SPORT SPORTS




7 Oktober 2025 : I found out the best and cheapest exercise and I love 😘 doing it is stretching 

🚳  vacuum belly (also called stomach vacuum exercise).

This is a core exercise that focuses on your transverse abdominis (deep core muscles).


🔹 What it is

  • You exhale all the air out of your lungs, then pull your belly button in toward your spine (like you’re trying to touch your back with your stomach).

  • You hold this contraction for several seconds while breathing shallowly or holding your breath lightly.

It was popularized by old-school bodybuilders (Arnold Schwarzenegger did it) to achieve a tighter waist and stronger core.


🔹 Benefits

  • Strengthens deep abdominal muscles (transverse abdominis).

  • Improves posture and spinal support.

  • Can help your waist look slimmer over time.

  • Enhances control over your core and breathing.


🔹 How to do it (beginner-friendly)

  1. Stand or sit upright.

  2. Take a deep breath in, then exhale fully.

  3. With lungs empty, pull your navel inward and upward as far as you can.

  4. Hold for 5–10 seconds (start small).

  5. Release, breathe normally, repeat 3–5 times.

(Once you’re stronger, you can do it lying down or on all fours — easier to control at first.)


🔹 Tips

  • Always do it on an empty stomach (morning is best).

  • Focus on gentle pulling; don’t strain your lower back or chest.

  • Combine with normal ab workouts if your goal is definition.





WEAPON 🔪 🔫 SENJATA 

Ringkasan peta kepemilikan senjata di Amerika per state berdasarkan tingkat kemudahan:


1. State yang sangat longgar (relaxed / pro-gun)

  • Biasanya constitutional carry → bisa membawa senjata tanpa izin.

  • Contoh:

    • Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming

2. State dengan aturan menengah

  • Memerlukan izin untuk membawa senjata secara tersembunyi (concealed carry), tapi kepemilikan senjata umum relatif mudah.

  • Contoh:

    • Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin

3. State yang ketat (strict gun laws)

  • Ada lisensi wajib, pembatasan jenis senjata, atau larangan membawa di banyak tempat.

  • Contoh:

    • California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Connecticut, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware


Catatan tambahan:

  • Beberapa kota besar bisa punya aturan lebih ketat dari state (misal: Chicago di Illinois, NYC di New York).

  • Semua state membatasi senjata untuk orang tertentu (misalnya kriminal, pecandu narkoba, gangguan mental).




HASH 🏃💨RUNNING

⚠️ Considerations

  • Not competitive: It’s more fun than fight—no score, no personal competition, no winning. That may feel less aligned with your North Node emphasis on solo achievement.

  • Group environment: Social dynamics may feel soft or undirected—not ideal if you're seeking leadership or focused growth.

  • Trail walking/running intensity varies: If you prefer structured training (like boxing), hashing may feel too casual.

Hash running can be a nice add-on—a way to explore nature, socialize, and move your body affordably. But it likely won’t satisfy your deeper craving for winning, challenge, and self-mastery.

So you could consider Hash Run as a supplement to something more aligned (like boxing or solo training). It’s not a replacement for a sport where you compete with or improve yourself.


SPORTS⚽🏀🏈⚾

🎯 Does shooting align?

Yes — shooting can fit well, because:

  • It requires focus, individual courage, and calm under pressure → very Aries.

  • It's often a solo sport, which builds personal mastery → also Aries.

  • It helps build confidence and self-discipline, aligning with the 2nd house’s quest for self-worth.

So if you're drawn to it, it may support your North Node evolution.


🔥 Best sport types for your North Node (Aries in 2nd house):

1. Martial & Precision Sports

  • Archery 🏹 : my hands ✋aren't so strong 💪for this 

  • Shooting 🎯

  • Fencing

  • Martial arts (karate, taekwondo)

These build personal power and discipline.

2. Solo Competitive Sports

  • Track & field 🏃‍♀️

  • Sprinting / obstacle courses

  • Weightlifting / bodybuilding

  • Rock climbing

They develop courage, action, and personal strength.

