This time is an adventure exploring Poland! As you can see on the video from the link above. It was five days trip but what we have experienced were tons of fun. We had an Auschwitz-Birkenau tour, walked around the city of Krakow, tasted the best muffin in town, explored a dragon cave, ate a famous gigantic polish sandwich called Zapikanka, shopped cheap polish souvenirs and experienced partying in a polish club. Yet, the best part was hiking for approximately seven hours until we reached a beautiful peaceful heavenly lake at Morskie Oko. Again I have to admit, the highlight of these trips were the presence of my friends to share unforgettable moments.
Netherlands
Now, moving on to the Netherlands! I and Uni (Rachel) took a day trip to Amsterdam. There we planned to meet with our friends who currently live in the Netherlands. But before that, we took a tour around the city. After we had a short tour in the city with the student tour we searched for a place with WiFi so we can contact our friends to meet up. We meet up with my friend, Kevin, a mix of Indonesian and Netherlands which I have met few years ago. We randomly walked around Amsterdam and had a tour around Rijksmuseum that has many historical arts from statue to paintings, which I barely understood. Regardless, it still seems amazing; it was such a huge museum explore.
Italy
I had five amazing days travelling amazing cities in Italy. Me and my group of Indonesian friends from Atma Jaya travelled to Florence, Milan, Pisa, Rome, and Venice. We saw interesting and famous places such as Milano Piazza Duomo, Pisa the dome and the leaning tower, Rome Colosseum, Rome Trevi Fountain, and the Great Canal. It was the hottest days we ever spent in Europe but almost every corner in those cities has an object of fascination so we just have to bear with the heat and keep our feet moving from one place to another. One thing that we were concerned was the high level of theft, especially towards tourist. Unfortunately Sissy was one of the victim who got hit by misfortune, when thieves stole our belongings on our bus, they also took Sissy's iPad. I was blessed because I only left my tasteless snacks and cheap selfie-stick, and I don't think the thieves are interested to any of them to take it with them.
Romania
It's always good to be back; see again what you have seen, meet the people you have met and redo the things you have done.
I paid a short visit to Bucharest -- the city which I spent two years of my high school. It's so great to be back. Meeting the people who I knew live here. There were new people as well. But the most amazing thing is to know the people that I used to know remained the same and doing well.
"Reika, you're back!", How I love this reaction. It sounded like my present was expected. Even I didn't expect to come here for the second time. Work of a miracle, really.
Now, coming to all of the opportunity that I took; I had the chance to attend the ASEAN day in the Indonesian Embassy of Romania. I had another chance to go to Constanta, a city by the Black Sea's shore (this time during summer). I had the chance to attend the mass in biserica sacre coeur back in Bucharest and meet the sister and the father that I knew were serving there. I had the chance to go to the Malaysian Embassy of Romania and had quite a conversation with the Malaysian ambassador. I had the chance to meet Tantowi Yahya (one famous Indonesian country singer, a presenter and an entrepreneur). I had another chance to "tour-guided" friends from AIESEC around Bucharest. I had the chance to reunite with my best friends in Bucharest and spend some time with them in AFI mall. Oh! I also had the chance to do shopping (this was out of my plan, it just happened).
