  • 10 Destinasi Medan: Sebentar yang Merindukan

    <—-Kisah Sebelumnya Aku tak pernah memberi kesempatan sedikitpun terhadap otak untuk berfikir panjang. Menunggang ojek online, aku mengucap sayonara pada Terminal Amplas yang sepertinya tak rela ditinggal pengunjung yang sudi meluangkan waktu untuk mengenalnya. 15 menit kemudian, aku sudah hinggap di destinasi utama kota Medan. Tak lain lagi dialah: 1. Istana Maimun Istana yang namanya…

  • National Mosque….Malaysia’s Independence Symbol

    Blue Hop on Hop Off bus little bit squeak in braking when entering a bend that leads this tourist bus into a worship building which is full of charisma. “Nash(ә)n(ә)l mäsk”…. My mouth spelled a black marble with gold alphabet. “Ladies and gentlemen, who want to visit the mosque, please get off here. Have a…

  • DAMRI Kualanamu: Mengejar Amplas yang Semakin Menua

    <—-Kisah Sebelumnya Bahkan seminggu sebelum terbang, pilihan telah kutetapkan. Bukan “Si cepat dari Woojin”, apalagi “si burung biru”yang biasa berlalu lalang di Kualanamu. Pilihanku tetap pada transportasi ala rakyat yang bersahabat dengan kantong. Tak lain lagi, itu DAMRI. Terduduk kantuk di ruang tunggu stasiun kereta bandara lalu mengamati para eksekutif menggeret kopernya, berkejaran dengan waktu…

  • Genting Highlands….Tourist Gem on Titiwangsa Mountain Summit.

    Inexperienced to sleep in a room with a Central AC made me didn’t really sleep because of cold. The advantage which I got was keeping myself from welcoming the dawn which was slowly present. At 5:30am, I started bathing in shared bathroom. That were all because of me. Agosto Inn staff were stunned and rushed…

  • Bukan Silangit, Tapi Kualanamu

    <—-Kisah Sebelumnya Dulu, kalau memikirkan Medan (sebelum aku benar-benar mengunjunginya) maka tempat pertama yang kubayangkan adalah Danau Toba….Parah, padahal Danau Toba berada di Kabupaten Simalungun, sedangkan Kota Medan berada 190 km di utara Danau. Persepsi kembali berubah saat digalakkannya era optimalisasi bandar udara di seluruh negeri. Ketika mendengar kata “Medan” maka yang terbayang secara otomatis…

  • KL Sentral….Awesome Transit Oriented Building

    I don’t know how many times I’ve said KL Sentral as far as publishing this 221 traveling articles. I remember, I have five times traced this phenomenal building. Five years also, various sides and interesting moments which I stole from Kl Sentral languishing in external hard disk which neatly wrapped in a desk drawer in…

  • Batu Caves….India Trace in North of Kuala Lumpur

    A. KLIA2 to Batu Caves Route Step 01. KLIA2-KL Sentral Heading to 1st floor which is location of KLIA2 Transportation Hub, I rushed to Skybus sales counter. Rates of USD 2.6 was enough to move me from KLIA2 to KL Sentral which is located in center of Kuala Lumpur city. I spent 50 minutes traveling…

  • 24 Tourist Attractions at Kuala Lumpur in 3 Days 2 Nights

    A flight to Kuala Lumpur, which was barely caught due to race with time along Jakarta-Serang toll road, was added with pale faces due to the bitter interrogation of Malaysian immigration staff because of my inconclusive appearance, then making my heart and spirit go high together with my success first steps to leave the KLIA2…

  • KTM Laluan Seremban….The Main Line of Batu Caves Tourism.

    My arrival which was too late in KL Sentral made my schedule a mess. The first day when I had to visit Genting Highlands must be delayed. “You need to go back at night if you go this afternoon. If you go back in the evening, you won’t get anything there” a joked from staff…

  • Intipan Hypothermia di Taj Express Menuju New Delhi

    Buseet….Dikejar pengemis cilik yang tak terima karena cuma kukasih sebungkus beng-beng coklat yang kubawa dari Jakarta sejak seminggu lalu. “No….I need money”, katanya sembari terus mengintili aku dari belakang. Bahkan ketika aku membongkar isi backpack untuk mengontrol apakah ada benda-benda mencurigakan masuk setelah seharian kutaruh tas itu di bagasi taxi, si bocah tetap berdiri sembari…
