			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Setelah memberi tips membuat itinerary <a href="http://told.byputy.com/2012/02/03/tips-trik-merencanakan-flashpacking/">di sini</a>, ada beberapa orang yang meminta itinerary saya. Beberapa bertanya lebih lanjut, dan saat itu saya hanya bisa mengatakan, &#8216;itu baru rencana&#8217;. Setelah pulang, saya pikir ada baiknya berbagi <strong>time table perjalanan</strong> dan <strong>tips-trik traveling efektif &amp; efisien</strong> selama di sana. Boleh dibilang perjalanan saya ke Jepang kemarin sukses karena berhasil mewujudkan semua rencana pergi ke tempat yang ingin saya kunjungi, malahan ada beberapa yang tidak direncanakan. Biaya yang dikeluarkan sesuai budget, belanja pun sukses ;D</p>
<p><a title="New Japan by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/6973740364/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8167/6973740364_771ec70401.jpg" alt="New Japan" width="500" height="331" /></a></p>
<p>Jalan-jalan kali ini menghabiskan waktu <strong>7 hari 7 malam</strong> (9 hari jika ditambah perjalanan) dan saya berhasil mengunjungi <strong>5 kota; Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka, dan Kobe</strong>.</p>
<p>Kenapa 5 kota tersebut? Karena kota tersebut memiliki daya tarik dan ciri khas masing-masing. Kalau memang waktu kamu sempit, pergilah setidaknya ke <strong>Tokyo &amp; Kyoto</strong>. Tokyo adalah ibu kota Jepang yang super modern, dinamis, modis, dan terang di waktu malam. Kyoto adalah ibu kota Jepang kuno sehingga masih memiliki banyak kuil dan bangunan bersejarah. Banyak pula jalanan yang masih dibiarkan bergaya kuno sehingga rasanya persis di game atau film zaman Samurai. Jika masih ada waktu, saya menyarankan untuk pergi ke <strong>Hakone, Osaka,</strong> dan <strong>Kobe</strong>. Hakone itu seperti daerah Puncak bagi warga Jakarta. Berlokasi di pegunungan, dengan pemandangan indah, berbagai museum dan pemandian-pemandian air panas. Di Osaka banyak makanan enak (<em>walaupun saya tidak sempat wisata kuliner di sana</em>) dengan orang-orang Kansai sangat ramah dan bersemangat. Last but not least, Kobe, merupakan kota pelabuhan yang cantik dan romantis :)</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>Foto-foto favorit sudah saya upload di <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/sets/">Flickr saya</a>. Ini <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/sets/72157629902719125/">Hakone &amp; Tokyo</a>, ini <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/sets/72157629914358769/">Kyoto</a>, ini <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/sets/72157629550284156/">Osaka</a>, dan ini <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/sets/72157629550396616/">Kobe</a>.</em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Anyway, berikut itinerary saya yang berupa time table: <em>(klik untuk ukuran besar)</em></p>
<p><a href="http://told.byputy.com/images/dailyshots/2012/05/Japan-Realization.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1961" src="http://told.byputy.com/images/dailyshots/2012/05/Japan-Realization-420x259.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="259" /></a></p>
<p>Time table tersebut rasanya memang sesak ya :)) Tapi saya membuktikan bahwa perjalanan tersebut sangat mungkin dilakukan. Berikut tips &amp; triknya:<span id="more-1960"></span></p>
<p>1. <strong>Kalau ingin pergi ke beberapa kota di Jepang, gunakan <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2361.html">JR Pass</a></strong>. Ini seperti tiket terusan &#8216;sakti&#8217; yang bisa membuat kita gratis naik semua kereta di bawah bendera JR (mencakup jalur-jalur utama kereta api dalam kota), termasuk Shinkansen (kecuali Shinkansen Nozomi). Shinkansen dengan kecepatan inilah yang memungkinkan kita day trip antar kota. Misalnya saya, selama 3 hari di Tokyo, saya melakukan day trip ke Hakone. Kemudian saya sempat day trip ke Osaka padahal menginap di Kobe. JR pass ini sendiri merupakan privilege turis, karena <span style="text-decoration: underline;">hanya orang dengan paspor asing dan visa kunjungan sementara yang dapat membeli JR pass</span> ini, dan <span style="text-decoration: underline;">harus dibeli di luar Jepang</span>. Untuk Indonesia, kemarin saya beli di <a href="http://www.jalan-tour.com/ver03/ina/jrpass/">JALan Tour, Jakarta</a>. Harganya 28.300 yen (sekitar 3,3 juta rupiah) untuk 7 hari.</p>
<p><a title="Shinkansen by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/7119925353/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7093/7119925353_2de2d4894f.jpg" alt="Shinkansen" width="500" height="329" /></a></p>