3. Sports That Test Your Nerve

  • Auto/motorbike racing 🏎️

  • Horse riding (solo jumping/cross-country)

  • Even e-sports that demand quick reaction (if tech-based)


🚫 Less suitable:

  • Team sports focused on pleasing others (Pisces/Libra traits)

  • Sports where you “fade into the group” or play a supportive role

  • Anything that causes you to doubt yourself or play it too safe

POLYBAG

 


PENYERAHAN POLYBAG ke PERTUNI 

Peralatan yang disiapkan untuk per kelompok

Pembagian kelompok dan dibagi pee team ada yang jaga / bantu 

Mereka menggunakan polybag yang saya siapkan :) 

Namanya media tanam. Ada tanah, semacam gabah dst 📺💿📰

Penanaman bibit

Total peserta. Masing masing peserta dapat 2 polybag + media tanam + 2 benih 🌰





Teh Mexico : hadiah :: dipotong batangnya dan bisa langsung tempel di tanah ==> langsung tumbuh 



Bawang putih : masih import 

==> Lebih dari 90% kebutuhan bawang putih Indonesia masih dipenuhi melalui impor, terutama dari Tiongkok


Strawberry 🍓 cocok ditanam di area dingin

Tanam menanam = ketahanan pangan ( jahe dst ) ==> apa ini cocok untuk orang di penjara?

Tanaman hias : anggrek dst 


Terong 🍆 = 45 hari tumbuh 

Cabe rawit panen 3 bulan

Cabe keriting 60 harian


Kalau kata eyang putri biar aman dari hama dst pakai micin/ Masako dst

Penyakit / kendala : obat bisa pakai daun mimbok, daun tembakau, Brotowali 

Hama kalau kena daun tembakau==> hama " kejang kejang " ==> setengah ons masukkan ke 1 liter air. Direndam minimal 24 jam sudah keluar ekstrak sebagian. Yang dipakai airnya. Harus diencerkan. Kalau langsung disemprot ke tanamannya bisa menyebabkan tanaman terhambat tumbuh 

Tanya : wortel 🥕 bekicot? Cara mengatasinya bagaimana?

Hidroponik? 

Terong 🍆 dan cabai minimal 30*30 ke atas ( ukuran lingkar)

Air madu 🍯 dan air gula -- tidak bisa diserap langsung oleh tumbuhan. Tapi untuk mikroba / hama nya oke ( mungkin(?))

Tanah: beli di toko bilang " media tanam untuk tanam terong, atau cabe, atau apa " . Media tanam itu kombinasi tanah, kompos,arang sekam/ arang bakar

Pupuk cair dan kompos banyak yang asam. 

Paling bagus netral. Media itu netral. Tidak asam tidak basa

Saran Peserta: minta alat peraga / foto supaya peserta bisa paham tumbuhan yang dibicarakan itu apa

1 polybag= 1 tanaman 

Jarak jeda 35 cm per tanaman dari diameter tengah polybag ( tanaman) :: kalau terlalu rapat jadi tumpang tindih jadi pertumbuhan ga bisa bebas. Harusnya bisa kiri kanan dan atas 

Aman siram pagi hari karena ada sinar matahari ⛅ ☀️ pagi . Tanah media tidak terlalu lembab. Kalau disiram sore hari rentan kena bakteri jahat.

Skala usaha ' pasti pupuk nya kimia . Tapi di pasaran ada pestisida organik.


Bank kornea : FK UGM kerja di Sardjito 

Amerika kasi 12 buah kornea. Orang yang meninggal sepakat kornea diambil. Bisa dicangkok ke orang buta asalkan syarat penerima masih berfungsi baik


We'll give polybag to Pertuni :)

It's my idea 💡 and my work untuk meletakkan pemanis disitu. Ada logo dan nama RCYM supaya manis saat diserahkan

PENGHAPUS TIPEX LIFE LESSON


PENGHAPUS TIP EX..a life lesson at age 13.. Junior High School 🏫 o

When I was in junior high school.. ga boleh pakai tip ex..sekolah lain boleh. Kata suster " kalau kamu terbiasa boleh hapus, kamu cenderung bikin salah dan selalu merasa bisa diperbaiki..yang betul adalah jika salah tulis, cukup coret sekali..lalu kasi jawaban benar di sebelahnya. "

