a hotel the day before our flight, but there was technical problem so our booking was cancelled. That makes me and mom looked for the “Hotel Reservation” sign the first thing we arrived.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;These 2 homeless ladies finally found a great and not so expensive hotel in Orchard road. However after we put our luggage inside the room, we asked ourselves, what do we wanna do today? It was 2 pm and we didn’t know where to go. Great. I expected mom who’ve been here before to be my tour guide, because I know nothing about this Merlion City. Then mom’s spontaneous brain worked. She went to the tour desk in the lobby and asked about the 1 day tour to Sentosa Island. We planned to go around the city today and go to Sentosa Island. However, the tour lady answered, “The bus to Sentosa will depart in 15 minutes. How about you go now and go to city tomorrow?” &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;What? Wowow. Plan changed? Just like that?? I looked at mom and she nodded. “Okay, we’ll take it!”  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/189243_10150114372841037_553061036_6275244_7745527_n.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 270px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 360px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;So here we are, on the spontaneous bus ride with our funny tour guide, Mr. Chin. He was wearing pink shirt, as pink as the dolphin we are about to see in Sentosa Island. The tour is charged for SGD 86 per person. It is included the cable ride to the island from Mount Faber Station. It is nice for us, who didn’t know where to go to sit on a tour and let the guide bring us everywhere :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Here are the places we went during our trip in Sentosa:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 38.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal &#39;Times New Roman&#39;;&quot;&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;Underwater World&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 38.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/189662_10150114378161037_553061036_6275284_3191438_n.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 360px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 297px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 38.05pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I love aquarium, and here we can touch big manta rays and sharks. So I was dying with happiness. Here’s also we can watch the pink dolphin attraction. It’s short, only 15 minutes. Because Mr. Chin said many people protested the aquarium staffs gave pressure to the dolphin if the show takes longer time. Yeah, remind me of the Cove.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 38.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal &#39;Times New Roman&#39;;&quot;&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom Museum&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 38.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/200434_10150114373641037_553061036_6275251_1506384_n.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 270px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 360px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 38.05pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;One thing I adore from this attraction is how they organize the exhibit. They have outdoor park and indoor museum with collection of butterflies from around the world. It is clean and creatively arranged. Also, the museum is air conditioned! So after a sunny trip in the park, the museum is surely a must-go destination. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 38.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal &#39;Times New Roman&#39;;&quot;&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;4D Movie: Pirates&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 38.05pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;One thing to say about this: My little brothers will love it SO MUCH.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 38.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;4.&lt;span style=&quot;font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal &#39;Times New Roman&#39;;&quot;&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;Museum of Singapore&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 38.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/196012_10150114386691037_553061036_6275380_3521221_n.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 215px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 360px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 38.05pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I love museum. This is a wax museum where they explain the mix-culture of Singapore. “The Four Winds” show at the entrance explained how Singapore became a country of Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian.

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJae73gNaicte0T8zuMcZdzDKbBMDe5KwVepcbVrqUa8CseKDI53MF_R9gN4NTwNz-KrOqMEW69u9wfr2YKFuZQ7fM4Mi1k-YvMyMhl_biCBL6brRo6zBsxhzTSPGKkKvys4D33A-m_CQv/s1600/IMG_0198.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577239832923357922&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJae73gNaicte0T8zuMcZdzDKbBMDe5KwVepcbVrqUa8CseKDI53MF_R9gN4NTwNz-KrOqMEW69u9wfr2YKFuZQ7fM4Mi1k-YvMyMhl_biCBL6brRo6zBsxhzTSPGKkKvys4D33A-m_CQv/s400/IMG_0198.JPG&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 400px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;We got our backyard like Taronga Zoo..&quot;, a sequence of Bliss n Eso&#39;s Down by the River was playing on my ear. It was my 4th day in Australia, and I was on the ferry with my friend, Tim, going to Taronga Zoo. Tim intendedly shuffle his iPod to that song, just to show me that particular part. The song was about Australia, and it got me thinking, from all places in Aussie, this zoo I&#39;m going is inserted. How great is it actually that Bliss n Eso put it into their song?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Before this trip, I knew nothing about it, except the fact that the zoo is located in different island. So we had to take a ferry from Sydney&#39;s Darling Harbour, which departs every 30 minutes, and yes, me and Tim missed it for 3 times. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Then, filled by curiosity, I rushed my dear friend to the gate. Apparently there are two ways to enter, either by bus or by cable rail (what they called by &quot;Sky Safari&quot;). Fortunately, we missed the bus, because i was busy taking pictures in front of the ferry. So we were down to one option which changed my life, the cable rail.