Belgium

Belgium, the country across the Netherlands border, I'm lucky that I lived in Breda, so it's really close to Belgium border, and I can just take the train and I'll be there in an hour or so.

What to love about Belgium?
  1. Belgian Waffle, of course you gotta try the belgian waffle when u're in Belgium, my favorite is Leonidas, but the one that you find in Station is good as well
  2. Forever 21, it's one of the store that you can't find in NL, so going to Belgium can be one of your shopping alternative
  3. Beautiful Old Buildings, the buildings in Belgium is kinda similar with the one in Amsterdam. but it's still worth to visit or just for a weekend break

How to get there?  

From NL you can just take a train or bus to Belgium. I preferably train because it's faster, and if you're under 26 you can use the "Young People" tariff, which is cheaper than normal tariff. To buy a train ticket you can just go to the train station and buy it from the machine or just go to the ticket and service counter and buy it there (with extra 0.75euro cost if I'm not mistaken). Or you can buy it online and take the benefit of Go Pass Roosendaal, a one way ticket which only 7.20 from Roosendaal to any station in Belgium.

Where to stay?
Well, there are lots of hostel and hotel in Belgium, but I prefer to do a day trip if I went to Antwerpen, because it's only an hour from Breda (my home). You can just google to find a cheap hostel or try couchsurfing

The next step after the administration process is Leaderless Group Discussion and interview. The process usually take 2 days, depends on your luck, some people finish it in 1 day. A day before the said schedule on their timeline, you will receive an email with details about the venue and which group are you in. All participant need to be there at 8 AM, my location was at STAN Student Center, Bintaro. Luckily my aunt lives in Bintaro, so I stayed over at her place which is 10 minutes away from the venue. Without further due, I will tell you about the process December 2nd I couldn't sleep the night before, I guess I was nervous. I woke up around 5ish, because we had to be there on 7.30. I left around 6.15, because I didn't want to be late. When I got there, the place is already crowded with hundreds of participant, I found an empty seat next to someone, I didn't really remember his name, we had a short conversation. There are lots of great people there, some of them are yo...

Living in Europe - Survival Guide (Part 1)

In this post I'll share information about what to do, what to bring, and what to have when you decided to become an Au Pair, or maybe when you decided to move to Netherlands for Travel, doesn't matter how you come here, I'm here to help you enjoy the most of it:   What to bring: Credit Card(s): Why? Well, you will need credit card to book plane ticket, hotel, etc. Make sure you have enough money on your bank account to pay your credit card. I use internet banking facility to pay my credit card bill. But if you don't have credit card, it should be fine, you can ask the hostfamily or maybe your friends to help you book the ticket. But for me it means less freedom, and sometimes they are too busy, and you'll miss the opportunity to get the cheap-promo ticket. It's your call :) Minimum amount of clothes: Why? Clothes here are cheaper than in your home country (at least for me, since I come from Indonesia), and you can get nice clothes and maybe branded stuff ...
