Apalagi di akhir tahun seperti sekarang ini. Wuih, sepertinya seru banget liat-liat plang brand-brand terkenal bertuliskan SALE.

Bahkan beberapa waktu lalu, Dalton Tanonaka dalam program MetroTV, “Indonesia Now”  di penghujung obrolannya menjelaskan panjang lebar keherannya melihat banyak orang Indonesia justru belanja jauh-jauh ke negeri tetangga. Karena baru saja ia ke Orchard Road untuk urusan bisnis dan melihat harga sebuah brand ternama mahalnya 3 kali lipat daripada di Senayan. Wah wah wah…Langsung saja, ia memilih untuk belanja di Jakarta, dan selisih harganya ia gunakan untuk makan-makan sepuasnya…     Hmmm…  pilihan yang bijak… 

Kemeriahan kota Jakarta saat ini tampak di Pusat Perbelanjaan. Di Gandaria City ada pertunjukan akrobatik dari luar negeri. Bahkan ada adegan meluncur dari lantai tertinggi ke panggung di lobi… WAOW …

Tak seperti biasanya pula, Pondok Indah Mal memeriahkan ruang terbuka di lantai dasarnya dengan es…  iya, jadi bagi anak-anak bisa belajar Ice Skating disitu… wuih…  Serasa ada salju turun di tengah Mal nih… hehhe…      Paduan suara anak-anak terdengar dari lantai atas menggemakan suaranya.

Eits, di Senayan Plaza juga ada paduan suara anak-anak dan bahkan artis Ibukota akan bernyanyi pada jam yang ditentukan. Dekor bak salju juga nampak di sini.

Di Seberangnya, di Senayan City ada dekor natal yang cukup fancy, boneka Santa dan para rusanya… Sudut itu banyak mengundang perhatian pengunjung yang lewat untuk berfoto di depannya. Selain karena tampak elegan, juga karena boneka Santa bisa bergerak-gerak…hihi…

Yang pasti di Mal-mal tadi terlihat plang besar-besar SALE….  Sebagian barang Sale memang ada yang masih cukup mahal, tapi bagi yang fanatik pada beberapa brand, pastilah ini saat yang ditunggu-tunggu…  karena di hari lain, belum tentu SALE nya sebesar ini.

Well, then, happy shopping, happy window shopping, happy holiday!

Just ENJOY JAKARTA – a paradise for shopaholic…

Lately, I learn cycling again. This time in Jakarta. A city where I was born, grew up, had a career, met my husband…

At first, I was a bit nervous about riding a bike since it has been a very long time for me; and I never tried folding bike nor mountain bike before.

Then, I remember the yellow bike. (Let me show you the bike in another session) About 15 years ago, I regularly cycled from my boarding house to my campus in Yogyakarta Province ( A province having natural disaster caused by Mount Merapi explotions). Yellow hmmm.. yellow was a rare colour for an adult bike, I suppose? ‘Sepeda mini’ they call it or mini bike, it’s a female bike with a basket on the front…

Some people laughed at me riding the yellow bike, but others try to buy it from me. Of course it’s not for sale coz it’s my mother’s bike… 

Now, I remember once again that there’s a fun feeling when we ride the bike… A popular saying about a bike is “ones you ride it you never forget how…”  So, no matter what your bike is, just keep riding it and be proud of it. Coz being pro green and sporty is not a crime, you know.

Hai there…

To escape from daily routines, I suggest you to go some where, some place a-not-so-popular one… to discover new things. I’m sure it would be exciting. Say, have you ever heard a place named ‘Luwuk’? It’s in the Central Sulawesi (Indonesia), Banggai District. You can reach Luwuk from Jakarta, Surabaya (East Java)  and Makassar (Central Sulawesi). At least you need 3.000.000 Rupiah (Usd 351) for the return ticket from Jakarta.

The climate is hot or heavily rain. So, make sure you bring your sunscreen in your bag and an umbrella. And, you always have to prepare yourself for very spicy chilly food…   But for me, it’s fun!

By traveling to this region, you will be exploring more than half of the country’s width. The only direct flight (2 stops) will take you about 7 hours on the sky. So, are you ready?

Bagi yang mau liburan, ikut kapal pesiar sepertinya mengasikkan. Tetapi, kalau tidak dipersiapkan dengan baik, malah jadi BT dan tidak optimal liburannya. Nah, makanya, baca deh tips and tricknya..  Ok, happy holiday!

The art of cruising, like chess and cricket, takes time and expertise to master. That’s why we asked some of the most well-traveled, cruise-savvy folks we know—hundreds of readers and a handful of pros—for their best advice.

By Amy Chen and Sherri Eisenberg, May 2010 issue | Subscribe to the magazine

1. Traveling with a large family or a group of friends? Bring along walkie-talkies (such as Motorola’s Talkabouts) to keep everyone connected without cell phone roaming charges. Sherry Brooks, Westlake Village, Calif.

2. You’re almost always charged extra for soft drinks, beer, wine, and cocktails at meals. But if you stick to juice, you can drink for free (on most ships). Kathy Pagliei, Swarthmore, Pa. (of Accessible Journeys)

3. On every cruise we’ve taken, my wife tapes a balloon to our cabin door. That way, our stateroom stands out in the long hallway. Eli Rose, Tampa, Fla.

4. Many major cruise lines provide free passage to guests qualified to lecture on board. Call the line’s entertainment office to see if you have the necessary skills. Uvonne McCarty, Sparks, Nev.5. Nearly every cruise line will toss in one free cabin if you travel in a group of 15 or more. Carolyn Spencer Brown, Pennington, N.J. (of cruisecritic.com)

6. If you book while you’re aboard, some lines offer a discount of $175 and up on the deposit for future trips. More good news: You can usually get a refund on your deposit if you decide to cancel later. Jeff Pugel, New York, N.Y.