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577239833233502498&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAhxpK1WyFEm8S1slWDOowQIEaIqMI_BaI9gz_N9t1fq7Lrbew1ALvLUyYs__v1KjzQQ_bKfEHmc6uKnbgC4aZSgyVT4-ffOVWhmHzxawqIMpgod85tLbc9bZP5g3-cH52y1kj2LFBzieZ/s400/IMG_0206.JPG&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 400px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The cable rail or &quot;Kereta Gantung&quot; in Indonesian, brought us up to the upper entrance gate, which located up in the &quot;mountain&quot;. You can walk up there actually from the lower entrance gate, but we were lazy and we wanted to see the zoo from above, that&#39;s what a Sky Safari is for yeah?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/150570_470720631036_553061036_5496333_900615_n.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 320px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I saw exhibits of elephant, gorilla and others from the cable rail, while locating the places we wanted to go. While doing that, I looked to my back and realized, there was a beautiful scenery of Sydney as the background of our cable ride. So I came up with and idea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;Tim, how about we record a video of us singing Hey Soul Sister inside the cable rail???&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Tim agreed, but he said we would do it later, after we finish the sightseeing. Okay, so we&#39;ll record it when we&#39;re going down.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/154195_470720741036_553061036_5496336_8197946_n.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 320px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Then, long story short, after we finished walking around, taking pictures and petting wallabies, we got on the cable rail for the 2nd time, but this time, we&#39;re going down. So yes, we sat down, with Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge as the background, we set our camera. Then we clicked record.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;Hey ey! Hey ey ey ey ey, Hey ey ey ey ey!&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;Your lipstick stains, on the front lobe of my left side brains....&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;That was it. We were singing the whole verse of &quot;Hey Soul Sister&quot; by Train, out loud. We finished the whole song when out cable rail reached the ground.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;However, this is when the story got more interesting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;When we got out, one zoo officer (a big guy with Taronga Zoo jacket and a walkie talkie) asked us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;Were you guys singing?&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;OOOPSS! He heard us! Did we sing too loud? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I did my worried look to Tim, and he just replied with a big grin. Damn you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;Yea&quot;, Tim answered.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;What&#39;s the title?&quot;, asked the big guy again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;O-oh! Are we in trouble? (My hand started sweating)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;H-Hey Soul Sister&quot;, I answered.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Just when I thought he&#39;ll let us go, he asked another question, &quot;How is it???&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I, who didnt understand what he meant, was about to answer: yea it&#39;s a good song, but then Tim&#39;s words changed my life. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;Dissa, you&#39;ll do it&quot;, he said with commanding eyes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;EH?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Do what?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Sing it? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;But I sang it anyway.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Just when I started to open my mouth, that big guy (who I wish I know the name) took out his walkie talkie and put it in front of my face. Whoaa!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577239837153765394&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3jW7u8er5-393ahtojSVmpv7rklKo3WW1pbTBkeQIbmwGn2NcYC6rE0lpk8M3wJWTS9T4MomSo8Ci2-oIhkzwhn2DgvGT13bhFWNUhDUmO6fY3lTj1J2kPsuBPIuN1NXzt9ycbDXCSTfH/s400/IMG_0200.JPG&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 400px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I finished one verse for him and he looked happy and clapped, hahaha.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I felt so like killing Tim right now because he also clapped. Geesh, man! I needed you to  sing with me! Because apparently when I sang the screen of the walkie talkie said &quot;Sky Safari Taronga Zoo&quot;. Let&#39;s just hope my voice is not actually heard all over the cable rail route, or the worst, the whole zoo. Because I&#39;m sure people will think there was a chimpanzee singing :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Memangnya lagi nggak sibuk? Well, sebenernya waktu itu kita baru aja menyelesaikan fall semester 2009 dan akan menempuh semester kedua sebagai mahasiswa tahun keempat. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Tahun keempat berarti dua hal : Thesis dan Job Hunting. Sebelum kami bener-bener tenggelam diantara keduanya, Kak Fajar came up dengan ide ski trip, murah meriah, di Hiroshima. Hanya 8000 yen, sudah termasuk bus, sewa boardnya (bisa pilih mau ski atau snowboard), sewa sepatu, baju dan goggle (kacamata)nya. Komplit! Tripnya pun cuma 1 hari, nggak pakai nginep. Berangkat malam dari Beppu, sampainya pagi di Hiroshima, lalu pulang sore-sore ke Beppu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Kami pergi dengan bus dari depan starbucks Beppu pukul setengah 10 malam. Di bus, kami mengobrol, main game, dan foto-foto. Karena busnya gabung dengan orang Jepang, kami ngga bisa terlalu berisik. Kami stop di rest area, pukul 12 untuk makan malam. Dan restoran di rest area itu terkenal dengan miso shiru (sup dari kacang kedelai dengan rumput laut dan tahu) yang berisi kerang. Yum yum! Udah malem-malem begini dingin, ketemu sup anget, dijamin tidurnya makin nyenyak. Benar saja, pukul 1 malam saat lampu di bus sudah dimatikan, with no words, we felt asleep straight away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/25827_350331056961_631656961_4280768_4389826_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 360px; height: 240px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Kami sampai pukul 7 pagi. Cuaca agak mendung dan sedikit rintik-rintik hujan. Tapi ke-excited-an kami mengalahkan semuanya. Kalau desa 14 (yes, that is how we called our batch) sudah ngumpul, hujan badai menerjang sekalipun kami tetap tertawa riang, ha ha ha :P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Kak Fajar, our loveliest coordinator menyuruh kita semua turun dan ambil barangnya masing-masing. Barang yang dimaksud adalah board, sepatu, baju dan goggle. Semuanya sudah di plastikin sama tour agentnya dengan nama-nama kami tertulis di plastiknya. Sebelumnya memang Kak Fajar sudah mendata berapa size sepatu dan baju kami biar nggak ada yang kegedean atau kekecilan. