"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things"

Never thought that our first experience in Shanghai could be that amazing!

Very beautiful city, nice people around and amazing places!

 

Kami berangkat ke Shanghai tanggal 1 November 2019, with Singapore Airlines, transit di Singapore dan tiba di Shanghai sekitar pukul 14:14.

Perjalanan Jakarta - Singapore sekitar 1 jam.

Singapore - Shanghai sekitar 6 Jam.

Total 7 Jam perjalanan, but it's always worth it with Singapore Airlines.

Sesampainya di Shanghai langsung kami check in di Shanghai Greenland Jiulong.

Kamar yang kami pesan waktu itu Deluxe City View, sarga permalamnya +- Rp. 1.300.000

Untuk sampan di Hotel, NOT THAT EASY, but also NOT THAT HARD :))

WhatsApp mash bisa dipakai kok di sana, but Google Maps don't work.

Orang-orang di Shanghai biasanya pakai aplikasi khusus, WeChat, untuk ngobrol, melakukan pembayaran dan pemesanan apapun, kalau di Indonesia semacam Gojek Applikasi gitu (Gopay).

Awalnya pasti bingung, but we kinda enjoy it, karna new experience aja buat kami.

Setelah sampan di Hotel dan beristirahat sejenak, sore menjelang malam, we decided to go to Nanjing Road, tempt nongkrong dan belanja di Shanghai.

Like I told you before, it's not that easy, until bisa sampai di Nanjing Road, hahah :))

New city where Goggle Maps don't work ya kan, dan kami setiap bepergian memang tidak pernah menggunakan travel, Karena males aja harus menyesuaikan schedule gitu.

Kami sukanya explore kemanapun yang kami mau, terutama biar gak harus bangun pagi sih, we're not a morning person actually :)

Back to the topic, keluar hotel bingung kemananya kan untuk bisa sampan di Nanjing Road, setelah nunggu lama dan Taxi gak lewat-lewat akhirnya kita ke Bus Station dekat dari situ. Tapi bingung bus yang mana, nah kan! Pucinkk kakakkk.

Melihat Kita kebingungan, ada seorang wanita menghampiri kami, niat mau membantu.

Happy dong, (again) NOT THAT EASY! Dia gak bisa bahasa Inggris, alamakkk, jadi dia ngobrol di HP dia dan di translate ke bahasa Inggris, sayapun demikian, dan dia mengantar kami sampan di Nanjing Road.

I tried to save her number and text her, but it didn't work. Semoga dimanapun kamu berada, kamu selalu baik-baik saja ya, duhai wanita Shanghai yang bank hati. Semoga Tuhan dan semester membalas semua kebaikan hatimu. Amin.

Sesampainya di Nanjing road kami makan dan belanja sedikit lalu jalan-jalan lagi. Happy banget.

Untuk makan dan jajan-jajan di Nanjing Road kami menghabiskan +- Rp. 700.000 sekali ke restaurant di area Nanjing Road, itu Sudah sama minum-minum kecil juga sih dan makan besar :))

Oh, I love that city lights and the river! So Beautiful and romantic.

Lalu kami naik kapalnya, mirip di Singapore River Cruise.

Thank You, Shanghai.

For giving us another beautiful experience.

Kami sampan Hotel jam 11 Malam, kemudian istirahat.

Day 2!!

SEMANGATT PAGI.

Hari ke-2 kami pun berjalan-jalan ke Yuyuan Garden, Diana traditional Shanghai terasa sekali meskipun banyak Turis, kami makan siang disana dan berbelanja lagi.

Untuk makanan tidak terlalu mahal, dan karna tempat ini banayk turis yang mostly tidak memiliki WeChat, nisana ada counter untuk membeli voucher makan.

Tempat makannya seperti food court gitu, banyak pilihannya, hihihi.. Happy Tummy!

Untuk makanannya perorang biayanya kalau dirupiahkan sekitar Rp. 80.000 disitu saya makan nasi goreng, dan porsinya luar brasa banyak x) itu Hanna makan såja, bellum termasuk jajan dan cemilan cepuluh.

Karena malas nenteng-nenteng belanjaan, kami pun memutuskan until kembali ke Hotel, meletakan barang-barang dan jalan-jalan kembali di sekitar Nanjing Road.

Karna Lusanya kami akan pindah ke DISNEYLAND HOTEL Shanghai!!!! Yeiyyy, I'm a happy kid alive!!

Beirut sisa foto-foto selama saya disitu, God, I'm so Happy!

Oh Iya! Kami sampat ke Shanghai Tower, tower kedua tertinggi di dunia, setelah Burj Khalifa.

Well, I'm to excited to write about Disneyland Shanghai!

Long story short ini foto-foto pengalaman kami selama di area ini.

Revisit The Past

I'm a 90s kid, and i'm proud of it.

I'm so thankful i had a childhood before technology took over

Saturday and Sunday morning TV shows are the greatest

Tom and Jerry, Doraemon, Detektif Conan, Dragon Ball and many more.

I still remember the smell of the crayons

I watched Disney movies almost every day

I love Polly Pocket so freakin bad

I didn't care about things called cable, ah NO! Sega and nitendo are the exception :)

And the most important thing is the parent who always fells down on the floor just to play with me.

To me those memories will last. Because I am 90's Kid!

Namaste ~

"Travel is the healthiest addiction"

One thing i learn, foreign country is not designed to make me comfortable, it is designed to make its own people comfortable.

I went to the world's largest democracy, with 1.2 billion people.

Guess!

Yes, i went to India

By Garuda Indonesia, Business Class.

Yes!! We know we are blessed, cause on the day we booked the ticket, the 2 seats promo for business class are still there. So happy!

We transit in Bangkok for 2 hours then go to Mumbai.

in Mumbai, we stayed in Sahara Star Hotel 

Trust me, it's a very cozy hotel.

Just like Jakarta Indonesia, Mumbai is also polluted city.

I didn't explore Mumbai a lot, just stayed there for a night then go to Vadodara, India.

Vadodara is a small city in India. Polluted also, and worse :x

Everything is much more cheaper in this city, the funny things is we can see cows everywhere, even in a big road. 

Main transportation in India is Otto or Bajaj.

It's like Taxy, they also use meter fee.

70% of all the world's spices come from India.

So, if you o to India, do not forget to taste the food.

All the indian food has a very strong taste and smell. Mostly people don't like it, but me, i like it.

These are my favorite food!

1. Pani Puri

 2. Lamb Curry

3. Rasmalai

4. Pao Bhaji

5. This is a mix vegie food in one of Indian Restaurant, there are Gulab Jamun and another delicious indian food in one plate :)

Another good things is... I GOT THIS FROM MAMA!!

Chaniya Choli and Mangal Sutra

Promise you guys, i will post some pictures again soon! For sure with this Chaniya Choli and Mangal Sutra.

One beautiful place we visited in Vadodara is Laxmi Villas Palace

Almost forget to introduce you to my another loyal companion in Vadodara, Romi!

Super cute and lovely dog! I miss him already since the day i left Vadodara..

Please don't forget to check fact of India for further information about India :)

See you in another post.
