Addicted to Europe (Part 2 - Reunion)

On the last post I said that I was going to Netherlands for crazy 2 weeks short short break, this trip is not so touristy like my usual trip. On the first week I traveled around NL to visit friends and family, those who are dear to my heart. I arrived on 05.59 in Schiphol, and took the train directly to Amsterdam Zuid, where my friend lives.

 I arrived on Sunday, the weather was quite nice, a bit chilly because it was windy. After I dropped my bag, we went to Amsterdam and do the "Rondvaart", I'll tell you about the details on the next post

Monday evening, I went to my mammie cendol house, and after dinner we went to see my Opa.
Tuesday night, I met up with my cousin who coincidentally on vacation in Netherlands. She lives in Naples (I went there on 2012 :D)

Wednesday, I went to see my best friend Dani who used to live in Culemborg (where the witch lives), and then I had dinner with my friend

Opa Herman (Bom) in Zaandam
Tias & Pandu in Amsterdam





Thursday, I went to Breda, the city I used to live in. I'm really in love with this city. On Hemelvaart weekend (The ascension day) they have a jazz festival. I didn't do a lot here, just meet some friends, make a nice meal for them.

Friday, before I went to Den Haag and meet mijn schatje (Ebhie). I did a nostalgic walk around the city center, to the place where I used to hangout at (Studio Dependance, where you can dance all night, they also have live music on Tuesday night).

 Saturday, we spent our day walking around the city center, trying to do some shopping with limited budget (we end up buying nothing significant, spent most of our money on food). But there's an interesting view in V&D, they had a talent show on their window display area (where the mannequins usually are) 

Lunch at McD with Ebhie

Sunday, last day in Den Haag. Of course I wouldn't forget to visit Redeemer International Church, where I found the true love. Just like the other day, we spent the day walking around, we had pizza for breakfast and KFC for lunch before I went back to Amsterdam.

Dreams, Hope, & Reality - LPDP Scholarship (LGD and Interview)

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 ...
