Visa Oh Visa

Di 2014, gue melakukan perjalanan besar 3 benua 4 negara yaitu Mesir, Yordania, Yunani dan Turki. Kenapa 3 benua? karena Turki merupakan bagian dari Benua Asia dan Benua Eropa. Sebagai penduduk yang memegang passport Indonesia, sungguh sangat disayangkan kita harus membuat 4 visa karena masing-masing negara membutuhkan visa yang berbeda. Sampai saat ini pemegang Indonesia Passport masih harus memerlukan visa untuk masuk ke banyak negara.

Visa Turki
Dimulai dari yang paling mudah dulu ya. Visa Turki termasuk mudah, bisa visa on arrival dan sekarang dipermudah lagi e-visa. Bisa buka website nya disini atau langkah-langkahnya bisa dilihat di blog temen langkah e-visa. Biaya visa turki 25 USD.

Shits Happened in Egypt

Have u ever experienced any “shit happened” when you traveled?
On my last big trip, I've got lesson learned that shouldn't be taken un-seriously!

When I was happily landed on Cairo International Airport, I went directly to the immigration counter. Unfortunately, I needed to wait for my passport being further checking. It’s basically common in Cairo although I didn’t know the way they chose the tourists to be checked further. They said I have to wait at the back for 5 minutes. Almost 15 minutes there was no announcement that my passport had been finished checking. Then, I asked the officer, again he just said, “You have to wait for 5 minutes”. The hostel driver actually will pick me up when I arrived, so I called the hostel (yeah I turned on my international roaming -.-) and told him that I still needed to wait for my passport. I asked him the driver number, but he said the driver would come to see me and he asked me what I worn at that day. Because of the miscommunication, I couldn’t manage to meet the driver, and when I called the hostel again, he said better for me to take taxi, he would tell the address to the taxi driver, by the way.
