<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Those who wants to travel thinks the same, how to get to the
places I want with the least amount of money the safest way and get the best
experience. But there’s also a phrase “no money, no glory.” </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now, how to come close to everybody’s wishes? Check your
options! If you’re traveling in the reagion that are close to each other, use
bus or train. But if it’s too far or too long to reach by bus, then use planes.
I’m going to give comparashion now:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">BUS.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It took longer ride but cheaper than any kind of transport.
I usually prefer an overnight bus ride, therefore I can save money for the
hostel by sleeping in the bus. It’s uncomfortable, of course, and a bit hard to
wake up the next morning feeling ultra fresh.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For me, a bus ride shouldn’t take longer than 8 hours. If
it’s longer than that, then budget flight surely a better and faster option.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">TRAIN.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Common sense is, this is the most expensive way to travel!
But if you got time to check all the great deals the train company sometimes
offers, go ahead. Mia and I got the best train ride from Berlin to Prague
thanks to her tenacious mind to get cheap tickets. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When you travel inside the country and want to go to another
country side, the train is the right choise, but when you’re planning to change
to the next country, bus or plane usually cheaper.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">PLANE.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The budget flights are a lot out there! But I’ve been dying
to make my own opinion about these two famous budget flights in Europe: RyanAir
and EasyJet. Here are the truth about them:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">the irony i captured when our flight delayed for 5 hours</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Cheap</i>. It’s so cheap, the CEO opted to sell a 5 Euro ticket as
long as the passenger willing to stand up during the flight. The flight safety
association was against this of course, but the CEO himself defended himself by
saying--i quote <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/ryanair-ceo-seatbelts-on-planes-are-pointless-2012-11" target="_blank">“<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; display: inline !important; float: none; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">You don't need a seatbelt on the London Underground. You don't need a seatbelt on trains which are travelling at 120mph and if they crash you're all dead..."</span></a><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Many Routes</i>. RyanAir has so many routes, from the one you imagine they’d
have until those places you never realized were on the map. So when you’re
planning to go somewhere but not really a favorite tourist destination, check
RyanAir first.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Delayed? Ha!ha!</i> You pay cheap money! What do you expect? I remember stranded
in the little airport outside Rome with Mia. We were planning to fly to
Barcelona. The plane was delayed for 5 hours then we had to search our hostel
in Barcelona at 2 in the morning (In Barcelona, the scammed city). </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Extra Cost.</i> A lot of them! If you have to pay extra for the
over weighted luggage, it’s your own fault. I’m talking about transport after
you arrived in your destination. To serve cheap flight, RyanAir chose to park
their planes not in the main airports unless that’s the only airport in the
area. I remember having to pay 15 Euro for a bus ride from France country side
to Paris that took 2 hours drive by bus. Almost like aiming to visit in Jakarta
but the plane landed in Bandung. In the end, the total price you have to pay
are just the same if you book the other budget flight that landed in the actual
main airport.</span></li>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Efficient.</i> That story of 2 hours ride to paris wont happened if we
chose to use EasyJet. EasyJet park their planes in the main airports so it’s
really easy to reach city center.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Cost More.</i> But you can book your seat if you want (or not). And you arrive in the main airport
so no need to pay extra for another transportation.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Less Route.</i> I hate this fact. The served a lot of routes but not many
enough as their competitor.</span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">During my Euro trip I used a lot of Ryanair services. It’s
the cheapest one that we could get and so far the track record was okay, so.
When Mia and I traveled the first time, all plane tickets we booked are Ryanair
except for the one from Prague to Milan, we used EasyJet service because
they’re the only budget flight serving that route.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I went into the next Euro trip the next year with my
parents, and my mom was not a huge fan of budget flight, she loves the price
obviously, but she’s afraid of flying. Moreover, in her mind, budget means less
save (I have no say in this, I always pray to take-off, fly, and land safely no
matter what plane I use.)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">mom posed in front of the infamous Ryanair once we arrived safely at Rome</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Long story short, my mom prefer EasyJet to Ryanair. But in
one trip from Barcelona to Rome we must take Ryanair because EasyJet doesn’t
serve that route.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As usual, we arrived at the airport 3 hours before
departure. We queued for half an hour. Once we got in front of the check-in
counter, the lady said we must stamp our passport first in this small counter
nearby. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">THERE WERE ONLY TWO COUNTERS TO SERVE ALL FLIGHTS! To make
matter worse, there were two American tourists that complained about the amount
of money they need to pay extra yada yada yada and they also created some drama
by yelling to the rest of the people that queued “don’t use Ryanair, they suck!
