Finally I could back to write on this blog after 4 years (hmm, I thought my last post was around the year 2012). Yeah the obstacles is so much that make me bored to write. First obstacle is "that boring" itself and the second until last obstacles are organization activity, college duty life, working life etc. But then after so many things happened I decide to take a rest from this life. yes. I need something called "my time." The right term of "my time" for me actually is writing because I love it.
I thought each event could be forgotten by everyone but each written event wouldn't be forgotten because it could be read again and again. Actually so many things uniquely happened around us that sometimes need to be shared as lesson learned for the others. For example is: when you are traveling to my city (Malang City, East Java Province, Indonesia), there is one interesting article on how to travel effectively at Malang City. The writer compiles so many places which is worth it to be visited by us and the valuable tips and tricks during travelling.
Well yeah, this time I just want to share my previous travelling from Balikpapan City to Tyumen City, Russia on March 2014. I never think before in my life if I could traveled so far away from my hometown. Haadza min fadli Robbi. The travelling is for training actually, that's why I couldn't hang out many times.
I and my friend, Grace departed from Sepinggan Airport, Balikpapan City at Thursday, 6 March 2014 to Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Jakarta, and Garuda Indonesia accompanied us well.
This Airport have just been finished in 2014 and became the best Indonesia Airport in 2014 as well.
I just realized if this airport is Soekarno Hatta Airport, Jakarta Capital City, Indonesia
We arrived around 11 a.m. at Soe-Hat Airport. Lucky us that we got complimentary car from Airport to Park Lane Hotel. We only needed to call them to pick us up. This is good because the cost would be more than IDR 100K if we still use local taxi.
This is the hotel entrance. We need to do visual body check before come in to this 5 star hotel.
The Park Lane Hotel Lobby. The ambience is cozy.
My room. More than enough for 2 days visit.
The foods and beverages are awesome. We could take everything many-many times. All of them are presented by Cafe One. With its interior designed by C&C Studio of Singapore, Cafe One has a modern look with natural earth-tone colours and illuminated glass panel walls. A special feature is a central buffet with three open cooking stations – serving international cuisine, buffet-style, with a wide variety of hot and cold dishes and a dazzling dessert display.
We actually could departed directly from Balikpapan City without stay in the hotel, but the problem is we didn't have any winter coat and other stuffs related at that time. That is why we need to buy first on Jakarta. After looking for several hours either in Kota Kasablanka, SOGO, or the others, the choice was at Ambassador Mall, South Jakarta.
The prize of products here is about middle to up.
Mall Ambassador is near to The Park Lane Hotel. It takes 10 minutes by public transportation.
You could see if The Ambassador Mall located on the left of The Park Lane Hotel
The question is why we buy in Ambassador Mall? First thing is that the stuffs are good enough with affordable price. For example, my blue winter coat only is costed IDR 700K, polo bear sweater is costed IDR 250K whilst winter glove is costed IDR 75K. Cheap enough, right?
Not only that, but also I found money changer here. I need to change from IDR to RUB (Russia Ruble) and lucky me there is one money changer stall. 330 IDR for getting 1 RUB. Yeah, People are right when they consider Ambassador Mall had everything here.
After winter equipment hunting, I decided going back to my room to prepare my luggage. Because we planed leaving the hotel at 06.00 p.m. Even though the flight is around 11.00 p.m. but usually the traffic in Jakarta is very crowded.
Finally we arrived in Soekarno Hatta Airport again at 07.00 p.m. Immediately we went to check in counter after passing security check. Not to mention that international flight was busy with passengers at that time so better we do online check in from related airline website that could save our time. Luckily we didn't come too late so we still have long time to follow the procedures.
At least we needed to do three security checks. Firstly in entrance, Secondly in Domestic Departure, and Thirdly in International Departure. And you couldn't bring scissors, liquid things more than 100 ml (even though Ponds Facial Foam or something like that, or even mineral water only)
You will pass duty free shop if going to international departure.
Finally we departed by Emirates Airline, a 5 star airline, to Dubai first. Everything in Emirates are good. From the foods, beverages, chair, entertainment screen called ICE. This inflight entertainment covers box office movies, famous music, drama, tips and trick traveling video and many more.
Inside Emirates Airline after turned off the cabin lamps. Look to the airplance ceiling that shined so many stars. It gives us a calm and cozy situation. Very Nice.
I thought we were so lucky to be passenger of Emirates Airline where this airline became the world's first airline on 2013. The services are premium, like the way of stewardess services us with warm towel in the first time we sit in the chairs, and asked us what would we want to order to them. For passengers who want fast food service before dining time, they could do it. Cool, right? Yeah, I knew it. The difference in Emirates is no toiletry pouches, thing that available in Qatar Airways.
