Ride to Bandung

On Saturday, 7 March 2009, me and my spouse were went to Bandung.

Well, we actually love to travel to Bandung coz we find Bandung is a very nice and cozy place.

As we predicted, lots of Bandung turistas are from Jakarta.

Lots of "B" number on the street and the result, street of Bandung got traffic jam all over the place.

And I got a minor incident that my tire flatten.

Luckily, there are some "tambal ban" to help me.

Bandung got rain all day, but that didn't make Bandung quiet.

Still traffic jam all over the place, and people apparently didn't care if they probably get sick because of the rain.

I have a long day in Bandung and see different places.

I love Bandung more than Jakarta, and I don't mind if I have to live in Bandung. 

Travel Through Time

Last night I had this dream...

I was in a place that sort of unknown for me.

Surround me, a very wide rose garden. They are so beautiful with so many color.

I was sit in a chair that placed in the center of the garden.

Not very far, I could see a blue ocean.

There is no one but me in this place.

But, what makes me wonder is that I think I have been here before. 

I don't know when or how, but I think I have been here.

The place look familiar, for there was a house, small one, but looks nice.

Near the house, there is a small waterfall down to a small pool.

The pool filled with fish with so many varieties, big and small.

And there is a pathway to go to the house......

10 Reasons Why You Should Go On Vacation

Here's a list of the ten best reasons you should take a vacation this year, even when times are tough:

1) Making memories for your children. Tough times or not, your children are only little for a short while. They will be grown and gone before you know it. Experience vacation memories with them while you can.

2) Life is short. Tomorrow is not guaranteed for anyone.

3) Reconnecting with your spouse and children. Get to know each other again by forgetting about jobs and routines for a while.

4) Vacations do not have to be extravagant for them to meaningful. Try visiting a zoo, amusement park, or nearby attraction. You will be amazed at what just getting away for a day or two will do to help.

5) Great deals. Look anywhere and travel is a bargain. Take advantage while you still can.

6) Think, why not? Instead of coming up with all the reasons why you should not take a vacation, think of all the reasons why you should. Kids…getting away from problems…..living life.

7) Getting away is a great way to forget about life's everyday schedule and problems…from your job, your child's school work, and the problems and worries we all encounter.

8) Recharge your batteries. When you return from vacation, you will feel so much better about everything, just because you have had a chance to escape.

9) Seize the day! Make the most of every precious moment you have on this earth. Don't think that you will be able to take a trip when you can really afford it; that time may never come. Don't think that there may be a better time financially to go; maybe there won't.

10) Your spouse and kids will have those vacation memories for the rest of their lives. You as a parent have very few years to create happy experiences and memories for your children. Children and spouses get older and you never know what is down the road for anyone. Make some special times while you can.

We can always come up with excuses why we should not bother with a vacation. But instead of thinking in those terms, maybe we should think about the positive aspects of a vacation. Don't put things off. Tomorrow comes at us fast.

The road is so long

Jakarta, place where I live, has give me so much opportunities.

I like biking on the street of Jakarta.

For this past few months,Jakarta has been showered with rain.

But, that condition does not make me lazy to go "travel".

As, today, I have been "travel" around Jakarta for 136 km.

It is fun to see Jakarta having showered by rain.

Traffic jam, so many people have trouble on finding transportation.

Me, and my bike, going smoothly.

Travel as Solution of Life

Recently, I've watched a movie,"Wild Hogs", stared by the famous Martin Lawrence, Jhon Travolta,and many more.
They travel across the country only to proof that old man can enjoy life.
During their mid 40s, they feel life has come to endless point.
So, they take their bike and start rolling .
So many adventure that they have been face, gay police, family on vacation, rain, teenage girl flirting on them, bad guys..
But, nevertheless they give up.
They keep rolling and the results are they become a hero for themselves.

This movie inspired me to do the same....

Instant travel.....

Introduction

Hit the road and go to where ever you like.

Consider freedom and run, run away, like a cheetah.

For most people, travel become leisure 'duty'. 

On the weekend, they travel with family, relative, or perhaps with colleagues.

I love to do instant-travel.

When my heart feels like want to go somewhere, I go...

I love to see different people, culture, the nature.

It felt so ... , I don't know how to describe it.

How about you?
