Happy New Year 2017

Hello.. Happy New Year...

 It is so long time not write because of business (laziness) 

First i wanna say Happy New Year for my self n for my God.

I cant deny..i am lonely.. i am always alone

Nobody text me to say Happy New Year.. I just receive one call from a family in Medan...not close to me but She is the only one who called me to say Happy New Year.

2016 was not a good year for me... Many tears, anger, sadness, disappointment , stupidity was there.

2016 was there a year that i feel there was not blessing for me. The year that God never answered my pray even for once.

Ok.. I put my stupidity, my grudge,  the wrong men, my bad habits here.. I wanna step  to a door that is 2017.

Let see what happened in 2017....

God pls help me

Istanbul... I am in love!!! First Day

Ok..after my last post for a couple weeks  ago....(sorry I disavow my commitment to  writing regularly because of my laziness) here I am trying to make a time for this blog.

Firstly  I wanna told about my journey after landing in Ataturk International Airport, we arrived about 11 o'clock. I was a little bit worried when passing immigration gates. I thought was it true for Indonesian tourists just need Visa On Arrival for entry on that time...

 But Thank's  God.. it was so true..just brought our passport n paid about 25 USD. Our Turkey visa finally was stamped in our passport.

We had booked a car for dropped us to the hotel that was Sayeban Hotel. After 30 minutes, we paid about 20 Euro. For additional information, the currency of Turkey is Turkish Lira (TRY) but Euro is accepted too. We just brought USD money but the driver refused USD for the taxi fee. Fortunately, a hotel staff offered us to borrow his money. I was so touching with his kindness.

SAYEBAN  HOTEL 

I enjoyed a welcoming drink with  a gentle staff hotel that lent us his money to pay the taxi.

We enjoyed our room this hotel. It was cheap about 60 USD for a night  and I recommend this!!! The room about 25 m2 with shower room inside and it was so clean. Our room included a single bed  and a double bed. Sayeban Hotel is located in the best street and closes for the mecca, well situated for all the sights and places we wanted to visit.  The breakfast was pretty simple but we enjoyed.

The staffs were absolutely wonderful and very helpful, My charging data cable  was not working,  so I got trouble to charge my phone call and I brought from a gentle staff. And you what?  When we were  checkout, He gave that charging data cable... Thanks for your kindness, I couldn't imagine what i could do there with off phonecell.

As I noticed, Most of the streets in Istanbul are uphill roads.

After cleaned up... not lot things to do.. we just strolled along the way to Bosphorus Piers and took pictures all the way. Boshphorus forms part of the continental boundary betweed Europe an Asia, It seperates Asian Turkey and European Tukey. We took a public ferry, i forgot how much we paid and our destination. Honestly, we were lost at first day...but we enjoyed lost in Istanbul. .. Lost in paradise

Anybody could tell me what the name of bird it is.

Well...the most activities i like in Istanbul was sightseeing along Borphorus way. It was so dramatic. Blue Water, flying birds and the old ruins on the hill overlooking. It was so interesting to see the lovely structures building lining the Bosphorus, magnificient palaces and private residences. I love to noticed people fishing along the bridge. It is so romantic.

I just thought, many countries make rivers or waterway in the cities as their tourist atrratcions. such as i had ever visited there are Singapore, Shanghai and  Malacca; Why it can not be implemented in my country? we have many rivers acrross big cities here, actually these are so potential to attract tourists. But we dissipate these potential asset, generally rivers in Indonesia especially accross big cities are not clean, dark and not interested to scrroll along the line. Hopefully, these things will be change one day, 

Do you enjoy sightseeing along the river line like i do?

Beginning, The Story Before Journey

Hello... This is not my first blog....but start from now I commit to writing in English in this blog about everything to improve my English and to enrich my Vocab... I need to expand my English skill soon.

So Guys..if you read this and you find something wrong in my writing. Please don't mind correcting. I really appreciate all your attentions.

First.. I want to write about my journey to Turkey. It was 3 years ago, in January 2014.  Frankly, I did not plan to travel to Turkey.  At first, I and my cousin planned to visit Japan. My cousin was very crazy about Japan. But Indonesian Passport Holders need a visa to entry Japan. Therefore, We should prepare all things needed for Japan Visa Application. We tried to complete required documents such as Form Filled, copy of ID/student card, flight itinerary issued, certificate of employment and prove of sufficient funds to defray all the expenses.

Unfortunately, my cousin couldn't complete one of requirement, that was the reference of the University stated he was registered as a student. So, we cancelled our plan to Japan and then I  looked for the countries which not need Visa to entry for Indonesian Citizens. Most of Countries that are Visa free for Indonesian Passport located in South East Asia. hmm.  it  is so mainstream haha...

Lately, I found Turkey, It was needed  visa on arrival in that time to travel to Turkey. So easy....
so I did not have any high expectations. but we never regret our Journey there...

Everything happened for a reason. Right..??