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Oh, dan kami pun sebenarnya boleh memilih mau main ski atau snowboarding. Jujur uni ngga tau bedanya sebelumnya, tapi karena banyak yang bilang snowboard lebih gampang, kebanyakan dari kami memilih snowboard. Dan akibatnya kebanyakan dari kami harus menenteng board yang jauh lebih berat dari board ski yang langsing-langsing itu, hehehe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Setelah full equipped dengan baju, sarung tangan, sepatu dan goggle, kami bersiap menuju ke tkp. Satu hal ya ma, walaupun sebagian gunung ditutupi salju buatan, tapi dinginnya tetep ngga ngalahin salju beneran. Malah uni yang sudah pakai baju 3 lapis plus baju snowboardnya aja masih kedinginan. Tapi ya itu lagi, buat orang yang belum pernah ski/snowboard atau melakukan olahraga ditengah es serut seperti ini, rasa excited mengalahkan semuanya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/25827_350330846961_631656961_4280746_643469_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 360px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;How to snowboard? I learned it on the spot. Boardnya snowboard cuma 1 untuk dua kaki, beda dengan ski dimana kaki kanan dan kiri punya boardnya masing-masing. Nah, snowboard ini seperti skateboard. Dua kaki kita harus di “locked” di atasnya untuk bisa meluncur. Tapi, pertama-tama lock dulu kaki kanan kita, agar kita masih bisa berjalan. Kemana? Ke kereta gantung.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAC4u3kltdY48e6F7x_gMMaLfU6w58vKDVnUZQtbkpzfng5q8hR_7BPr2ol_GUChxjJp8-cTkoAOfE0QkO7c1veVc3vuFX_7-NjBPR6HclWs8Hqn4bFMVaSqIp8gOcmtAtkcC_QqYtyOqV/s400/skiroshima1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574974099643673570&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Iya, ke kereta gantung yang akan membawa kita naik ke atas gunung. Kereta gantung yang isinya kursi panjang untuk dua orang. Nah setelah kita dibawa oleh si kereta ke atas puncak, baru lah kita “pasang” kaki kiri kita ke atas board. Dan meluncurlah kita ke bawah!&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Uni jatuh! Thoooousands of time! hehehehe. Ada yang mukanya “nyungsep” ke salju, ada yang badannya keseret sama board yang berat itu, ada juga yang guling-guling jadi kaya bola salju. Tapi nggak jatuh ngga belajar kan ma? Hehehee. Akhirnya uni mencoba berdiri lagi, walaupun susah banget karena berat badan yang berlebih :P &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijs07tOze5sVqAB1iStyAMjoRmeDwNWEDulBlKAAkhyhY5HTHduEUPRij7wTU60lLSYa8McPrOnYgZHEvaXA0iK9QKhGe0Bf0gJjSawdMO3Iv5-lsIOJupZQCW_4uWnmmTLofZ2RYVf-kZ/s400/skiroshima2-1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574974099381557826&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 311px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Tapi kalau sering jatuh, nantinya pasti sering mencoba berdiri, akhirnya jadi kebiasaan. Mau jatuh pun jadi udah tahu, sehingga lebih bisa ngeberatin badan ke kanan dan kiri agar ngga jatuh. Bener-bener kaya skate board! Cuma bedanya, kalau skate board jatuhnya di jalan, kalau snowboard di salju. To be honest, that doesn’t really make any differences.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Kami mulai ski dari jam 8 sampai 2 sore, dan dalam waktu segitu uni telah naik turun gunung 7 kali (applause!). Hahaha. Rekor dipegang oleh Deta yang berhasil naik turun 10 kali. She’s our winter Olympic winner! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmiiA7VaWmCSRqWG-hh8WiMWg0ThfiX1LApPVohzFq-YFU6LtD6la5iAJ4nbPqlGtygjtuvOzNRe87dtimVdM1MlXWC5S8RkMcz58byAx2pbecOSpzAZ27cknBCDRzQCOOCXcrbszLmhG/s400/skiroshima3.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574974100459249122&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 304px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;By the way, di Utopia Saioto Ski Resort ini juga ada restorannya dengan paket buffet all you can eat hanya dengan 1000 yen (promosi haha). Untuk kami yang kelaparan, we have no other choice. Buffet pula! NYAM NYAMMM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Bus snow express kami meninggalkan tempat ski sekitar pukul setengah empat sore, menuju Beppu. Oh, karena Beppu ada di pulau yang berbeda, kami melewati terowongan bawah laut, lho. Hehehe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/25827_350331151961_631656961_4280775_5671108_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 360px; height: 240px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Finally, we arrived home at midnight. The whole trip was amazing! Short but enough to add more stories to my life. Especially when I came home and checked my legs. Happily said, I got purple-ish bruises all over them, and could not really move for 3 straight days. I became a happy grandma. Thanks to the skiroshima trip and crazy batch 14 :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/25827_350330741961_631656961_4280735_3058349_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 360px; height: 227px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;p.s all pictures credited to Ms. Nariswari Dita Yudianti and Mr. Winardi as the only fellas who brought cameras that day :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;thanks heaps!&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://petaduniauni.blogspot.com/2011/02/skiroshima.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (dissa)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAC4u3kltdY48e6F7x_gMMaLfU6w58vKDVnUZQtbkpzfng5q8hR_7BPr2ol_GUChxjJp8-cTkoAOfE0QkO7c1veVc3vuFX_7-NjBPR6HclWs8Hqn4bFMVaSqIp8gOcmtAtkcC_QqYtyOqV/s72-c/skiroshima1.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100421850808912696.post-953841715082684644</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Feb 2011 08:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-05-01T14:28:30.670+07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">japan</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">okinawa</category><title>Last day : Picture gallery :)</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/28424_453263524687_744729687_6055417_4025233_n.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 360px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 240px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/28424_453263579687_744729687_6055424_5401593_n.jpg&quot; onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Akhirnya, tibalah hari terakhir dari Okinawa trip kita. Pesawat yang akan membawa kita kembali ke Beppu itu akan terbang pukul 7 malam. Jadi kita sudah harus ada di bandara sekitar pukul 5 sore. Nah, sampai jam 5 itu, rencananya kami adalah, sbb:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;1. Beach-ing&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (umm, maksudnya bermain-main di pantai, karena Okinawa terkenal banget dengan pantainya yang indah, dan sampai hari terakhir, kami belum main air :P)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;2. American Village Exploring&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (Yep! Ada daerah wisata di Okinawa yang jadi tempat hang-outnya para americano, mostly para navy atau militer amerika yang campnya di Okinawa. Saking amerikanya, di sana sampai ada baskin robins and resto fast food A &amp;amp; W. Yep, di Jepang, cuma di Okinawa aja yang ada A&amp;amp;W nya. Dan we&#39;re craving for some onion rings!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;3. Starbuck pre-paid card Hunting&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (Dari hari pertama uni udah tertarik untuk beli, karena desainnya yang unik dan colorful, tapi ragu gitu, takut uangnya ngga cukup. Pas hari kedua pengen beli eh kehabisan. Jadilah hari terakhir ini akan kami gunakan untuk menghunting kartu itu sampai ke starbucks di pelosok-pelosok!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, instead of ngomong panjang-panjang, uni upload foto-foto hari terakhir di Okinawa yaa :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