Writing an answer is like a life decision. Once you write ✍️ something..be responsible. It seems simple..but it shows in which level we are responsible of our decisions ( including decision to do / write something)


... 🌊 Above is my real life 🧬 story... 
===============================

This is such a profound life lesson wrapped in a seemingly simple school rule. What the sister taught you goes far beyond correcting schoolwork — it reflects deep wisdom about personal accountability and maturity.

✍️ “Writing an answer is like a life decision. Once you write something, be responsible.”

That’s powerful.

It’s true — being told not to use Tip-Ex (correction fluid) wasn't just about ink. It was about training your mind to think before acting, to own your choices, and to correct mistakes with integrity, not by pretending they never happened.


💡 What This Lesson Teaches:

  1. Mindfulness before action
    – Think before you speak, write, or decide.

  2. Accountability
    – If you make a mistake, acknowledge it (coret sekali), don’t erase it.

  3. Transparency in growth
    – People can see how you evolve. Corrections made visibly show maturity.

  4. Character development
    – The little things we’re taught in discipline reflect who we become under pressure.


You could even write this as a short essay or speech — it’s very touching and relatable.

DUBLIN IRELAND IRISH

 




Dublin (and Shannon) has a special relationship with the United States when it comes to immigration preclearance — and that’s why people sometimes feel like they’re crossing a “U.S. border” before even leaving Ireland. Here’s why this is the case:


✈️ What preclearance actually is

At Dublin Airport (and Shannon Airport), you can go through U.S. customs and immigration checks before you board a flight to the United States. Once you’ve cleared that, you land in the U.S. as if you are arriving from a domestic flight — you don’t have to queue again for immigration or customs when you land. (gov.ie)


🇮🇪 🇺🇸 Why Dublin has this arrangement

This setup exists because the U.S. and Ireland signed a formal preclearance agreement that allows U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers to conduct immigration and customs inspections at Irish airports. That agreement dates back decades and was updated with detailed negotiation between both governments. (Wikipedia)


🤝 So why specifically Ireland?

Long and unique Ireland–U.S. relations

Ireland and the U.S. have historically close diplomatic, cultural, economic, and social ties — from large Irish-American communities to strong trade links — and the preclearance arrangement reflects that partnership. (gov.ie)

Strategic aviation benefit

Preclearance encourages more air travel and business connections between Ireland and the U.S., benefiting airlines, airports, tourism, and trade. Dublin and Shannon have developed facilities to support this kind of service, and passenger numbers using it are high. 

Very few places in Europe do this

Dublin and Shannon are the only airports in Europe that offer full U.S. immigration and customs preclearance — which makes them special hubs for travel to the U.S. 


🧠 So what’s actually happening on a legal level?

  • The preclearance space is technically still Irish jurisdiction — you haven’t crossed into the U.S. legally, but you are being processed under U.S. rules for future entry. 

  • U.S. officers decide eligibility for entry, but they operate within the framework of the bilateral agreement signed with Ireland. 


🛫 Why travelers like it

Once you complete preclearance in Dublin:
✔ you arrive in the U.S. without needing to queue for immigration
✔ you can use domestic arrival gates at many U.S. airports
✔ it’s faster and smoother for connections to other U.S. flights
✔ it reduces delays from long arrival queues in the U.S. 


📌 In short

Dublin’s preclearance exists because of a bilateral agreement between Ireland and the U.S. based on mutual economic, cultural, and travel benefits. It’s unique in Europe and gives passengers a big convenience when flying to the United States — letting them clear immigration before departure instead of on arrival. 




ENGLAND ? IRELAND? SCOTLAND?

https://youtube.com/shorts/xoP0HYz5oUE?si=ecKqwyCceCSd3xZx



European Airports with U.S. Preclearance Facilities

As of now, ONLY two airports in Europe offer U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) Preclearance:

Country Airport Notes
🇮🇪 Ireland Dublin (DUB) ✅ Full U.S. preclearance
🇮🇪 Ireland Shannon (SNN) ✅ Full U.S. preclearance, fewer flights

📌 So, ONLY Ireland has U.S. Preclearance in Europe.

