it's nandra. they also call her nashz, the history of such name is way too long to elaborate in this little space. she's seventeen. she's a she. she lives a typical metropolitan lifestyle in the capital of Indonesia. she's currently in her senior year of high school, enduring the second and last year of IB Diploma Programme that's totally ruining her life slowly. but she thinks the whole suffering would give her some sort of advantage in the (scarily) near future. she's a CISVer and lovin' every bit of it. oh, she also very much enjoys mango juice, she'd even prefer it than OJ haha. and while we're at it, yes, she might be random from time to time. she wishes you'd be quite patient about it. :)

Lost in Vietnam - Part 1

Aloha! hoho. salah nih, tp sampe skarang gw gataw bahasa Vietnam nya "Halo!". hehehe. tau ah!

Eniweiiiiis! Let's start. Soooo, gw nyampe Hanoi Sabtu malem, jam stgh 9an. Begitu keluar dari airport..
CULTURE SHOCK.
Ni kota beda bgt sama Jakarta. Yang sama paling kegilaan orang ber-motor. hehe. parah bgt! salib sana, salib sini! hii. syerem eike. huhu.
Hanoi tuh bisa dibilang lebih bersih dari Jakarta (yaiyalah!). Terus sperti kata nyokap, pny karakter. Gedung2 lama yg bergaya European masih aja ada. Keren lowh. Kayak Kota klo di Jkt. Tapi masih bersih dan terjaga.

Sooooooo, kmaren gw makan Grilled Fish Vietnam style! Yeah! Susah nih ngejelasinnya. harus ksana dan nyobain. can't describe it in words hehe. saking uniknya cara mereka nyediain makanannya. pokoke klo lo ke Hanoi, pasti di recommend makan disitu.. ;p

Trus gw ke temple gtuwh yg kata org2 sana sih, dulu ada kura2 gedeeee gtu di danaunya (secara temple itu ada di tengah2 danau). trus jamannya dynasty cina gtu, tu kura2 grabbed some sword or somewat. pokoknya there's a legend bout kura2 dan pedang. ehehehhe.

Btw, suatu kebodohan yang teramat sangat bodoh (yaiyalah!) terjadi.... Kan critanya gw mesen ice tea gtu. Nah, berhubung kurang manis, gw ambil aja deh gelas kecil gtu yg (gw kira) gula. Dengan bodohnya gw tuang itu 'gula' ke iced tea gw.
ga lama kmudian, gw terbengong waktu bokap nuang itu 'gula' ke nasi goreng nya.

gw: Yah, itu kan gula...

bokap: Ini kecap asin, kok! (nyobain tu kecap/gula) Iya kok...

gw: *cengok*

Intinya, gw masukin KECAP ASIN ke ice tea gw!! S**T!! *aduh nandra bodoh skali kamuuu ini!!! PLAK PLAK!! (nampar muke ndiri)* tapi gw minum jg sih. hehe.

moral of the story: mendingan coba dulu gula yang ada di depan Anda sebelum dimasukin ke teh. huhu.

Sbenernya, kmaren kita cman makan dan belanja doang. Maw nonton water puppet sih, tapi keabisan tiket huhu.

Hari ini, gw bangun jam 10. Missed breakfast, so ate instant noodle instead. tapi abis itu langsung makan lagi di Club Opera. and i havta tell u, it is sooooooooo good! recommended rest. in Hanoi! ;p

Dengan perut (terlalu) kenyang, kita ke Army Museum. TAPI, eh tapi... TUTUP. swt dah.

Yasud. lanjut ke Ho Chi Minh Museum & Mausoleum. TUTUP jg. huhu. yasud lah. jalan2 aja. Trus duduk2 di cafe. PW lowh cafe nya... hihi.

Lalu, berhubung pada capek, balik lagi ke hotel..

Malemnya.. MAKAN LAGII. pulang2 gendut deh gw.. (amiiiin!) Gw sekluarga makan di sbuah cafe namanya Brother's Cafe. Begitu masuk... aaaaahhh romantis bgt tempatnyaaaaa!! I mean romantic as in, lights hanging on the trees. Candles on the tiny round table. aaaawh. to tweet lah!
But it's kinda expensive. xp . Tapi worth it jg sih. Since it's an 'all u can eat' buffet. (bkn all u can drink lowh! hehe.) trus piringnya ga blh dimakan. since u can't eat that! *aduh apa sih nandra jayus bgt! PLAK! PLAK!*

Namun... ada suatu kesusahan disini. org2 disini banyak yg ga bisa bhs inggris. jadi sbel ndiri gw nih. hehe. but it doesn't reduce my holiday spirit! yeah!

Btw, jujur aja yah, i'm kinda homesick nih. huhu.

kangen rumah
kangen jakarta
kangen ps
snayan city
eX
sudirman
tendean
huhuhu.

but take a look at the bright side, i'm here to learn bout new things. meet new people. understand other culture and history. i'm sure it's worth LOTS to be here.

jadiii, bwat yang lagi pada liburaan, mau lo di LA, NY, London, Paris, Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Papua, Melbourne, Moscow, Shanghai, dimana pun Anda berada! Enjoy ur holiday with full HOLIDAY SPIRIIIT!!

jgn cuman gara2 homesick, ga cocok sm makanan, ato masukin kecap asin ke es teh jadi halangan buat lo menikmati liburan lo. udah bagus bisa liburan! ya ga ya ga??!!<- kok jadi kayak bhs bayi yah? hehe.

yasud. berhubung internet teramat sangat mahal dan lamaaaaaaaaa POL, kita sudahi episode satu dariii:
"LOST IN VIETNAM"

enjoy ur summer vacation people (even if it means on the sofa, in the living room, in front of the tivo ;p)

from hanoi, with love,
nandra~