7. Before booking, check deck plans online to confirm your cabin isn’t beneath a well-traveled area. Many ships have a lido deck buffet, where diners eat poolside. When they drag around chairs, it can make quite the ruckus in rooms right below. N.W. Pope, Scottsdale, Ariz.

8. When cruising with our two toddlers, we book a single cabin with twin beds. Pushing them together allows us to sleep sideways, with one parent at the bottom as a guardrail. This only works if you aren’t tall! Jimmy Kung, Brooklyn, N.Y.

9. To avoid the check-out bottleneck, ask for a printout of your bill the day before disembarking. If there are any discrepancies, you can resolve them early and totally relax on your last day at sea. Jack Sigano, Nutley, N.J.

BOOKING TIPS

10. Spring for last-minute deals For those with a flexible schedule, it’s hard to beat short-lead, online sales. Check out consolidators (icruise.com and cruisestar.com) and discount sites (lastminutetravel.com, lastminute.com, and travelzoo.com), as well as the lines’ own e-mail offers. Susan Murphy, Loa, Utah

11. Make a bid online Websites that auction cruises have some of the best bargains out there. At skyauction.com, you can search by line, destination, and date. Jennifer Dickey, Toronto, Canada

Q&A: Travel Guru Elizabeth Gilbert – Budget Travel.

The author of Eat, Pray, Love, explains how to upgrade a run-of-the-mill trip into a life-changing journey.

By Nicholas DeRenzo, July/August 2010 issue

There are tourists, there are travelers, and then there’s Elizabeth Gilbert. The best-selling writer makes a nice living from turning simple vacations into transformative experiences. Now, with a new travelogue out, Committed, and an Eat, Pray, Love movie starring Julia Roberts on the way (opening August 13), Gilbert details how to get the most out of any trip—even if you’ve only got a week. The goal: to become part of a place rather than just pass through.

How do you break from the tourist mold andimmerse yourself in a destination?
Stay put. I’ve certainly done that exuberant, I-just-want-to-see-everything travel, where it’s two days in Bologna, two days in Milan. But those kinds of experiences never made it into Eat, Pray, Love, mostly because I never met anybody. The memories that really stick with me involve making friends. I did that in Rome, where I got to know people over the course of months and really became part of their lives. But you could just as easily spend your week’s vacation in one village. It’s amazing how quickly you can become integrated if you try.

Gilbert surrounded by souvenirs from her travels (Ban Baker/Redux) [enlarge photo]

So if you decide to stay put, how do you go about making friends?
In Rome, I just put up a sign in a local Internet café that said, “Native English speaker looking for native Italian speakers for conversational practice.” Not only did I receive free, really intensive Italian lessons, but I made four great friends who showed me the “real” Rome.

How do you document your trips?
When I’m traveling, I don’t take pictures of scenery; better photographers than me have shot plenty, and you can find that stuff anywhere. I only take pictures of the people I become friends with. Also, I never sit down to write anything unless I have one person in mind to whom I am telling the story. It helps focus the piece. I wrote Committed to my novelist friend Ann Patchett.

Is it possible to find an exotic escape without flying halfway around the world?
Sure. I’ve recently become a huge fan of Atlantic City. Step a block from the boardwalk and there are all of these incredible restaurants and stores run by the immigrants who staff the city. My husband and I live about two hours away, and we visit once a month to buy spices and goat meat from this Pakistani guy. When you’re in his shop, you sort of think to yourself, What country am I in? But you’re right behind the Trump Taj Mahal.

And what if you want to go farther for longer?
I went down to Chile for my cousin’s wedding last year. In the airport, I struck up a conversation with a couple from Vermont. They were living in Santiago for six months before setting out for the rest of South America. They were teachers with really lousy salaries, but they had been saving money for 10 years. People say they can’t afford to travel. But if you circle a date on your calendar and make that your single, greatest priority, I guarantee you that you can.

THE GILBERT GLOSSARY

If eat equals Rome, pray equals India, and love equals Bali, what does drink mean? Or explore?drink vb
Ireland
“I have really happy memories of what feels like entire weeks spent in Irish pubs.”

save vb
Southeast Asia
“My husband and I lived on $15 to $20 a day for the entire 10 months that we were traveling there.”

play vb
Southern France
“For me, play is overeating, drinking a lot in the middle of the day, wandering through olive groves, and sampling amazing food covered in truffles—I consider that recreational!”

explore vb
Africa
“Not just for me, but for centuries of Europeans. And it’s still underexplored in a lot of ways—and misunderstood.”

The second view… Wow!

Classic Russian Truck found in Bogor Villages

Writer: Susanna Sunarno Photo: SS & AHA.

One fine morning, we drove to a small village in Bogor, West Java, named Jonggol. It was an exciting journey for us.And, the first view was a classic Rusian truck. I couldnt believe it. They are still using it not for showing off but for work. Wow… They were fixing the truck as we passed by. Then, just a step away, was a long bamboo bridge. Well, seemed to be preety exciting since it was made from bamboo and we had to share with the motorbike drivers whom also used the same bridge. The view from the bridge was awsome; though I was a bit worried to see trucks were taking the sands from the river.

Arriving at the end of the bridge, I saw some cool blue colour flowers… Some traditional houses are really humble but seemed nice. We stopped by at one of the house to have small chit chat with the owner of the house. They were really nice people.  Come, join us for a walk.

I'm loving it...