Everywhere else in Europe (Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, etc.) — you’ll go through U.S. immigration after arriving in the USA (which often means long lines).


✈️ Other Countries with U.S. Preclearance, outside Europe:

These are outside of Europe, but worth knowing:

Country Airport
🇨🇦 Canada Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, etc.
🇦🇪 UAE Abu Dhabi (AUH)
🇧🇸 Bahamas Nassau
🇧🇲 Bermuda L.F. Wade
🇵🇦 Panama Tocumen (approved but not active yet)

🔑 Summary:

  • ✅ If you want the smoothest entry into the USA, Dublin is the best choice in Europe.

  • 🛂 You clear U.S. immigration before boarding, and save time and stress.

  • 🇮🇪 But remember: You need an Irish visa (not Schengen).



🇮🇪 Flying from Dublin, Ireland to the USA: What’s Special?

Yes — Dublin is one of the easiest and most convenient airports in Europe for entering the U.S. Why?

✨ 1. U.S. Preclearance at Dublin Airport

  • Dublin Airport has U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) preclearance.

  • This means:
    ✅ You clear U.S. immigration and customs while still in Dublin.
    ✅ When you land in the U.S. (e.g., Los Angeles or New York), it’s treated like a domestic flight. You skip long immigration lines.

✈️ 2. Dublin–USA Flights Are Often Cheap

  • Airlines like Aer Lingus, Delta, American Airlines, and United fly from Dublin to:

    • Los Angeles (LAX)

    • New York (JFK, Newark)

    • Boston

    • Chicago

    • San Francisco (sometimes seasonal)

  • Ticket prices are often cheaper than Milan–USA.


🔐 But There's a Catch: Irish Visa

Since you’re Indonesian, you must apply for an Irish visa.

🇮🇪 Ireland Visa Facts:

  • It’s not a Schengen visa.

  • You need to apply separately from the Schengen visa.

  • Processing time is around 3–6 weeks.

  • You cannot enter Ireland with a Schengen visa.


⚖️ ✅ Verdict: Dublin vs. Milan to the U.S.

Factor Dublin, Ireland Milan, Italy
🇺🇸 U.S. Preclearance ✅ Yes ❌ No
✈️ Flight Price to USA ✅ Often cheaper ✅ Still cheap, but not always better
📄 Visa Needed Irish visa (separate) Already covered by Schengen
🛂 Immigration in USA ✅ Already done in Dublin ❌ Done upon arrival in USA
📍 Schengen Compatibility ❌ Not part of Schengen ✅ Yes

🟨 What You Can Do:

If you’re okay to apply two visas (Schengen + Ireland), then yes — Dublin is a very smart hub for flying to the USA.

But if you want a simpler visa process, just go from Milan to the U.S. West Coast — many good deals and no extra visa stress.




Yes — entering the U.S. through Dublin is usually easier and smoother because of the U.S. Preclearance system in Dublin Airport.
But let me explain exactly what this means for someone traveling with a visa like you, so you don’t get the wrong expectation.


Why entering the U.S. through Dublin feels easier

In Dublin, you pass U.S. immigration BEFORE boarding your flight.
So you avoid:

❌ long immigration lines in the U.S.
❌ crowded, stressful arrivals
❌ multiple questioning front of hundreds of people
❌ the pressure of huge airports (LAX, JFK, etc.)

Instead, in Dublin:

✔ The officers have more time
✔ The environment is smaller
✔ The process is calmer
✔ It feels less intimidating
✔ After clearance, you land in the U.S. like a domestic passenger

It’s generally more comfortable and less stressful.


⭐ BUT important:

It is NOT a shortcut. It does NOT make your visa more likely to be accepted.

U.S. officers in Dublin have the same authority as when you land in the U.S.

