Terapi Losbak di Tegal

“The traveler sees what he/she sees. The tourist sees what he/she has come to see” - G.K. Chesterton

End of June 2012, felt bored of routines. A daily backpack is packed, I was ready to go to Tegal, Central Java. It’s all just a sudden trip, invited by my 3 friends. Had no idea about Tegal or Slawi or Brebes, I travelled to Tegal.

I enjoyed sceneries, people and many things I’ve never thought. I have no fixed destination like tourists do. Surprisingly, I got sum peaceful experiences. Great morning from foot of Mount Slamet, fresh air with no pollutant, simplicity of village life, and greeny-view. 

Taman Wisata Guci, still at foot of Mount Slamet. Showering hot water in big pool, while a waterfall gives you a cold water. It’s just crowded place, but I found pines forest. Never expecting much from this city, but I got. I felt in love with its Teh Poci, sweet and warm tea. I spent my money with no worries, it’s all in cheap price. I swear! I buy hot teh poci only for Rp1000/cup, pecel only for Rp2500/plate, Rp3000/corn grilled, tempe mendoan only Rp500/slice. I’m rich girl hahahahahaha....

The unforgettable moment was, this journey we did by riding Losbak. Semacam mobil yang belakangnya bak terbuka, mobil yang suka dipakai untuk ngangkut barang-barang. Terapi Losbak yes!

Picnic at Monas

Sunday afternoon, suddenly had a picnic at Monumen Nasional (Monas), Central Jakarta. The weather was very hot, lucky me took my rattan hat *grin*. Actually, I did my duty as reporter a few hours before it. I took 'Kebaktian GKI Yasmin Bogor' in front of Istana Negara. Yes, everybody needs refreshing after working :p.

Sum of my friends asked, "What do you do there?". Well it's picnic, first enjoying afternoon. Melihat anak kecil bermain dan olahraga, bisa ngobrol santai sambil ngopi hanya Rp5 ribu berdua, bisa main layangan, memberi makan rusa, hingga bersepeda dengan membayar sewa Rp20 ribu per 30 menit. Sepedanya tandem, jadi harus bawa pasangan, teman, juga keluarga. Contohnya teman saya yang memang niat piknik ke Monas sama pacar. Kesampaian juga Ale-Abe naik sepeda di Monas *evil grin*.

Satu yang menyenangkan, semua kegiatan itu bisa dilakukan di ruang publik Monas dengan gratis! *big smile*
