Nemophilia (Japan Trip 2018 Part #2)

Tokyo, 20 April 2020

Hai Ta...

Apa kabar?

Hari ini Adha ngajak jalan ke Ibaraki. 

Sekitar 2 jam perjalanan dari Tokyo.

Naik kereta dari Ueno ke Katsuta, trus nyambung naik bis langsung ke tempat tujuan. 

Aku ngikut-ngikut ajalah Adha ngajak kemana, yang penting jalan, Ta.

Sengaja nggak kubawa kamera DSLR, Ta. 

Bahu rasanya sudah berat untuk digantungkan kamera2 itu.

Cuma bawa hp dan kamera polaroid yang ringan, beli di olshop sebelum berangkat. 

Ternyata, turis lagi banyak-banyaknya, bisnya penuh, Ta.

Antrian beli tiket masuk juga panjang. 

Entah musim liburan, atau memang tempat ini tak pernah sepi.

Tapi memang musim semi, Ta.

Bukankah, semua orang menunggu datangnya musim semi?

A Short Escape in Winter 2014 (Epilog) : A Smooth Landing at Eindhoven

So, this is it!

The End of Winter Trip 2014 in Eastern Europe. From Warsaw, Prague, Bratislava, to Budapest. Well, this time I won't tell you about how I went home to the Netherlands..but I would love to give you a story how the journey has put me some new sheets of life...

It was my first experience to have a trip when I studied abroad. For me, doing a sight seeing in the cities was amazing, because I always try to dive into its typical atmosphere of the cities I visited. For example, I enjoyed Warsaw as a romantic city, despite of its history and the sparks of modern city when I was there. Then I clearly remember when I stepped my feet at Bratislava, it still overwhelms me with the impression of "from history to life" journey. The most amazing part of the journey was when in Prague, when I start my solo walk, I mean when I convinced my self that I need to have my own story, then have split from my travelmates! Afraid? Worried? Definitely, YES! but at once, I got my courage as well! Yes, a moment I have faith that everything is okay, there was nothing to worry about..just one come to my mind, I GOT TO ENJOY this anyway! :) I remember that I just walked anywhere my feet wanted to, as well as I got my first archery experience and so called my first "Beethoven-Mozart" Tour. So I called Prague by the city of courage. Obviously, Budapest has given me the splendid experience in my winter holiday in 2014 by the warmth of the city and its people. Something that will certainly make people hard to put their attention back to their real life with works, study, etc. So true, isn't it?
