Time to pack the bag

My Scholarship entry - Giving back on the road

WORLDWIDE | Thursday, 29 March 2012 | Views [252] | Scholarship Entry

It was another month of the year when I woke up in the morning and realizing that I haven't been out for almost a year! Out in here means packing my bag and going on a travelling to other places whether if it is for holiday or just for work. I remember my last trip went to Bogor, Bandung and Jakarta on July 2010 with my colleagues. These three places are all in Indonesia. I have never went outside my own country. So it would be very nice if I could go out of my shell and explore other places. But well since I haven't planned any trip to abroad and i just got my passport on February 2012 , I'm just going to tell you of my latest trip to Pontianak, West Kalimantan in Indonesia. Even though I live in the same island, which is Kalimantan or some may call it Borneo, but truly I never went to Pontianak ever until that time. It is because if we want to reach the West Kalimantan region we have to transit to Jakarta first and then fly over to Pontianak. So it will need twice the price. I was accompanied with one of my colleague who had never went there either. So it started on sunday morning, we took a taxi cab to go to the Syamsudin Noor Airport, in Banjarmasin, there is where we live and work. The flight to Jakarta took 1 hour and 30 minutes long. We had breakfast on our way to the airport because what usually happen is any food or souvernirs and other stuffs sell on the airport are more expensive than they usually sell in the regular market. The flight we took to Pontianak from Jakarta
