What Goes Around Comes Around

I have traveled to some countries and often have had a situation where I needed help starting from losing my passport and money, missing my last train, getting lost or even just some small problems. Fortunately, there were always people who helped me when I was in that situation although they did not know me at all. I guess, we get what we give. What goes around, comes around.

Efforts and Hard Works

Doa seorang ibu itu pasti akan selalu dijabah Allah. 4 weeks ago I had an interview with this hotel to be Front of the House Supervisor. I was interviewed by 4 different managers. Unfortunately, I was told that they already got someone else for that position.

No Body is Special - We are the Same

It was 1:30 PM. I just finished my lunch at the hotel cafeteria and brought my plates and glass to the dishwashing area. I put my glass and plates together with bunch of dirty glasses and plates. I took them and put on the dishwashing machine and turned it on. My colleague who worked as the canteen staff stared at me behind my back and smiled. “Thank you very much for doing it, most of the people who work here would not care the way you do”. I smiled and said that I am here as an employee and whatever belongs to this hotel should be treated as they are mine.

Kindness and How it Goes Back to You

Eight years ago, In 2010, when I just graduated from UNG, I went back to Ampana. Stayed there for almost 1 year. There had been many times I saw most of the tourist guides in Ampana liked to rip off tourist; they had the perception that Europeans, Americans or people from western countries are rich, they would always double the price of something with western people. I tried to help most of the tourists who visited Togean by becoming a "volunteer guide".

I am AMSTERDAM

Dear world,

Today was my first day in Netherland. I live in Utrecht at Airbnb accommodation. I spent my day in Amsterdam. I left the house around 10 AM. It took me around one hour and thirty minutes to arrive in Amsterdam. I visited two famous museums in Amsterdam; Van Gogh museum and Rijk museum. They are very close to each other. I just needed to walk five minutes from Van Gogh to Rijk. I spent about one hour in each museum. Also got time to visit and take pictures at I Amsterdam sign which is an icon of Amsterdam, but the place was too crowded. I even saw so many tourists climbed the sign just so they could take the best pictures on the I Amsterdam sign. As an Indonesian, I know that we also have a culture to climb something but I never knew that people from other countries do the same as we do, I smiled when I saw that.

On My Way to Netherlands

Hello world,

I just came back from Amsterdam! I decided to write again because I know that in the future, this post will remind me about my experience. 

On Wednesday evening I flew from Milan Malpensa Airport at 9.44 PM. During the flight, I was so lucky because I got chance to see sunset. It was really beautiful, I cannot even describe how beautiful it was. One hour flight was not enough for me because I spent my time mostly looking through the plane window. Watching the sunset and the cloud. I love watching cloud as well.