NOT ENOUGH</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Kami di jemput jam setengah 7 pagi di depan hotel southern beach. Naik bus wisata menuju Naha, yang artinya menuju ke utara. Karena hotel kami di Itoman, which is bagian paling selatan mainland Okinawa, kamilah yang di jemput paling pagi. Hehehe. Dengan muka masih agak ngantuk, kami pun bergegas masuk ke bus.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Cuaca hari itu agak mendung. Ketika kami ber-12 sudah di dalam bus, hujan pun mengguyur. Tapi ngga mengurangi ke-excited-an kami hari itu, karena sepanjang jalan, tour guidenya menjelaskan tentang Okinawa dari A sampai Z.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9aoiy-ZSEZFxFxD-dZhM7ztB2h4kQb01WFQWIe6LX-FQ9hyfeig3K63cSk4D_dL8AbQH0mJOKHk2XCtnNJtHYVQvh1UCDFSSWVutBPb1M42QPsmd2qN7-8ohd6mVbZOpG6JXyuUZ7CILa/s1600/P1040970.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9aoiy-ZSEZFxFxD-dZhM7ztB2h4kQb01WFQWIe6LX-FQ9hyfeig3K63cSk4D_dL8AbQH0mJOKHk2XCtnNJtHYVQvh1UCDFSSWVutBPb1M42QPsmd2qN7-8ohd6mVbZOpG6JXyuUZ7CILa/s320/P1040970.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574197943116630978&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Okinawa yang juga dikenal dengan nama Ryukyuu Islands adalah prefektur kepulauan di Jepang yang bahasa dan budayanya agak berbeda dengan prefektur di Jepang yang selama ini diketahui sama banyak orang, seperti Tokyo, Kyoto atau Osaka. Orang-orang di Okinawa disebut Uchina, dan bahasa Okinawa disebut Uchinaguchi. Orang-orang di mainland Jepang disebut Yamato, dan bahasa Jepang yang dipakai secara umum itu disebut Yamatoguchi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Perbedaan bahasanya lumayan signifikan sih, terutama dari cara membaca kanji. Walaupun begitu, kalau sudah kebiasaan tinggal di Okinawa, kita bisa juga menebak-nebak apa maksud kalimatnya. Tapi tenang aja, para uchina itu mengerti yamatoguchi kok, walaupun para yamato belum tentu mengerti uchinaguchi, hehehe. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihj8XE4DozWfu7tuHmFdjYXGtXQIxF4p3C0pm-G7Q9Z6COoP9xiN7bQMDhF1boLby8Fnd1DRm-dycv6tHpAWl0MGVnOq5nSBWTtSef-zQSvZZPsgBgj9ndB6Y9WPDbBpmmFUbYhPqFQvvD/s320/P1040967.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574197930838570850&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Nah kalau dari budaya sendiri, Okinawa, yang berdekatan dengan Taiwan dan China, mempunyai pengaruh kuat dari sana. Dewa-nya yang bernama Shisa itu bentuknya seperti singa barongsai. Warna-warna baju adatnya pun kebanyakan merah atau oranye cerah, yang lebih mengingatkan kita sama daratan China. Olahraga Jepang yang terkenal, karate merupakan perpaduan kungfu dan Okinawa martial arts. Ini berkembang pesat karena pada zaman Meiji dulu di Okinawa ngga boleh ada senjata sama sekali. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;First Stop : Ryugujo Butterfly Garden&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/28424_453239759687_744729687_6054359_895100_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 360px; height: 240px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Uni dan teman-teman sampai di sana pada jam makan siang, karena memang jadwalnya ada makan siang bersama di sana.

Jadi kami para jilbabers ngga makan dan langsung masuk ke dalam taman kupu-kupunya.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Jgi9AWUTA5cFb7AZEu6b-G_WKrBesWhfI9T-Wsn6VLSMN4Q7iCIBNpbHEQ4M1TrAbo9kItHyJA7r2b7-uecI8A8o5ZiF7668phvtOk87yJ9ro1KQgGFmxjNFSVCOKcHOv_5i1Oq1FrjE/s320/chochogarden.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573849915548896722&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 129px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Ternyata kupu-kupunya jinak! Dan suka sama yang benda yang berwarna merah. Ada topi merah di dalam tamannya, dan kupu-kupunya ngegerumbul semua di atas.

Yeayy, soo happy!

I love aquarium! Dan uni sudah mendengar temen-temen yang ke Okinawa bragging tentang how amazing this aquarium is. Well, Churaumi adalah aquarium terbesar di Jepang, dengan tank Kuroshio Sea nya yang menampung manta rays (ikan pari), ikan-ikan besar lain plus 4 whale sharks yang super besar. Tank kuroshio ini adalah tank terbesar ke dua di dunia, dengan ukuran 8.2 m x 22.5 m, dan ketebalan kaca 60 cm, menampung 7500 m kubik air. So, this is indeed the coolest aquarium i&#39;ve ever seen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Selain Kuroshio sea, Churaumi, yang artinya laut (umi) yang indah (chura) dalam bahasa Okinawa, juga menampilkan show lumba-lumba dan manatee (dugong). Species bawah lautnya pun beragam, dari ikan hias teman-temannya Nemo, sampai makhluk yang hanya bisa kita temui di palung terdalam. Dan mereka punya penguin! Hahaha, kenapa? Karena orang Jepang suka sekali sama penguin, hehe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZRLaVVo94HpMCeBzPj0eCYdr4bjfwORdx6jXA9hXKzN80rxPC67lHgSlovADVJlu1tLkE8DJP4T3-iSQdDFEIR4rv56Z5uZQfPTnH1IyVUuaelu1bt6V-He1JEzd-UbZCwp74WU3sFyp_/s320/churaumi.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573849910363047842&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Oh, di bagian depan, setelah kita masuk, ada kolam di mana kita bisa memegang bintang laut atau sea-cucumber yang slimy-slimy. Well, jaman dulu di Sea World kayanya juga pernah sih, tapi yang ini lebih keren karena? Karena we&#39;re in Okinawa! Hahahaha&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I love Churaumi, more than any aquariums i&#39;ve ever visited. Uni sampai bilang ke diri uni sendiri, kayaknya uni ngga akan bosen deh kalau nanti datang lagi ke sini untuk ke dua kalinya. Well, a month after that, God granted my prayer, and I came there again. More on that, later :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Third Stop: Nago Pineapple Park&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFaQ_696PSMZ4-dz-zFSdo7bgC0Jz_6AxaxAWf5kJ6Tw6RRXduIXvgUszVJRMU2YfJrVvTOJ64AeMeK5wLPUzoeOP7sdiMMMtLwyLQWL4osMTRuQfm-PpJKVDfXxrUruMZ5-aOp4cO9Lmn/s320/P1050119.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573849925264737266&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;What&#39;s the fun?

