NADIA ATMAJI

Last week I went to Istanbul after finishing umroh in Saudi Arabia. My family and I did the umroh with a guidance from a tour agent called "Multazam Community", but in Turkey we were guided by "Dorak Tour". It's amazing that the tour guides (Turkish) can speak in Indonesian! We went there at the last week of April.  It was Spring and the weather is brizzy cold. Although it was still Spring, there weren't so many tulips. The tour guide said 1-20 April is the best time for tulips to bloom... And surprisingly, Tulip is originally comes from TURKEY! Not NETHERLANDS. Whoops just knew this! Apparently Netherlands has a better skill of marketing :D Well actually we went to Turkey a day before the umroh and two days after the umroh. Before the umroh, we went to Aya Sofya mosque, the Bosphorus, Kircilar leather jacket (apparently the best quality of leather is in Turkey, not Italy!), jewelry store, and having dinner in local restaurant. The schedule was soo tigh...

July 11th 2013 Today we went to National Palace Museum of Taiwan and to Maongkok. It was fun and exhausting. The museum was so cool and more like a cinema in Indonesia. Very well developed and preserved. And Maongkok, it's a place up in the mountain, we went to the apex by the Gondola. It took about 80 NTD. It's so worth it. Later I will post some cool photos of the scenery. Taiwan's city light, combined with scenery of mountain and plus the SUNSET! Zhongzheng Road, Taipei. About the transportation, yeah we took MRT and bus to those two places. Anyway, as you can see in the picture, in Taiwan, the transportation vehicles are bus, MRT, scooter and car. When we were in the bus, I told Troy (Makati's caretaker) and Scott (my caretaker -- like a Liasion Officer in Indonesia) about the situation in Indonesia (the bus can stop anywhere), specially in Jakarta. They said that Taiwan used to be like that too. But... in 1940 something.... It was a long time a go.... Taiwa...

SURPRIIIISE! Okay so this seems confusing. So what kind of surprise I am going to offer right now? It's not so surprising, I guess. Hahaha. But right now, I am joining an event held by Asian Law Students' Association International, in TAIWAN! YEAAAY. Can I have a YEAY too from you guys? Cause I'm so excited. This event actually consist of study and trip that's why the name of the event is ALSA Taiwan Study Trip. What is that 'study' part? We will discuss about human rights and humanitarian law in a table discussion with students from ALSA National Chapter around Asia. As I remember I will have friends from ALSA Thailand, Hongkong, Germany (this guy is our friend from European Law Students' Association -- ELSA), etc. Beside that, we also have to present our culture in cultural night. And... Trip, of course you know laa what this is about :P So what the picture above is about? Before going to Taipei, I was thinking of something interesting t...