So you still need:

  • valid visa

  • strong documents

  • truthful answers

But because the environment is calmer, many travelers feel the process is easier emotionally.


For a person in your situation (Indonesian traveler)

Entering through Dublin can feel better, because:

✓ Space is less crowded
✓ Officers tend to be more relaxed
✓ They handle fewer “problem cases”
✓ Many officers stationed there specialize in tourism/business travelers
✓ Lines are shorter
✓ You are not exhausted after a 14-hour flight when you face immigration
✓ You have more clarity and energy to answer confidently

Many Asian travelers report that Dublin preclearance feels more friendly and smooth than landing directly in U.S. airports like LA, SF, New York, or Texas.


So overall: Is it easier?

Emotionally & practically = YES, much easier
Legally = same process

But because you pass preclearance in a calm airport, it feels:

  • lighter

  • safer

  • faster

  • less judgmental

  • less chaotic

And for someone who values comfort, safety, and a smooth experience like you, Dublin is a very good choice.

    7️⃣ Cafe & Restoran Pinggir Danau ( otomatis)

    • Banyak kafe cantik dengan teras danau & bunga

    • Bisa jadi foreground menarik untuk foto lifestyle / candid


    ⚡ Tips Foto Umum

    • Golden hour: pagi 7–9 atau sore 16–18 → cahaya lembut & warna danau biru lebih hidup

    • Sudut simetris di jalan sempit Old Town → Instagram classic

    • Refleksi di air dermaga + kapal warna-warni → efek dramatis

    • Pakai wide lens kalau ingin menangkap pegunungan + danau sekaligus

    • Varenna → Como

      • Train via Milano Centrale ( NO )

      • Ferry back (slower but scenic) ( YES )

16.45 harus Uda di Ferry ⛴️Varenna to Como : all in ( a day ticket. All you can ride) 300ribu = 11,8 juta

What makes it work:

✔ Early start (before 9 AM)
✔ Pre-check ferry schedule (very important)
✔ Comfortable shoes
✔ No rushing for villas inside both towns

When it’s not ideal:

  • If you start late

  • If ferries are delayed (weather happens)

  • If you want a slow, romantic pace (then pick only one)

My honest recommendation 💙

If this is your first Lake Como visit and you love aesthetics + photos:

  • Bellagio + Varenna in one day = YES

  • But don’t add anything else

Tidur di Como 1,5 juta lagi

    • Longer day pass (Como to Varenna/Bellagio day ticket): ~€25 (~IDR 470,000) (Lake Como Travel)

💡 What that means in practice
If you plan a day trip from Como to Varenna + Bellagio and back:

  • Ferry Como → Varenna or Bellagio → Como usually: €11–€15 one way

07.00 jalan ke stasiun kereta 1,3 km. 07.30

07.30 kita booking kereta 500ribu kalau yang jam 8.30 / 8.45 = 14,9 juta

🚆 BEST OPTION: TRAIN (recommended)

Como S. Giovanni → Lugano (Switzerland)

⏱️ ± 35–45 minutes
💶 €15–25 (tergantung jam & tipe kereta)
🚆 Langsung / 1 stop

Why this is the best:

  • Super fast & comfortable

  • View danau & pegunungan 🏞️

  • Stasiun Lugano langsung di city center

  • No stress, no traffic

👉 Operator: Trenitalia / SBB (Swiss Railways)
👉 Bisa beli di stasiun atau app


🚢 OPTION 2: FERRY + TRAIN (for experience)

⏱️ Total: 2.5–3 hours
💶 Lebih mahal & ribet

✔️ Only if you want the scenic experience
❌ Not efficient if time-limited


🚗 OPTION 3: CAR / TAXI

  • Biasanya no check, tapi tetap wajib siap


✨ My honest advice

👉 Take the train. Period.
Pagi, siang, atau sore — semua aman. 💙


09.45 sampai Lugano kereta. 