Jadinya, kami minta diturunkan di tengah jalan sama pak Supirnya hehe. Walhasil kami diturunkan di Kokusai Dori, dan kali ini kami puas muter-muter dari awal jalan ke ujung terus balik lagi ke awal. Pokoknya kami sampai hafal toko baju di mana, toko oleh-oleh dimana dan yang paling penting, starbucks ada di mana! Yeayy, kenapa? Karena kami mau beli tumbler (tempat minum) yang edisi khusus Okinawa! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Yep, uni memang mengoleksi tumbler starbucks dari seluruh prefektur, karena designnya bagus-bagus!

A funny dinner, in a funny restaurant, with funny food. Why? Hmm, begini ceritanya. Setelah muter-muter dan semakin merasa lapar, kami memutuskan untuk makan di restaurant yang dekorasinya Okinawa banget! Restaurant 居酒屋 (izakaya) yang biasanya dipakai nomikai, atau minum-minum. Artinya, makanannya biasanya 1 di share rame-rame dan harganya mahal. Terus biasanya ada appetizer di awal yang mau kita pesen atau ngga, kita harus tetep bayar. Harga appetizer itu sekitar 500 - 600 yen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Nah, uni kebetulan habis beli kaos sama Anri, jadi temen-temen uni udah masuk duluan. Pas kita masuk, di atas mejanya udah tersedia appetizer itu, yang fotonya seperti di bawah ini.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIJCL9RslpP9B8hMyAg1Q-JRc95NUpf6sbXIlUDZJ9Ejcc93-w9NFsAjX_HCRn5gaARGaWyCer0XMAxWoeFTXr6usVHoX5m8dnh9IjBSo7dyKVLChvsuEdYmkJvRpx-0lv4yZpZesl9v4u/s320/P1050149.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573849918686722562&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Di satu meja uni ada Mela, dan Dhea yang sama-sama baru dateng juga. Kami kelaparan dan langsung menyantap appetizernya. Kenyal-kenyal gitu kaya rumput laut. Akhirnya empat piring kecil pun habis disantap kami berempat. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Eh, setelah kami selesai makan, tiba-tiba Tina dateng ke meja kami. Melihat piring appetizer kami kosong, Tina pun mengerutkan kening. &quot;Kalian habis!?&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;Iya, enak yah!&quot;, kami kompak menjawab&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Mendengar jawaban kami, air muka Tina berubah, &quot;Itukan kuping...&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Gantian Mela yang mengerutkan kening, &quot;kuping apa kak?&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Sambil ngeliat muka kita satu-satu, Tina pelan-pelan menjawab, &quot;kuping....babi&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;Hoeeeeeeeekkkk!&quot;, Mela langsung kabur ke kamar mandi, sambil mencoba memuntahkan sepiring kuping itu. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Uni sama Anri liat-liatan. Dhea diem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;maaf ya... kirain kalian tau...&quot;, kata Tina sebelum meninggalkan kami &lt;i&gt;in an awe&lt;/i&gt;.... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;yep, awe-ful stomaches.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;:P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://petaduniauni.blogspot.com/2011/02/day-2-okinawa-in-1-day-not-enough.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (dissa)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9aoiy-ZSEZFxFxD-dZhM7ztB2h4kQb01WFQWIe6LX-FQ9hyfeig3K63cSk4D_dL8AbQH0mJOKHk2XCtnNJtHYVQvh1UCDFSSWVutBPb1M42QPsmd2qN7-8ohd6mVbZOpG6JXyuUZ7CILa/s72-c/P1040970.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100421850808912696.post-7652401288121528200</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Feb 2011 01:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-15T11:25:56.359+07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">japan</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">okinawa</category><title>First day : Eat, Shop and Take pictures</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnaWAlhMBkk-Bsy5Gnjv-pV9E7qJjx6k6DrcDIskOAJvIfmKloiYsUjxktLl5YhGLBTXIgWVn1dvYE6juH6gXMjBD3I_IkbgLG1R6FSMWb1pSxEvPK-zWY0jwJ2oP4Ni-uo9cpSgCGRS_i/s1600/P1040974.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 540px; height: 360px; &quot; src=&quot;http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/28424_453223444687_744729687_6053719_7198604_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-style: normal; &quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Arrival&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Pesawat kami dari Fukuoka mendarat sekitar jam makan siang di airport Naha, ibukota prefektur Okinawa. Yang pertama menyedot perhatian uni adalah banyaknya pot bunga anggrek di sepanjang gate dan ruang tunggu bandara. Anggrek ungu gitu, ma, I know you’ll love them! Jadilah kita-kita yang sudah lama ngga ngeliat anggrek bergerak mengambil kamera. Pot-pot bunga itu membuat bandara Naha cantik banget dan berbeda dari semua bandara di Jepang yang pernah uni datangin. This feels more homey.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/28424_453223544687_744729687_6053735_4851883_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 360px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Where to go? We didn’t know. Hahaa. Karena rencananya besok kita akan ikut tur 1 hari dengan bus, kita lupa memplanning hari pertama kita, hehee. Akhirnya kita datang ke bagian informasi di bandara, dan mereka bisa ngomong bahasa inggris DENGAN SANGAT AMAT LANCAR! Yeaayyy! Apakah karena di Okinawa banyak tentara Amerika atau karena banyak turis asing yang datang dan nggak tau where to go kaya kita, ehem, tapi yang jelas, ibu-ibu (iya, ibu-ibu, keren kan?!) di bagian informasi berbicara dengan bahasa inggris yang fluent dan jelas, wow!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Mereka menjelaskan tempat-tempat wisata di Okinawa, inland dan outland, tempat-tempat diving, surfing dan pantai-pantai yang super keren. Well, kita cuma punya kurang dari 3 hari dan besok kita akan tour di dalam Naha, jadi kita nggak akan bisa ke pulau lain. (But I finally went to those beautiful islands during AYEPO, more on this later ya ma). Jadi ketika si ibu informasi bertanya “What do you wanna do now?”. Grrwwlllll, our stomachs answered. EAT!! Eat okinawan food!