<p>2. Mungkin ada yang belum tau harus menginap di mana, jawabannya menginaplah di <strong>hostel backpacker </strong>(<em>cek <a href="http://hostelbookers.com/">hostelbookers.com </a>atau <a href="http://hostelworld.com/">hostelworld.com</a></em>). Tarif per malamnya akan tergantung dari lokasi dan fasilitas. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Jangan terpaku dengan hostel dengan harga termurah</span>. Cek rating dan review dari orang-orang yang pernah menginap di sana. Jangan sampai karena ingin harga murah tapi dibayar dengan letaknya yang jauh dari stasiun dan tidak nyaman. Istirahat yang berkualitas adalah kunci perjalanan yang efektif!</p>
<p>3. <strong>Manfaatkan loker berbayar</strong>. Untuk menghemat waktu, saya hampir selalu memilih menaruh barang di loker stasiun untuk sementara ketimbang kembali ke hostel. Loker berbayar ini terdapat hampir di semua stasiun, bandara, dan dapat digunakan selama seharian dengan membayar 300 yen ~ 32.000 rupiah (ukuran terkecil).</p>
<p>4. <strong>Jangan terlalu banyak menghabiskan waktu di restoran</strong>. Selama 7 hari di sana, hanya beberapa kali saya pergi ke restoran. Biasanya restoran yang saya kunjungi istimewa dan termasuk objek yang ingin saya nikmati, misalnya makan sushi, soba, atau restoran sea food di Kobe Port dengan pemandangan yang luar biasa (<em>thanks, Mel!). </em>Untuk menghemat waktu dan juga uang, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">onigiri dan menu bento dari minimarket seperti 7Eleven &amp; Lawson sangat praktis dan ekonomis</span>, dapat dimakan di perjalanan. Rasanya pun enak menurut saya :9</p>
<p>5. <strong>Belanja di lokasi objek wisata &amp; bandara</strong>. Berdasarkan pengalaman pribadi saya, harga souvenir di Jepang tidak beda jauh antara yang di jual di objek wisata, bandara, ataupun pusat perbelanjaan. Tidak seperti di Indonesia atau Singapura misalnya, yang harga souvenir di bandara-nya bisa jadi beberapa kali lipat harga souvenir di &#8216;pasar tertentu&#8217;. Oleh karena itu, jika ingin beli souvenir, beli saja sekalian mengunjungi <em>tourist attraction</em> atau sekalian waktu pulang.</p>
<p><a title="ALL BUNNY by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/6968793148/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5335/6968793148_1ed2da190f.jpg" alt="ALL BUNNY" width="500" height="329" /></a></p>
<p>6. <strong>Jangan buang waktu untuk nyasar atau salah turun stasiun!</strong> Hehehe, ini yang agak tricky. Yang namanya kesasar itu wajar tapi sangat bisa diantisipasi. Di Jepang, papan petunjuk arah, semuanya super jelas. Oleh karena itu, <em>dari sebelum keberangkatan, cek dulu apa nama stasiun terdekat dari objek wisata tujuan kita, naik kereta apa, jalur apa</em>. Semua dapat dicek di <strong><a href="http://www.hyperdia.com/">hyperdia</a></strong>, lengkap sampai ke menit-menitnya.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Cek ramalan cuaca, bawa payung &amp; siapkan back up plan kala hujan</strong>. Sesampai di sana, coba cek ramalan cuaca. Payung adalah senjata wajib (at least di musim semi, based on my experience) yang harganya kalau dikurskan lumayan juga hehehe. Jangan lupa bawa payung lipat, dan seandainya ramalan cuaca mengatakan akan hujan, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">segera susun rencana cadangan</span> (baik mengatur ulang rencana ataupun coba tempat baru yang tidak direncanakan sebelumnya tapi indoor, menarik dan tidak terlalu jauh).</p>
<p><a title="Rain in Higashiyama District by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/6973666834/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7258/6973666834_6414d73a90.jpg" alt="Rain in Higashiyama District" width="500" height="331" /></a></p>
<p>8. <strong>Istirahat berkualitas! </strong>Ini sangat penting. Seperti yang telah saya sebutkan di poin nomer 2, pilihlah hostel yang nyaman untuk tidur dan mandi air hangat. Selama pergi, saya (dengan <em>ogah rugi</em>nya) selalu bangun pagi untuk berangkat dan pulang malam kemudian langsung tidur. Butuh kondisi fisik yang baik dan istirahat cukup untuk jalan-jalan seharian. Jangan buang waktu istirahat untuk menulis blog (<em>as for me, hehehe</em>). Saya masih menggunakan buku catatan untuk mencatat hal-hal penting maupun tidak (bahkan sketsa) selama perjalanan :)</p>
<p>Hmm, apa lagi ya? Jika ada yang ingin ditanyakan, <strong>silakan tinggalkan komentar di bawah</strong>. <em>Akan saya jawab sebisa saya di bagian komentar juga :)</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Hello from Rig Yani :)</em></p>
<p>Yes, I&#8217;m back to work after after quite long days-off; yes, including a 7 days trip to Japan (<em>yes, the one I mentioned in <a href="http://told.byputy.com/2012/02/03/tips-trik-merencanakan-flashpacking/">this post</a></em>). I hope you don&#8217;t expect me to rewrite my complex itinerary or list how much I really spent for that trip. I&#8217;ll write more, but later. Well, I start to think that I wouldn&#8217;t be a good travel-writer or travel-journalist or something like that because I skipped many general touristy detail because I enjoyed everything too much for myself.</p>