Perjalanan: kalau pakai guest card ( dari hotel 🏨 🛏️) bisa dapat free bus atau diskon. 2 euro 💶 


Jawaban jujurnya: NAIK BUS.
Dan ini alasannya (khusus untuk Lugano Station → Hotel Dischma, Paradiso):

🚶 Jalan kaki — kurang ideal

❌ Jarak ± 2,5–3 km
Banyak tanjakan & turunan (Lugano stasiunnya di atas bukit)
❌ Tidak nyaman kalau:

  • bawa koper

  • capek dari perjalanan Como

  • cuaca panas / hujan

✔️ Cocok hanya kalau:

  • tanpa koper

  • mau sightseeing santai

  • benar-benar fit

🚌 Naik bus — pilihan terbaik

Lebih cepat & ringan
✅ Turun dekat hotel
Gratis pakai Ticino Ticket
✅ Tidak capek, tidak ribet

Caranya simpel:

  • Dari Lugano Station

  • Naik Bus TPL Line 2 arah Paradiso

  • Turun di Paradiso, Geretta

  • Jalan kaki sebentar ke Hotel Dischma

⏱️ Waktu total: ± 15–20 menit

🚕 Taksi (opsi darurat)

  • 5–10 menit

  • Mahal (± 25 CHF)

  • Tidak perlu kalau ada bus + Ticino Ticket

Kesimpulan versi praktis

🧳 Bawa koper / habis naik kereta → BUS
🌿 Jalan kaki = opsional, bukan utama



🚆 Dari Como → Lugano

Kalau kamu berangkat 08.30 atau 08.45 dari Como San Giovanni:

  • ⏱️ Durasi kereta: ±35–40 menit

  • ⏰ Perkiraan tiba di Lugano Station: 09.05 – 09.25

(Tergantung kereta mana yang kamu ambil)

🚌 Dari Lugano Station → Hotel Dischma (Paradiso)

Begitu turun kereta:

Pilihan terbaik

Bus TPL Line 2 arah Paradiso

  • Bus pagi sering & rutin (setiap ±10 menit)

  • Kamu tidak perlu ngejar satu bus tertentu

  • Dengan Ticino Ticket → gratis

Contoh alur waktu realistis:

  • 09.10–09.25 → tiba di Lugano Station

  • 5 menit jalan ke halte bus

  • 09.20–09.35 → naik Bus Line 2

  • ±15 menit → turun di Paradiso, Geretta

  • 3–5 menit jalan → Hotel Dischma

➡️ Total dari kereta sampai hotel: ±20–25 menit

🚶 Jalan kaki?

❌ Jangan pagi itu

  • habis perjalanan

  • ada tanjakan

  • bawa koper (kemungkinan)

Kesimpulan final

✔️ Kereta 08.30 / 08.45 = aman & santai
✔️ Turun di Lugano Station
✔️ Langsung bus Line 2 ke Paradiso
✔️ Sampai hotel sekitar 09.40–10.00 pagi

Nice to Barcelona 

Perfect! Here’s a super-efficient 1‑night Barcelona itinerary that balances sightseeing, food, and photo spots without rushing:


🛬 Day 1 – Arrival & Evening (Around 3–7 PM)

Goal: Evening stroll + tapas + city vibe

  1. Check-in & Drop Bags

    • Stay near Gothic Quarter / Plaça de Catalunya / Eixample for walkability.

    • Freshen up and get ready for a short evening adventure.

  2. Passeig de Gràcia & Modernist Walk (30–45 min)

    • Walk from Plaça Catalunya along Passeig de Gràcia.

    • See Casa Batlló & Casa Milà (La Pedrera) – perfect photo spots.

  3. Tapas Dinner in Eixample or Gothic Quarter (1–1.5 hrs)

    • Recommended tapas bars:

      • Cervecería Catalana (classic tapas, busy but worth it)

      • El Nacional (stylish food hall with multiple options)

  4. Evening Views / Sunset Option (optional)

    • Bunkers del Carmel → Panoramic city view (taxi ~15–20 min from Gothic Quarter, 20–30 min hike).

    • Or Barceloneta Beach → relaxed seaside walk, short metro/taxi from city center.