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/28424_453223629687_744729687_6053746_6032041_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 360px; height: 237px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Kami pun menggeret koper kami ke stasiun &lt;/span&gt;kereta di bandara. Iya ma, Naha airport, seperti Narita airport, punya stasiun yang jadi tempat pemberhentian kereta dari dalam kota. Sepanjang perjalanan, kami melihat tempat terkenal lainnya di Okinawa seperti Shuri Jo (Shuri Castle). Sambil lihat-lihat keluar, di dalam kereta pastinya kami tetap foto-foto, hehehe. &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun:yes&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Orang juga males masuk kali ya, karena 1 gerbong isinya kami ber 12 doang! :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Porky Okinawa :P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Akhirnya, kereta yang kami tumpangi berhenti di stasiun dekat pintu masuk kokusai dori. Seperti kuda yang dilepas dari kandangnya pas pacuan kuda, kami pun berlari berhamburan (well, agak hiperbol sih, tapi sejenis lah ma :P). Melewati banner lampu “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;JA&quot; style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin&quot;&gt;国際通り入口&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;” yang karena waktu itu masih siang jadi belum menyala. Apa isinya kokusai dori? TOKO-TOKO. Banyaaaaaaaakk banget! Dari toko makanan khas Okinawa seperti Chinsuko dan Imo (ubi) tart, toko kaos-kaos sablonan, sampai tukang tato ada di situ. Huwaahh, hari pertama udah disuguhi menu favorit, SHOPPING!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;Ehm, tapi perut berkata lain. Sebelum shopping, ada baiknya kami “menyogoknya” dengan makanan atau dia akan mulai bernyanyi lagi. So, we found a small restaurant around the corner. An Okinawan restaurant, sells &lt;i&gt;Okinawa Soba&lt;/i&gt; (seperti udon tapi with 1 slice of, sorry to say, seemed-yummy pork), &lt;i&gt;Taco rice&lt;/i&gt; (Mexican-influenced cuisine, sayuran dan daging cincang dengan saus salsa), &lt;i&gt;Soumen&lt;/i&gt; (mi tipis seperti bihun dicampur dengan kecap), &lt;i&gt;Goya champur&lt;/i&gt; (ini dia favorit uni! pare, tofu, telur di CAMPUR jadi satu) dan maasih banyak lagi.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnaWAlhMBkk-Bsy5Gnjv-pV9E7qJjx6k6DrcDIskOAJvIfmKloiYsUjxktLl5YhGLBTXIgWVn1dvYE6juH6gXMjBD3I_IkbgLG1R6FSMWb1pSxEvPK-zWY0jwJ2oP4Ni-uo9cpSgCGRS_i/s200/P1040974.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573763058985367554&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); &quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Goya Champur&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Well, masakan Okinawa itu rendah lemak dan banyak sayur. Nggak heran kalau orang-orangnya adalah yang umurnya paling panjang di seluruh Jepang.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chinsuko Alert!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Setelah puas makan, uni dan temen-temen pun melaksanakan “kodrat wanita” sebagai shopper sejati. Hehehe. Kami loncat dari satu toko ke toko yang lain, mencicipi kue-kue khas Okinawa seperti Beni Imo (ubi ungu khas Okinawa) Pie dan Chinsuko. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Nah yang terakhir ini nih yang seru. Ada buaanyaak banget rasa, model dan jenis Chinsuko, biscuit yang dibuat dari tepung, yang menjadi oleh-oleh wajib Okinawa. Di tiap toko, kami bisa mencoba tiap-tiap rasa karena memang disediakan tester. Ada yang dilapisi dark chocolate, white chocolate sampai campuran chocolate sama mangga. Hmm, Yummmm!! Akhirnya kami pun membeli sebagian untuk oleh-oleh dan sebagian lagi untuk cemilan, termasuk uni. Uni beli 1 bungkus yang dilapisi coklat untuk cemilan salama trip di Okinawa. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/28424_453223819687_744729687_6053769_4122166_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 360px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Fast forward ke hari terakhir, saat kita ngeberesin barang-barang untuk pulang, uni packing semua oleh-oleh sambil mengingat-ingat ini untuk siapa saja. Iseng-iseng uni liatin lagi bungkus Chinsukonya, terus uni liat belakangnya, bagian komposisi. You know what I found? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;JA&quot; style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;;mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin&quot;&gt;豚&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;. Buta. Babi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;JLEB. Bagai ditusuk. Karena 5 menit yang lalu baru menghabiskan 1 bungkus Chinsuko yang berlapis coklat. Huwaahh! Ternyata chinsuko itu bahan dasarnya memang lard, atau lemak babi. Woalah, rek..rek.. Ngga research dulu sih sebelumnya. Padahal di kokusai street udah loncat toko ke toko untuk nyobain testernya. Haduhhh! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pictures? Free of Charge&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Waktu sudah makin sore, dan kami harus meninggalkan kokusai dori. But we will be back tomorrow! Next destination is….Shuri Castle! Yep, we took a train, go there but not really going inside it. Why? Because we found better backgrounds to take pictures OUTSIDE. Hehe. So yea, we took heaps of picture, mom. Dan dari situ kami pun bergegas pulang.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/28424_453224049687_744729687_6053803_4253159_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;float: right; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 360px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;So now we gotta go to the hotel dengan menyewa 1 buah “taksi” model medium yang bisa dimuai 12 orang plus koper-koper. Yah, seperti mobil espass gede sedikit gitu, ma. Dengan bapak supir yang keren banget! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Dia tahu tentang Indonesia, terus punya taste yang bagus dalam music (karena lagu yang di play di mobilnya, which are Okinawan songs, bagus bagus banget!), dan yang paling oke adalah, dia yang punya perusahaan taksi tersebut. Weeeww! Kita kenalan sama sacho (direktur) nya! Kita pun diajari bahasa-bahasa lokal Okinawa yang SANGAT BEDA sama bahasa jepang. Kalau di Jepang terimakasih itu &lt;i&gt;arigatou&lt;/i&gt;, di Okinawa bilangnya &lt;i&gt;nihedebyu&lt;/i&gt;. Nah lo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Hotel&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Hotel kami namanya Southern Beach Hotel, terletak di Itoman, which is the southern part of Okinawa honbu (mainland). Hotelnya bagus! 12 orang dimasukkan ke dalam 3 kamar yang “decent”, karena buka pintunya aja pakai kartu, ngga seperti hotel-hotel backpacker yang pakai kunci beneran.

