Stress

What is the meaning of stress?
And what is stress like? Have you ever taste stress or maybe tell everybody that you are stress now because too many work to do?

For me, I personally never felt stress (even though my body tell the opposite).

Because when you announce to everybody that you're stress, it surely means that you're not. How come, you are feeling stress because of too much work but still have time to think that you are being in a stress condition?

Stress people never felt that they are stress, but their body feel it and they will get sick.

One time, I had to prepare my visa to go abroad and many problems came. I already did many things to fulfil the requirement for the visa, but still, I couldn't control the visa to come out soon. I need the visa so that I could buy the cheap flight ticket (there was $600 different), so if i booked the ticket late, i'll loss $600. See the pressure?
Then because i worry and think about it too much (well, the visa issue always got in my dream at night), I became sick. I had a fever for 2 days straight and suddenly, on my first night of fever, one by one, every part of my body becoming numb (even my face). That was when i realised, i'm in a stress condition (even after my mom, which is a doctor, told me that).

You got my point people?


Oh and in the end, I loss $600 :)
So i got sick for NOTHING!! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH.

Just wanna share this because i'm sick of people always complaining that they are too busy or being stress.
Stop it people it's annoying.
Many other people are busier than you

Jalan-jalan : Basic info about Tunisia (North Africa)

Actually i'm not really into writing about my journey to Tunisia now.

It's just so hard to make the will to write this, makes me remember about all the memories and my friends, which i already miss so bad right now... MISS YOU GUYS!!
I mean, come on, more than 6 weeks I lived with them in the same house. 20 of us. It will be weird if i'm not miss them.

Okay, enough about 'miss my friends' part. I'll try to write every basic things about Tunisia in here.

first up:
Currency

In Tunisia, their currency is Tunisian Dinar. They usually wrote it as DT. 

At first i look up at the internet and they said like, people can't change their currency into Tunisian Dinar in their own country, because DT was forbid to go outside Tunisia. Even when you want to leave Tunisia and you still have your DT on you (you didn't exchange it back to your own currency), police at the airport have the right to search your bag and find the leftover DT from you even the smallest coin, so you really have to exchange it back. 

But Turns out, my friend from Portugal, exchange her money before coming to Tunisia. And i bring a lot of DT coins back to Indonesia, because you can't exchange below 50DT, if i'm not wrong.

So basically, people didn't really know Tunisia that much.

Also for Indonesian like me who love fruits very much, the fruits there was so cheap (except the banana)! Even when i bought them at the supermarket!! Their grapes, peach, cherry, plum, etc. Oh god, fruits heaven...

and for the
Transportation

- Flight : If you come from Indonesia, then just try to choose Egypt Air. Much more cheaper than any other flight. Start price : $600 (round trip, saw the price 2 months before the flight time). But then because of the visa was so hard to get, i couldn't booked the Egypt Air cheap ticket, and had to booked for Lufthansa. The Egypt Air ticket become way more expensive because i had to buy the ticket too sudden

- Inside city : There are many, such as private taxi (starting price 0.450DT), shared taxi or louage (1DT/journey, with specific area route, they wrote the route in bald arabic), tram (around 0.500DT), and bus (know nothing).

You can searched for tram route map in internet, but i don't think there is any for bus.

then shall we look at the food? Hehe my favourite part!
Food
People in Tunisia really love sweets. So you can easily find a bakery shop in every street (but they have the same menu in every shop, with a slightly different taste and variance).

Jalan- jalan : Tunisia (North Africa)

Actually, this journey was a mix between volunteer work and travel (at the end of the work). Sign up to be AIESEC Exchange Participant in summer 2015, and i got the project (for the volunteer job) in Tunisia. Just check out my video about this journey! Because i'm too lazy to write again about this whole experience (already wrote a lot in my AIESEC homework report).

Tunisia surprisingly was fun!

Jalan-jalan : Eropa part. 4 -- Belanda (Delft dan Den Haag)

Setelah terakhir saya di Tilburg, esoknya saya ke Delft.
Niat kesini awalnya mau menemani kakak ke IKEA dan waktu itu IKEA belum buka di Jakarta, maka saya sempet agak norak juga hehe.

IKEA Delft

Tapi rupanya setelah saya lihat dan bandingkan, segala hal IKEA ini mirip di Delft dan Jakarta, hanya 1 perbedaan, yaitu kalau di Jakarta, IKEA tidak akan bisa dikunjungi memakai transportasi umum... Sedangkan yang di Delft ini dapat kita capai dengan kereta lalu disambung bus.

Pusat kota Delft

Setelah dari IKEA, kita lanjut jalan-jalan dipusat kota Delft. Beberapa bangunan disini ada yang berdiri miring tetapi tetap kokoh.

Jalan-jalan : Eropa part. 3 -- Belanda (Gouda, Rotterdam, dan Tilburg)

Setelah sekian lama akhirnya ngelanjutin juga pos yang baru.

Jadi sebenarnya sebelum sampai di Belanda, saya transit dulu di Paris. Lumayan lama untuk keliling-keliling kota Paris, tapi sayangnya foto-foto ada di kamera bapak (saya ngga punya kamera) dan ada di memori card (hp) lain, jadi saya skip aja bagian Paris yah.

Saya punya beberapa tante&om yang tinggal disini (tersebar di beberapa kota) dan kakak-kakak yang waktu itu masih stay untuk mencari pekerjaan/melanjutkan S2.

Bandara nyambung sama Stasiun Kereta

Stasiun Kereta

Dijemput oleh mereka, tapi mobil yang jemput cuma bisa muat beberapa orang, akhirnya saya dan bapak naik kereta dan dengan pintarnya kami lupa bertanya mengenai jalur yang harus dinaiki. Bapak sudah cukup pusing dan jadi banyak marah-marah, akhirnya saya lah yang mencari rute kereta hehe.

Mari kita mulai cerita mengenai 3 kota di Belanda,

Gouda, merupakan kota tempat tante&om saya tinggal. Katanya sih kota keju. Saya juga sempat melihat pasar keju yang diadakan di central, tapi lagi-lagi foto ada di kamera bapak :(

Pembuktian bahwa Gouda kota keju

Jalan-jalan: Negara ASEAN part. 2 -- Transit Singapur dan Sampai di Bangkok

Yahuuuui akhirnya bisa juga ngelanjutin.

Kami berangkat dari Bandung, yang saya kira pengawasan koper cabin nya bakal seketat Jakarta (ditimbang segala macem), ternyata sangat longgar! Rugi banyak baju yang ditinggal :(

Setelah terbang ngga berapa lama, kami pun transit dibandara Singapura. Karena sudah terlalu malam, akhirnya kami memutuskan hanya berkeliling bandara saja. Tapi bandara Changi ini makin keren saja dari tahun ke tahun! Coba buka situs nya Changi, dan cari pdf berisi panduan bandara nya.

Ada Meditation room juga??

Enchanted Garden 

Bahkan saya ngga bisa tidur tengah malem tapi bisa gambar-gambar dengan crayon + kertas + cetakan gambar  yang merupakan fasilitas bandara! Kurang lengkap apa coba?