They gives cheap tickets but we have to pay a lot extra money!!” (pffftt,
classic huh!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Those American cost the rest of the passenger a hour of our
time, and by the time I got my passport stamped (one-and-a-half hour later) the
check-in counter closed. The lady said, just bring your luggage upstairs and
you need to pay 50 Euro for each bag, and your flight is boarding now!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">All liquids that are prohibited to enter the plane
cabin were stored inside the big luggage since we intended them all <b><i>not</i></b> to be our 'carry on'—which we had to bring upstairs.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We paid for the luggage a long time ago, and we had to pay again
because those stupid American tourists wasting people’s time.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The luggage was heavy, and we had to take it upstairs by
STAIRS!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In the x-ray, obviously all liquid had to be thrown out,
despite all our effort to pack in safely.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We literally dragged our luggage to the plane and yes, we’re
the lucky last passenger to arrived and still be able to board the plane.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I also knew there were several other people downstairs that
have to take the same plane as we were but still stuck in the queue.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ryanair served the Barcelona-Rome route only once a day. Can
you imagine how suck it was for the people that were left behind?! They had to
book a new flight, wait until the next day, pay more, lose precious time.</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My only advice for any tourist flying out from Barcelona is:
make sure you stamp your passport before checking you bag in. The stamp booth
located neat the entry of BCN T2 and it has English writing so people globally
should understand. If you’re not sure, then arrive at the airport 3 or 4 hours
prior your <i><b>BOARDING</b></i> time, not departure time. Because the “passport stamping”
also applied to EasyJet and other flights. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ever since I traveled with Mia, I learned one thing from
her, take as much pictures as you can! As I reviewed my old photo stock, the
reality struck me, I never took enough pictures to keep the memory alive. So I
learned my lesson, and on the next trip I always tried to capture everything
that caught my eyes.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">One of the things I like to share from my journey are the foods. No matter how mainstream and lame it is, I still like to take picture of my food before I ruin them. This happened in Seoul, Korea.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I went to this Korean BBQ restaurant that happened to be close to my hostel. It was winter when I came so to sit around the stove while waiting for your meat being cooked was very comforting.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">First I took the picture of the stove, then the meat, then the restaurant, last thing was the soju glass that has indicator of how many percent of alcohol you’ll consume in every milliliter you put in your mouth.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In Korea, you eat with a lot of side dishes and while I was taking these pictures the side dishes came, and we needed more space on the table and I had to put my camera away. Not long from that, the meat was cooked and ready to be eaten.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was our last day in Seoul so we had quite a lot of meal and prepared ourselves for the early flight tomorrow morning. We went back to the hostel early and repacked everything.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The next day, at the airport while I was waiting to be boarded, I wanted to take picture of the plane and the snow on the runway, so I dig in for my camera. <b>Only to found out it wasn’t there</b>. I usually put my camera in a little bag to protect the screen and I also checked the little bag, still wasn’t there. i get everything out of my bag and checked each and every corner but still hasn't found the camera. I asked my mom whether she remembered where my camera was and she said <i>“you had it with you the whole time yesterday.”</i> Now the tears are welling up in the corners of my eyes.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Then it hit me. Like those scene in a movie when everything just went in a slow motion, every memento of it just flashed before my eyes. When the side dishes came last night, I put the camera away to the side, near the soju glasses.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">On May 5<sup>th</sup> 2011 Mia and I continued our journey
throughout Europe, form Berlin to Prague. We took an approximately 5 hours train
ride. That’s one of the best train ride I had so far. The train had little
compartments with 6 seats in each compartments. Mia and I had the entire
compartment to ourselves. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The 5 hours train rode was awesome because we’re given a lot of mesmerizing view, and one of the best we’ve seen was Dresden. Dresden located 3 hours away from Berlin, the City itself surrounds by a river and during summer, the view was just too awesome. We both got out of our compartment to get a closer look, we even tried to videotape the scenery. But of course, our own eyes have greater pixels than any camera. So what’s beautiful in the eyes, sort of lost in the camera’s translation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I always wondered it’d be soft and cold. Well the very first
snow I saw was in Incheon Airport in Seoul and it’s the dirtiest

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Oh my god, I couldn’t retell the feeling I had when I touch
the white powdery ice and the first time I actually felt the snow fell from the
sky. It’s just awesome. The world is just awesome. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I tried everything I know in the snow handbook, squeezed it,
threw it, made angle by laying on it, licked it, and so on. I have to say the
cold wind was actually hell, my eyes couldn’t open in it’s right size because
the wind made it so dry, I cried. It also pierces through your bone and was
really hard to take a picture with my gloves on. The road was very slippery my
mother fell a lot of times. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After all it was a really nice experience and if I have any
chance to be in a snowy area during wintertime again, that’d be great.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It’s no secret that French people love themselves so badly. The
refuse to speak other language than their own, no wine but their own, no bread
but their own and the list goes on. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As a visitor I have to admit how lovely Paris is. It’s the
kind of city that you’ll get the sense of feminine building and beauty. I’m