Lokasinya di selatan gosipnya membuat iklim Okinawa nggak jauh berbeda dengan negara Indonesia tercinta. Ditambah lagi bentuknya yang kepulauan membuat prefektur ini punya pilihan pantai yang super indah. Iklim yang hampir tropis, pantai yang indah, dan satu lagi alasan kenapa pada quarter break spring 2010 kemarin uni dan 11 teman-teman cewek uni packed our bags dan booking ticket murah meriah, adalah kami mau hunting MANGGA!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Yep, di Jepang, buah-buahan adalah komoditi kelas atas. Artinya cuma satu: Larang, eh maksudnya mahal. 1 buah apel itu sekitar 100 yen atau 10,000 ribu rupiah. Kalau pinter ngubek-ngubek supermarket, biasanya bisa dapet 1 sisir pisang yang harganya 50 yen, atau sekitar 5000 rupiah, tapi mungkin udah ada yang hitam-hitam hehehe. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Yah begitulah, di Indonesia, tongkat ditanam jadi pohon dan setiap tahun ada baaaaanyak buyable dan edible buah, dengan harga yang murah. Namun, kami-kami yang di Jepang harus mikir-mikir dulu sebelum membeli. Alternatifnya ada beli jus sayuran + buah yang dijual di supermarket, enak, murah dan accessible. Lah, jadi promosiiii :P&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Anywayyy, Okinawa itu terkenal dengan buah-buahannya yang lebih murah dibanding mainland Jepang, karena mereka growing sendiri buah-buah seperti mangga dan nanas. Jadilah kami drooling membayangkan buah mangga dan nanas yang murah dan bisa dibawa pulang. Tempat-tempat beli buah seperti Kokusai Street dan Pinaple Garden pun sudah di circle di agenda. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/28424_453223379687_744729687_6053709_5863051_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 540px; height: 360px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Tapi, satu hal yang kami ingat adalah traveling di Okinawa will be a lot better with a car. Dan paket liburan yang kami booking lewat Coop (koperasi APU) pun meng-include sewa mobil. Jadi 3 hari 2 malam, sudah termasuk tiket pesawat Fukuoka-Naha, hotel di Itoman city dan 1 buah mobil sedan untuk dipakai jalan-jalan. Sounds like a great deal, yeah?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;But we did forget something. There are 12 girls traveling together, and there is only one girl who have Japanese license and anyway, we won’t fit in 1 car for sure. Hahahaha. Jadilah si mobil nggak terpakai dan kita traveling pakai TAKSI. Rich girls indeed :P &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; &quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/28424_453239764687_744729687_6054360_12661_n.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 540px; height: 360px; &quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;But we did manage to have the coolest summer trip ever! Met the coolest taxi driver, got on a cheap 1 day tour and finally ate lots of pineapple, FREE OF CHARGE!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Okay, let the series begin :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;p.s all photos in these series are credited to Ms. Anri Pristidianita.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Kalau lagi jalan-jalan, uni dan temen-temen paling excited plus bingung mikirin makan. Karena budget kita sangat terbatas dan mostly terpakai buat transport atau hotel, nggak jarang kita jadi keluar masuk konbini (convenient store di Jepang, sejenis indomaret gitu) untuk beli onigiri atau roti.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Sarapan pagi biasanya cari onigiri atau roti yang 100 yen-an plus ocha botol gede yang di share rame-rame. Nah, kalau sarapan seadanya begini, biasanya jam 10an perut sudah mulai kruyuk-kruyuk lagi. Most of the time, uni dan temen-temen bersabar sampai jam lunch untuk bisa menyantap meal yang besar dan nikmat. Tapi nggak jarang waktu lunch kita mundur dari jam 12, karena biasanya kita masih sibuk sightseeing dan lupa ke&quot;kruyukan&quot; perut. Hehehe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1959/87/119/553061036/n553061036_1130433_2988.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 302px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; width: 270px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Seperti di Kyoto, kota favorit mama, uni dan teman-teman baru menyantap lunch jam setengah empat sore karena kelamaan bermain di Kiyomizudera, sebuah kuil di atas gunung yang terkenal dengan mata air yang berkhasiat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Smile burger, makes you smile....and full&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Sebelum naik ke atas, kami sudah melihat poster ini di pinggir jalan. Nama tokonya Smile Burger, menjual burger dengan patty atau adonan daging burger yang 100% sapi. Ukurannya jumbo pula! Jadilah uni yang waktu itu pergi dengan Saras, Ryan dan teman-temannya tertarik untuk menjadikan si burger ini menu makan siang. Apalagi buat uni dan Saras yang ngga makan daging babi, menemukan burger di Jepang dengan daging sapi 100% tanpa campuran daging-daging lain itu seperti ketemu oase di padang pasir, hehehe. Langka banget! Dan wajib dicoba pastinya.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1959/87/119/553061036/n553061036_1140227_8499.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 227px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 301px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Jadi setelah kami &quot;turun gunung&quot; dari Kiyomizudera, which is waktu itu jam setengah 4 sore, kaki kami mengikuti komando perut untuk masuk ke kedai Smile Burger. Kedainya apik banget! Ada dapur kecil, sofa, kamar mandi dan rak majalah, semuanya fit into one small cute room. Musik yang dipasang juga oke punya. Pokoknya kita yang kecapean jalan-jalan udah siap-siap rebahan di sofanya. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ternyata Smile Burger ini 1 harinya hanya bikin 50 porsi, dan kalau sudah habis mereka akan tutup, ngga peduli jam berapa habisnya. Jadinya kita lucky banget bisa makan sore di situ. