Assalamu ‘alaikum wr wb.

Hello dear readers, I am writing to you on my journey back to Jakarta. Di atas kereta Gumarang Eks-2 kursi yang nemplok ke jendela. Sorry ya mau sombong dikit soalnya gegara sekarang kerjaannya bolak-balik Jakarta Semarang mainannya cuma Kereta Ekonomi, mentok-mentok Ekonomi Premium. Tetapi karena untuk kali ini udah kehabisan tiket, kita naik ekse lagi. Heu zaman sudah berubah Alfonso.

Kalo inget zaman dulu bolak balik Jakarta Semarang ogah kalo nggak naik kereta ekse. Wkwkwkwk. Demi beli berlian cyin, musti hemat.. #gayalumak

Well, sejak Jumat lalu saya menghabiskan long weekend bersama keluarga dan juga my adorable son di Yogyakarta. Masih perlu digarisbawahi, Yogyakarta adalah kota favorit keluarga kami. My Mum and Dad kinda have special bond with this wonderful city. Jauh sebelum saya atau adik saya sekolah di sana. My parents from time to time sudah suka sekali ke Yogyakarta. Di tambah adekku dan aku juga pernah lama tinggal disana akhirnya kita semua punya bond khusus, termasuk Awo.

Hallo!!

Sekitar akhir November tahun kemarin dalam rangkaian kunjungan saya ke Sanya, China, Saya sempat mengunjungi sebuah area konservasi budaya suku pribumi di Pulau Hainan. Nama area konservasinya adalah Li and Miao Minority People Village. Jelas lah ya dari judul tempatnya. Hahahaha…

Area konservasi ini, selain melestarikan Suku-Suku pribumi Pulau Hainan yang sebenarnya terdiri dari beberapa suku, namun yang utama adalah orang-orang Li dan Miao—juga merupakan atraksi wisata. Pengunjung disuguhi beragam sajian, mulai dari museum-museum yang berisikan aneka rupa keragaman budaya, praktik keseharian orang-orang Li dan Miao yang berbeda jauh dari kebiasaan orang-orang Tiongkok daratan, suguhan drama dan tari-tarian, hewan hingga budaya debus yang ternyata ada.

Pertunjukan Musikal tari dan drama yang menggambarkan kehidupan mereka sehari-hari

atraksi debus ala-ala orang Hainan

Hello readers? How are you?
*dengan nada bicaranya Sherlock Holmes versi Benedict Cumberbatch

Anyway last weekend I had a weekend gateway on The Thousand Islands, quite close and actually those islands are still in the administrative region of Jakarta.

It started by the plan made months ago to go to somewhere near, by couple of my bachelor colleagues. Then we actually realized the plan last weekend by going to Harapan Island, The Thousand Islands, Jakarta. That was my first time visiting that widely know tourism attractions, infamous with snorkeling and diving spots, white-sand beaches and beautiful sunrise and sunset.

Assalamu ‘alaikum readers…

Haa… Time flies and now it is already December. I dont know, might be it is one of Big City syndrome, every weekend I just want to get out from Jakarta. Going somewhere quite far on weekend means another fatigue added though. Hahaha…

Ideally I shall use my weekend to recharge (read: sleep) but in practical, my unstoppable will wins (as always). I believe it is strongly—yet still probably—related to age and companion and strength and my single status and money availability. Ahaha…

Assalamu ‘alaykum, Hello everyone!

Shame on me to take more than two weeks delay to post the next Research Trip post. As you knew, I am doing my research’s field work in Kudus, Central Java. Early of last week, I was being reviewed by reviewer from ITC, and this last weekend something big happened so I didn’t really have time to make even a simple post, my apologizes.

Well, you can call me a drama queen but my latest research trips all are about music video materials. Ke ke ke ke.. Started from the third day,

Last Saturday was my first day of research trip in Patiayam Mountain’s feet, Tegalrejo Village, Kudus Regency. I need to take some soil samples and do cross check of land covers. Anyway,

Heyho…

Saya baru pulang dari ngurus surat-surat penelitian di Kabupaten Kudus, dan ternyataaa negara ini masih negara birokrasi, ngurus penelitian antar provinsi musti pengurusan melalui kesbangpolinmas lintas provinsi. Artinya saya musti ngurus dari Yogyakarta, trus ke Provinsi Jawa Tengah di Semarang, baru turun ke Kabupaten Kudus. What a stuff!

Anyway, untuk mengusir kepenatan, saya teringat janji saya beberapa minggu lalu (bulan mungkin) mau melanjutkan seri Traveling Talk: Eropa Trip untuk bagian 3. Di bagian ini saya akan menuliskan

It started when we found cheap one way plane tickets from several cities to others in Europe, and the plan begun to arise… Spain, Italy and France, yeay…
