Luzern

Worth visiting!

Overheard at this place

well not really want to visit Luzern at the beginning coz it looks such a tiny dot in Switzerland map. But then when the train stopped I just impulsively pull myself out and never regret it.

It became my most favorite place in Europe. The first one … well I haven’t been to Prague so I wouldn’t know. But Luzern is just beautiful from every angle. Make sure that you bring somebody with you so you can share the enthusiasm together :)

Fiesch

Worth visiting!

The last time I went to this place

It was my first time ever in Europe. Took a car with couple of friends. Guess what…it was great trip! We literally had our car in the train in order to reach Fiesch. Beautiful view and in the evening, the houses looks like a christmas card view with snow and dim light. Indeed a beauty…would love to go back there someday.

Purwokerto

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

Make sure that you visit Baturaden. Not the spot that I like but more the road to baturaden that I love. It is so full with ricefield (ugh at least four years ago) and you will see the great Merapi volcano as the background. Baturaden itself is a hot spring.

Purwokerto is well-known for its food. The Soto from Purwokerto especially those from Jalan Bank!!! Ai ai ai…will melt any food criticus. I love the cendol from purwokerto..honestly I can think theirs is the best. I happened to live near Baturaden for almost two years.

purwokerto is easy to reach from jakarta. Take the train…it lies between jakarta yogyakarta route.

Bandar Seri Begawan

(in Brunei)

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

If you ever transit in Brunai then you better off to Bandar Seri Begawan (BSB). It was not that far and it was nice to see something else beside the airport. It was easy to take bus from airport to BSB as long as you don’t get back too late.

Make sure you visit Kampong Ayer and at that time we visited jurong park. It was kind of Mini Disneyland with almost no queque. Last time in 2000 it was for free. Dunno know. Hope so.

Wear decent clothes…it is a moslem country after all. Even for Indonesian like me, it felt more strict when it comes to clothes eventhough Brunai people most likely would understood that you are tourist anyway. If suddenly at certain hours there were nobody around you to help you with things then most likely that is a time for prayer. just wait for sometime and business will get back to usual 15 minutes after adzan (the call for prayer).

I think it is great to go there once and it is worth to go there for once but don;t think would go there for more than once or twice.

Philippines

(in Asia)

Worth visiting!

The first time I went to this place

for a student conference. We were in a hotel (i believe trader hotel was the name) located near the kind of amusement park and it seems like their clients most of the time from Japan (or looks like japanese).

manila is almost like Jakarta. you can see difference between rich and poor. we were taken to old manila and it was nice to see how it is preserved. Nice atmosphere.

Make sure you take ride to Tagaytay..really relax…
