Table Mountain – Bermain di Atas Awan

Leave a comment

Postingan kedua dalam seri “Travelling to Africa”. Biasanya orang itu akan searching tempat wisata atau point of interest sebelum beli tiket, tapi pas ke Afrika kemarin saya kebalik. Beli tiket dulu baru deh searching ada apa aja sih di sana. Ketika saya searching “what to in Cape Town”, “Top 10 attractions in Cape Town”, etc maka Table Mountain ada di urutan pertama. Kalau baca review, rekomendasi atau blog orang-orang pun mereka selalu bilang “belum ke Cape Town kalau belum mengunjungi Table Mountain. Penasaran dong memangnya sebagus apa sih? komentar pertama saya ketika saya lihat gambar nya adalah “Hah? apa bagusnya sih? cuma gunung batu gini doang, bagusan gunung di Indonesia deh. Ga tinggi-tinggi banget juga, hiking doang paling cuma tiga jam, ada kereta gantung nya pula”

Ternyata saya salah besar

Yangon.

Kalau liat film-film jadul sih ini lumayan mirip Jakarta tahun 70an.

Kotanya agak kotor, berantakan dan ramai. Kalau denger cerita deskripsi tentang Mumbai, mungkin kota ini mirip.

Setiap jalan selalu diliatin, mungkin masyarakat di sini belum terbiasa sama pendatang. 70% orang sini selalu pakai sarung, pakaian yang menjadi ciri khas nya. Tapi so far orang-orang nya ramah.

Biaya hidup di sini murah banget, terutama makanan. Katanya sih kota ini aman banget buat turis. Tapi agak ga yakin karena kalau malem jalanan nya agak gelap, jarang lampu penerangam kecuali di daerah central nya.

Masyarakat di sini sepertinya multi-ras banget. Masih jarang nemuin orang yang lancar Bahasa Inggris, ngomong pakai bahasa isyarat aja di sini 😂😂

English Class at Siem Reap

Bukan tipe orang yang bikin itinerary kalau lagi jalan-jalan. Lebih suka getting lost aja karna biasanya malah nemu yang seru-seru.

Contoh nya sekarang ini, lagi jalan-jalan ke kuil lalu nemu kelas Bahasa Inggris untuk orang lokal.

Kelas Bahasa Inggris ini dalam sehari ada dua sesi, siang dan malam. Siang ada 10 murid, sedangkan malam 20 murid. Siang ini hanya dua muridnya karena yang lain tidak bisa hadir. Plus 3 orang murid baru dari Indonesia hahaha.

Mereka seneng banget ketemu orang asing, katanya sekalian latihan Bahasa Inggris nya. – at Wat Preah Prohm Rath

CNY Dinner Menu

Homemade Chinese New Year dinner by me.

Appetizer : Dumpling Soup
● The shape of the dumplings are said to resemble old ingot-shaped coins or yuanbao. As such, the dumplings are meant to bring eaters prosperity and wealth.
● Soup for “everything better than last year”.

Main Course : Pan Seared Dorry Steak & Sauteed Kale with Oyster Sauce and Garlic
● Fish : as the Chinese word for fish, ‘yu,’ sounds like the word for abundance.
● Green leafy vegetables for a green year and good harvest.

Dessert : S’mores Dip
● Serving desserts brings a sweet life in the new year.

Drink : Mixed Strawberry & Orange Juice
● As per Chinese beliefs, oranges and tangerines are depictions of wealth, luck, and happiness.
● And the red color of this drink reflects the treasure of happiness the New Year will offer. – with Mutya and Tengku M Rizaldi at Rizal’s Secret Chamber

My One-Quarter-of-a-Century

birthday galore

Thank you, God, for giving me another year of life.
Thank you for all the people who remembered me today
by sending cards, and letters, gifts and good wishes.

Thank you for all the experience of this past year;
for times of success which will always be happy memories,
for times of failure which reminded me of my own weakness and of my need for YOU,
for times of joy when the sun was shining,
for times of sadness which drove me to YOU.

Forgive me
for the hours I wasted,
for the chances I failed to take,
for the opportunities I missed this past year.
Help me in the days ahead to make this the best year yet,
and through it to bring good credit to myself,
happiness and pride to my loved ones,
and joy to YOU. Amen.