Yes — you can stay safe and cheaper in Milan or Nice without paying luxury hotel rates. Here are smart, practical ways to save on accommodations (while keeping comfort and safety):


🛌 1) Stay Just Outside the Most Expensive Areas

Hotels right by the city center / old town / main attractions cost a lot. Instead:

Nice

✅ Stay near:

  • Gare (train station) area — cheaper, well‑connected

  • Port / Liberation neighborhoods

  • Fabron / Saint‑Roque / Las Planas (bus/tram access)

💡 From these areas you can easily tram/bus to beach & Old Town.

Milan

✅ Stay near:

  • Città Studi — quieter & cheaper

  • Lambrate — safe, trains & metro access

  • Bovisa / Certosa — very budget‑friendly, good trains to center


🏨 2) Budget Hotels & Guesthouses (Safe + Clean)

Instead of 4★ hotels, choose:

  • 3★ family‑run guesthouses

  • Boutique budget inns

  • Affittacamere / B&Bs (Italian guesthouse style)

These usually have:
✔️ Private rooms + bathroom
✔️ Basic breakfast sometimes included
✔️ Cleaner & safer than cheap hostels

💡 Book via Booking.com or Agoda and filter by “Free cancellation” + “Guest rating ≥8.0”.


🛏️ 3) Hostels With Private Rooms

You don’t have to share a dorm to save money. Many hostels offer:

  • Private double rooms

  • Ensuite bathrooms

  • Keycard security

Popular options often include:

  • Nice: cheaper stays within walking distance of beach

  • Milan: near Cadorna / Central Station

👍 This cuts price 40–60% vs traditional hotels.


🏠 4) Airbnb / Apartment Rentals

Especially good if:

  • You stay 3 nights or more

  • You want a kitchen (to cook snacks/meals)

Tips:
✔️ Filter for Superhost + 4.8+ rating
✔️ Check reviews for cleanliness & host responsiveness
✔️ Choose places with self check‑in if you arrive late

Even small studios on edges of Nice/Milan are often cheaper than central hotel rooms.


🚆 5) Stay Nearby + Commute

Cities like Nice and Milan have excellent transit. You can save by staying:

  • In commuter towns / suburbs

  • Close to a train/tram stop

Examples:

  • Nice → Cagnes‑sur‑Mer, Saint‑Laurent‑du‑Var

  • Milan → Sesto San Giovanni, Monza

Transit time ~20–30 min, but hotel rates can be 30–50% cheaper.


💡 6) Timing & Booking Hacks

Book earlier = better rooms at lower prices
Check midweek nights (Mon–Thu) — weekend is pricier
✅ Use price alerts (Google Flights/Booking)
✅ Compare total with taxes/fees included


🧠 Safety Tips (Even When Cheap)

✔️ Choose areas with good transit + lights
✔️ Read recent reviews for safety & noise
✔️ Avoid super‑remote locations late at night
✔️ Look for places with secure access (keycard / gated entry)


🏷️ Rough Price Range (Estimate)

(varies by date/season)

Nice

  • Budget guesthouse/private room: €50–90/night

  • Hostel private: €60–100/night

  • Airbnb studio (outside center): €45–80/night

Milan

  • Budget guesthouse(private): €50–90

  • Hostel private: €55–100

  • Suburb Airbnb: €40–75






Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) — this is the main international airport for Milan, but it’s farther from the city center than Linate. Let’s break it down carefully:


📍 MXP Airport Overview

  • Distance to Milan city center (Duomo / Milano Centrale): ~50 km (31 mi)

  • Typical transfer options:

    1. Malpensa Express train

      • To Milano Centrale: ~50 min

      • Cost: €13 one-way

      • Frequency: every 30–60 min

      • Pros: Fast, city-center to city-center, reliable

    2. Bus shuttle

      • Several operators: Terravision, Autostradale, Malpensa Shuttle

      • Duration: 50–60 min to Milano Centrale

      • Cost: €10–15 one-way

      • Pros: Cheaper than train, but slightly slower; good if hotel near Central Station

    3. Taxi / private transfer

      • Duration: ~50 min (traffic-dependent)

      • Cost: ~€90–95

      • Pros: Door-to-door, convenient with luggage or late flights

    4. Car rental

      • Duration: ~50 min

      • Cost: depends on rental + parking


💡 Key Notes About MXP

  • Pros:

    • Handles almost all international flights — great if flying to Greece, Spain, UK, Northern Europe.