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1959/87/119/553061036/n553061036_1140228_8750.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 227px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; width: 302px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dan 1 paket normal burger (yang sebenernya sizenya ngga normal) itu termasuk 1 gelas minum, potato chips dan pickles, semuanya 1050 yen. Mahal? Nggak juga, karena burgernya SUPPPPPERR BESARRR! Saras aja ngga abis makannya, ma :P Uni pun ngga makan malem lagi hari itu, hehehe. Definitely a good place to have your dinner-lunch, mom!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;SUPER SASEBO&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;But if you&#39;re talking about giant burger in Japan, then you should not miss &lt;b&gt;Sasebo burger&lt;/b&gt;, mom. Sasebo adalah sebuah kota di prefektur Nagasaki yang juga menjadi entrance gate para pedagang eropa dulu. Banyak ekspat yang berdiam di sini sehingga makanan khas Sasebo pun terinfluence dari luar negri, yaitu Sasebo burger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs126.snc3/17368_260275580287_615740287_4825149_805943_n.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 201px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; width: 302px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Burgernya besar dan pipih, cara makannya  pun agak unik. Roti burger atau bunnya di penyet sampai mayonaise dan mustardnya melimpah ruah keluar. Berantakan? Iya. Enak? Banget! OHH, patty-nya pun dibuat dari 100% daging sapi ASELI, yihiiyy!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Di Sasebo buaaaaaannyak banget toko burger dengan range harga yang berbeda-beda. Nah, yang uni datangi waktu itu adalah kedai burger &quot;Log Kit&quot; di Sasebo station. Karena dia ada di station, jadi sistemnya take away gitu dan ngga ada tempat duduknya. Tapi, tenang, we&#39;re bunch of creative kids. So we bought the burgers and ate them inside the station. Ohh! Seperti smile burger, 1 paket Sasebo burger versi Log Kit includes kentang dan 1 big glass of soft drink. KENYANGGGG!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/17368_260275595287_615740287_4825151_5593107_n.jpg&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 201px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 302px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;So yes, mom. Next time you&#39;re coming to Japan, just tell me is it Kyoto or Sasebo then we&#39;ll have the burgers for DUNCH!&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://petaduniauni.blogspot.com/2011/02/giant-burgers-perfect-dish-for-dunch.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (dissa)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100421850808912696.post-9082041907859978150</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Feb 2011 07:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-05-01T14:26:43.738+07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">about</category><title>A bit about this blog</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Selamat datang! ようこそ！&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Welcome to my mom&#39;s birthday project!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Iya, blog ini sebenarnya adalah birthday project untuk sang mama, yang akan berulang tahun ke 47 tanggal 24 februari nanti. Mama saya sangat pengen saya menulis perjalanan saya selama 4 tahun belakangan ini. Alhamdulillah, selama saya kuliah di negri sakura, saya berkesempatan jalan-jalan ke tempat antah berantah yang seru, ajaib dan menegangkan hehe&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nah, si mama bilang &quot;Uni, mbok ya dibikin cerita atau dicatet kalau kamu pergi kemana-mana gitu!&quot; Jadilah saya secretly lagi menulis ulang cerita-cerita traveling saya ini. Nanti pas tanggal ulang tahunnya, akan saya print dan jilid biar jadi kaya buku. Tapiiii, kalau saya nanti in the future bisa pergi kemana-mana lagi, dan ngga sempet nge print buat beliau, blog inilah yang akan jadi kertas coret-coretan saya. Well, saya harus ngajarin si mama caranya buka internet dulu sih sebenernya.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;By the way, kalau ada yang nanya, uni itu artinya &quot;kakak&quot; dalam bahasa padang, dan begitulah saya dipanggil di rumah. Hehehe, so enjoy peta dunianya si Uni ya!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I guarantee you will not get lost, well maybe a bit :P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Bon Voyage!&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://petaduniauni.blogspot.com/2011/02/bit-about-this-blog.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (dissa)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100421850808912696.post-5254973660372733406</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Feb 2011 06:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-07T14:00:33.934+07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">japan</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Nagasaki</category><title>Memulai hari dengan Peace Tour?

Namun dari semua itu, barang yang paling menarik adalah jam dinding tua yang jarum-jarumnya tepat berhenti di angka 11:02, waktu setempat ketika bom atom di jatuhkan.

Wihh, kami jadi ikutan sedih dan nyaris menangis, sampai salah satu temen uni protes “Who decided to come here first? We should’ve not started our morning like this!” Hehehe, tapi overall, Nagasaki Peace Museum membuat uni lebih mengerti mengapa Jepang ngga mau punya wajib militer seperti Korea atau Amerika. They were wounded so bad. Dan kami pun jadi termotivasi untuk tetap menjaga kedamaian yang ada sekarang.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;Kemudian, keluar dari Peace Museum, kami berjalan menuju Atomic Bomb Hypocenter Park.