just not the fan of the people. I’ve been to Paris three times, and when people
say “three times’ a charm” that’s bullshit. I still hate the city as much as I hated
it before. Why did I visit again? You may ask because I had no choice. Apparently
Paris located in one of the busiest international traffic, and when you want to
go elsewhere in Europe, you just have to cross France once in a while.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have some tips though, if you're lost and really need to ask someone look for a younger generation, somebody at least around your parents' age. T</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ry to at lest know these words: </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">excusez-moi,
parlez-vous anglais, s'il vous plait?</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (Pronounce: </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">scuze moa, parle vu anglais? Si
vu plei?</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">) and guarantee they will say </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">OUI!</b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> And help you. The key is to respect
their madness of their culture then they will respect you. Don’t forget to say “Merci—Thank
you” afterwards.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;">After my third time, I learned to respect their thing and I got
what I needed in return. When you came form one country that doesn’t speak
English and some foreigners speak you language, I bet you’ll be flattered by
their effort. It’s just the same with the French. They want us to respect their
land, and then they’ll respect us. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of the basic of human needs is food. All over the world
I actually enjoy any kind of food given to me. During my trip through Europe I
had to limit myself from trying all expensive yet appetizing food I saw,
because obviously I travel with a backpacker budget. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One city (or maybe the whole country also, i haven't done the whole research) in particular is
really expensive. I couldn’t even buy a beer because it costs too much for my
pocket. Copenhagen, Demark is one of the over-expected city according to me. I
mean, I looks pretty and everything but the city itself still not as pretty as
Stockholm—in my opinion. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now back to food, Mia was told by her friend to buy a waffle
in Stroget because her friend thought there’s no waffle in the world would beat
the awesomeness of this recommended one. When we passed by the stall, Mia
decided to pay a quite large amount of money to get her waffle. Our comment
after we tried it? Her friend surely hasn’t tried Belgium waffles in Belgium.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In my country fast food grows so fast we have one in every
corner. You name it, KFC, McDonald, Wendy’s, and so on. When we stepped in
Skandinavia, KFC was the one that missing. And guess what, Copenhagen has one!!
We got so exited, we got into the shop and looked up the menu behind the
counter. Then our jaw dropped. For a light menu in Indonesia that cost 2 euros,
cost 22 euros in Copenhagen, so after a while we decided just to cook our
lunch/dinner back at our hostel.</span></div>

the view on the English Channel</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
So I was crossing English Channel at night from Amsterdam. I was with my family this time, apparently this was our first time to go London. Little did I know that we had to cross the channel (I thought we could go by the under water tunnel the French and British are so proud about).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
We arrived at Calais, the port where ferries to the U.K depart from Western Europe. Although there are several other options of ports, this port actually the one that covers the shortest journey, took about 45 to 60 minutes to get across. I’ve never been in a ferry before, not even in my country. So when I got into the deck I was surprised by how decent the ferry actually is. Of course since I don’t have any comparisons it’s hard to judge but I heard a lot rumors about the shitty ferries here in Indonesia.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
Moving on, it was past midnight and believe me, even though it’s summer time, the weather above the English Channel was chilly, and we were sleepy. The bus ride wasn’t the most comfortable accommodation for a good night sleep and the ferry’s seats look more appealing than the ones in the bus.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
We found a spot, and slept.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
While I tried to sleep, I still could hear my surroundings and that placed me in between sleep/awake phase. I couldn’t find a nice position so I opened my eyes and tried to look for another option of sleeping style.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
That’s when I realize someone’s staring at me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
He looked a little bit like James McAvoy with his glistening green eyes looking at me. He was stunned at first when he realized I caught him starring. I was amazed honestly, he looked cute. Then he smiled at me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
And I closed eyes again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
I should’ve smiled back. Maybe I could know him better. Maybe I would have a friend in another country if I only had the courage to smile. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
This is a hard lesson for anyone who has a low self esteem (like me), smile!! It never hurts to smile. You’ll never know what might come for in your adventure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
P.S: I still remember the fact that he rode a Peugeot 206 (MY DREAM CAR!!—so much for the regret, huh!), plate number X-JP-563 [B] (which I still have no idea which country it represent, but I was thinking the [B] meant Berlin, and the rear mirror had a sticker says “I brake for Kobolds”</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">if only i’m lucky enough to live in America or Europe where people praise traveling so much they made a lot of shows about it, i’d like to be one of the presenter. i always envy Samantha Brown and Anthony Bourdain, they have very interesting personality that meets the traveler tendencies. the other thing that i envy about them is of course, being able to travel for living. there’s a famous quote saying from Confucius, “Choose a <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">job you love</em>, and you will never have to <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">work</em> a day in your life.” i guess not everyone is lucky enough to have that.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">i still consider myself lucky. i got a special privilege to get cheap tickets, i was introduced to travel since i was little. therefore, i got a chance to see the world outside my home country, Indonesia. this is my new year's resolution to actually have a blog dedicated to my travel activities.</span></div>