<p><em>Japan was a childhood dream for me</em>. I watched anime and read manga until high school (not religiously though). I learned Japanese on high school (forgot it completely a year later though). I applied to be an exchange student to go there (changed my mind though). The dream was just almost forgotten as I grew up; so when I arrived at Tokyo, I was remembering everything.</p>
<p><a title="Sakura by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/6968808448/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8146/6968808448_008ecfecb9.jpg" alt="Sakura" width="500" height="331" /></a></p>
<p><a title="Hi, Tokyo Tower! by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/7114922029/"></a></p>
<p><a title="Shibuya by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/6968783160/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7271/6968783160_354f1367a0.jpg" alt="Shibuya" width="500" height="331" /></a></p>
<p>As I got on the train and saw the cherry blossom on the horizon through the window; I told to myself; <em>you arrived here</em>. As I walked down the avenue bright with city lights; too packed with people walking fast, impatiently; noisy with sounds of game centers; I told to myself; <em>you&#8217;re here, at last</em>. Then, everything was amazing. That was the time I knew another dream had come true.</p>
<p><a title="Robot from Laputa by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/6968866446/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8019/6968866446_46d230d525.jpg" alt="Robot from Laputa" width="500" height="329" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Because every dream-come-true would teach yourself to dream more and believe even more.</em></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>PS: I&#8217;ll write something for each city I visited; later :)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another friends just moved to Balikpapan and brought along a bucket of memories. The problem was my inability to choose what ought to be inside the bucket.</p>
<p>We were going to cinema with light chit-chat yesterday when we bumped into a rumor about me. A rumor that was caused then spreaded by a girl who failed on her probation in the company I&#8217;m currently working for; back a couple of months ago. Well, I wouldn&#8217;t tell the juicy detail or write something like confirmation so people in my office who read my blog would see it from my side instead of hers. I didn&#8217;t see any point to matter such thing any longer, but I learned a thing anyway.</p>
<p>Previously, I was not used to deal with rumour. Especially when it involved people who hardly knew me looking at me judgmentally; just like pain in the ass. But then, some great people told me, &#8220;Let it be. People would soon forget about her.&#8221; So I let it be, and now I&#8217;m just fine.</p>
<p><em>Rumor comes and goes, and people would forget. However, karma is a bitch, so be very very careful with it.</em></p>
<p>Wait, and one more thing;</p>
<p><strong><em>If you are not doing good at work, ask yourself. Just don&#8217;t ask for excuses.</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Singnal Fire by Puty P, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/putypuar/6871220554/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7251/6871220554_7615a784b3.jpg" alt="Singnal Fire" width="500" height="273" /></a></p>
<p><em>Lessons learned</em>. It&#8217;s the dilemma of growing up. Some lessons turned to be boundaries and experiences are sometimes traumatic. The more lessons, the more I&#8217;m doubtful to try and fall. The more I read hauntingly-beautiful books, the cheesier other love fictions get. The more silence I discover in songs, the noisier television gets. The farther I fly, the farther I want to be; and as nights pass by, the more coffee I need.</p>
<p><em>Things&#8217;ve been changing. </em>I grow up &amp; regret some things I did when I was younger. But then, maturity includes accepting that everything&#8217;s happened for reasons. So instead of turning back time and undoing what I did or changing who I was more than half of decade ago, I wish for another chance. <em>If everything really happens for another reason.</em></p>
<p><em>Hey.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always think that my life is somehow similar to Singapore. <em>Busy, with rapid changes and constantly moving, yet interesting. Where &#8216;busy earning&#8217; and &#8216;busy spending&#8217; are back to back. Where every little empty space is filled with unbearable thoughts of being somewhere else.</em></p>
<p>But then I came back there last week and saw it a bit differently. The city was less hectic and more homey as if everything was just meant to be there.<em> It was strangely peaceful, yet pretty lonely.</em></p>
