Sorry for the very lack of post. Even the last post about my trip to Karimunjawa hadn't finished yet. What a mess. Gotta tell you all about the trip, but now i don't have enough desire to type it all again. Since, the name of this blog really portray about travel, i should've taken care of it. But i was not as my main reason why i made this blog was to increase my written skill but i don't want people read my blog unless my best friend.
So, besides my trip to Karimunjawa, i went to Hong Kong and Shenzhen(South China) for study tour which was cool. I had so much fun, i knew more a lot about MICE (Meeting, Incentive, Convention, and Exhibition) itself and it felt so amazing to be able to see and know about different culture, weather, people and food. So, basically this tour wasn't really meant for pleasure but instead to built our knowledge. We had to see how MICE works in the big country such as Hong Kong and Shenzhen. So, i will tell you more about this trip soon.

Karimunjawa

Actually we planned only 4 days before the trip. So, here we are....

Day 1

We went to Semarang by train, it took about 9 hours. We went there at 4 pm and arrived in Semarang at 1 am. Yeah, we definitely had no idea how to got to Jepara in the middle of the night. But how lucky we were, there was an angkot parked in front of the train station. So, we asked the driver if he could take us to the Jepara Harbour. We had to be on the Harbour before 6 am. Because the boat would leave at 8 am. Here is the photo my friend took in the angkot.

And finally, we arrived on the Harbour at 3.30 am. Kinda early, but at least we could get something to eat at the restaurant that still open near the Harbour. At 6.30 am we got in on the boat. How lucky we were, we got the seat because the boat was hella crowded.

After freakin 6 hours on the crowded boat, we were finally in Karimunjawa :)

And now we had to go to our homestay house, we had to walk about 15 minutes.

What a tiring and long journey. So, after we arrived at our homestay. We directly went to swim on the beach near the Harbour, actually the beach was not that good. I thought it would be good but it wasn't. Kinda disappointed. But i believed, the surrounded islands would be fascinating. 

After an hour and a half swimming. We had a late lunch or an early dinner at the street restaurant. it was delicious though. And then we took a shower and bought some martabak to celebrate christmas, yeah one of my friends was celebrating christmas.

Day 2

Woke up at 6. Had a breakfast then went to the the boat that would bring us to the islands.

Unfortunately the weather was not like we expected, the wind blows so hard, and raining. But, it did not take so long. At 8 am, our boat left the Karimunjawa island and go straight to the unknown island.

First stop. We went snorkeled. It was beautiful, and there was a small island that there has no tree or anything else, just sands.

After that, we headed to another island, we were gonna had a lunch there.

And there are some photos we took in that island

And the next stop was..... Snorkeling again!!! Yeahhhh

After snorkeling, we stopped in the unknown island. There was no inhabitants there. And there were only cows that lived there. And the best part was, we almost got hit by cows. Holy crap, the only thing that crossed on my mind on that moment was i would die in the segregated island and would be on the toworrow's newspaper said "Four students got hit by cows and died" Yeah how terrible. 

 After that we went home and couldn't wait for tomorrow

Day 3

Here you go

Hell yeah, i promised to write about the trip to Karimunjawa a week ago. I was supposed to write it on January18th. But here i am, tomorrow for me is like a week later. Sorry, i was sick :( But don't worry. I surely tell the trip about now :)

Happy new year

Hi! Happy new year!! Yeah i know, kinda late. But better late than never right? Sorry for the lack of post. Been so busy recently. Go to wall street because i have to catch up about 8 units otherwise i will have to add a month contract (which is so freakin expensive for me) until i graduate on mastery 2. And then go to the gym, and final examsssss. But finally, final exams was over. Studied my ass off to get the perfect GPA. Hopefully, the GPA will be above 3.5. Amen. Three weeks ago, my friends and i got back from Karimunjawa. Gonna write about our trip and experiences we got there here. I will write it tomorrow, because i am so sleepy right now and tomorrow morning i am going to swimming with my friends. So i have to get enough sleep and energy xixixixi

Yeaay

Okayyyy, lets move to the good news. Forget and put all the bad news away. So, the good news is my classmates and i are going to Karimun Jawa this week. Gonna have some good holiday there before final exams. But, we gotta talk about the trip tomorrow, talk about the prize, accommodation, transportation etc. Hopefully, we can go there this week without having any problem.

Huffftttt

That feeling when your parents didnt allow you to do something that you'd die for it. Yeah, when i said i would go to Ukraine for the project, at first they said yeah yeah whatever go prepare for it. So, ive been through of it. This and that. And then i took that bigger expectations what would i do there. Snowy, new cultures, new people, local food, new hot guys, new friends from all over the country, you named it. But then, all of the sudden when i suddenly said that my seniors arranged something that people in my major are able to go to Hongkong to visit some places a.k.a study tour. They (especially my lovely dad) suddenly said (the most statement that i didnt want to hear for my whole life) "Nia, you really should join that tour! And i was like OMG what i just said? So, i ignored it for like a week cause i thought that he was joking. Then, 2 days ago he suddenly said "how's hongkong? have you registered it yet ? how much is the price?" and i shockly said "are you serious? how about ukraine? i've been interviewed, if i cancel the project we will lose at least 2 million rupiah. And about hongkong it costs $780" Then my dad said "I prefer if you go to hongkong than ukraine. Is the lecturer will be also going to hongkong?" and then i said yes. So, the conclusion (which i wont write the whole conversation i had with my dad) here is he would not allow me to go to Ukraine which is nowhere, in catholic orthodox country, in the one of those uni soviet country all by myself. Kthxbye

please please please

So, i always keep praying for the project that i am going to take in Hungary in January-February will be mine. Please, i really want this project so much. But, my exchange participant's said that they havent send him an invitation letter yet. So, he gave me another option or another alternative country that i am going to go. He gave me Bulgaria which i prefer Hungary much. Not only because of the country, but also the project i am going to take. So, the project are.... I have to teach English in Secondary School and introduce Indonesian tourism and culture which its really matched with my major. So, i am really putting to much hope to AIESEC in Hungary and of course Allah SWT :)
