Nara Deer Park - Day Trip From Kyoto

Nara Deer Park which is easily accessed from Kyoto was on the top of our Japan's itinerary. Going to a temple having hundreds of deers will be awesome for our Kiddos' experience.

We decided to do a day trip from Kyoto, and as we had learned that we could take a train from JR Inari Station to Nara, we planned to go to Nara after our visit to Fushimi Inari.

I told mr.husband that from what I read, we should not take a local train from Kyoto to Nara, as it will be stopping in 21 stations, and add a 25 minutes extra to our journey to Nara.

Belitung On Budget: 2 Days 1 Night For IDR 550,000

It started when I and my friends had lunch at Yoshinoya located near our office. Out of nowhere, my friends talked about celebrating one year anniversary of our Singapore trip. Of course, the next question was: "When and where will our next weekend getaway be?"

Belitung came across our discussion, and everyone agreed that Belitung will be our next destination! During our lunch, we checked the airline ticket on any weekend in February 2016. A return ticket was IDR 750,000 per person at the end of February. Not bad at all! Especially for me, I redeem my Garuda Miles, so I only paid Citilink ticket Jakarta-Belitung for IDR 350,000 and tax+surcharge on my Garuda Belitung-Jakarta ticket for IDR 130,000.

Our 2 days 1 night in Belitung cost IDR 550,000 per person. It includes: van hire for two days, boat hire, snorkeling gears, lunch at Pulau Kepayang, tips for driver, tips for the boatman and a one night bed and breakfast. The more the merrier, and of course cheaper! Our group consist of 12 person, and we shared most of our expenses.

One and a half month after our lunch at Yoshinoya, we were in Belitung :)

Kafetaria 170 Bandung

If you are heading to Bandung or going back to Jakarta from Bandung via Pasteur toll gate, you can stop for a while to have some snacks or even enjoying your breakfast, lunch or dinner at Kafetaria 170.

Kafetaria 170 is located on Jalan Pasir Kaliki, very close to Pasteur toll gate. However, if the traffic is bad, you may need 30-45 minutes from and to Pasteur toll gate.

This restaurant is very eye catching, not only because of its cute look, but also because the parking place is so limited, resulting traffic jam near the Kafetaria 170, most of the time. 

What an eye catching building on Jalan Pasir Kaliki