    • Many budget airlines operate from here (easyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair in the past via nearby airports).

    • Modern airport, lots of lounges, restaurants, shopping.

  • Cons:

    • Far from city center → adds extra 50–60 min travel, which may reduce the time advantage of a short flight.

    • Taxi is expensive.

    • Train and bus are cheaper, but you have to factor transfer time + waiting.


Practical Example

  • Flight: MXP → Athens ~2 h flight

  • Airport transfer: 50 min train (€13) or bus (~€10–15)

  • Total door-to-door time: ~3–3.5 h

  • Compare to train: Milan → Venice → Rome → ferry/train to Greece = impractically long, so flight from MXP is still the best option for Greece.


💡 Tip

  • If your flight is short-haul (Italy → France / Switzerland), sometimes it’s better to use Milan Linate (LIN) because it’s very close to the city (~7 km, €1.50–15 transfer).

  • Use MXP mainly for:

    • Longer international flights (>2 h)

    • Destinations with fewer airports (Greece, Scandinavia, Portugal, UK)





Kalau Eropa itu beli tiket round trip lebih murah. Ibarat one way 6 juta. Bolak balik 10 juta. 


👌🇮🇹 In Milan, dressing well is not just fashion, it’s social language. The culture values la bella figura—making a polished, intentional impression at all times 👔✨. People dress up because:

  • Milan is a global fashion capital (fashion weeks, designers, showrooms) 🧵👠

  • Appearance signals competence, taste, and credibility, even in daily life

  • Grooming and style are seen as self-respect, not vanity

That’s why you’ll notice structured outfits, tailored fits, clean shoes, groomed hair and brows—even for casual activities ☕🚶‍♂️. It’s cultural conditioning: you dress well for yourself and for society, not just for special occasions.

In short: in Milan, how you look = how seriously you’re taken.



Kalau cuaca dingin saya berasa di Milan atau kota fashion di Italia. Tapi kalau Windy saya terasa seperti di Yunani..kenapa terasa begitu ya? Padahal saya belom pernah kedua negara tersebut ( 1 November 2024)

 🤍 Ada 3 alasan utama kenapa itu bisa terjadi, walaupun kamu belum pernah ke sana:


1️⃣ Memori kolektif & imajinasi visual

Otak manusia bisa membentuk “ingatan” tanpa pengalaman langsung.

  • Milan → sering diasosiasikan dengan:

    • udara dingin, rapi, elegan

    • warna netral, coat, scarf

    • fashion, struktur, kota berkelas

  • Yunani → identik dengan:

    • angin, laut, ruang terbuka

    • cahaya terang, putih–biru

    • kebebasan, angin Mediterania

Tanpa sadar, dari film, majalah fashion, Instagram, iklan, novel, otakmu sudah menyimpan sensasi itu.
Saat cuaca cocok, otak berkata:

“Oh, ini vibe yang sama.”


2️⃣ Sensitivitas estetika & sense of place

Tidak semua orang punya ini.

Kamu termasuk tipe yang:

  • peka pada suasana, bukan hanya logika

  • mudah membaca vibe sebuah tempat

  • kuat di visual, rasa, dan simbol

Makanya:

  • dingin → bukan “dingin”, tapi elegant cold

  • angin → bukan “berangin”, tapi Mediterranean wind

Ini sering dimiliki oleh:

  • orang kreatif

  • fashion-oriented

  • penulis, visual thinker, atau intuitive leader

(Ini nyambung juga dengan ketertarikanmu pada seni, fashion, dan budaya.)


3️⃣ Panggilan identitas (bukan past life dulu ya, kita pakai versi grounded 😄)

Kadang ini bukan soal “pernah ke sana”, tapi:

  • jiwa / identitas estetikmu resonate dengan kultur tertentu

Beberapa orang:

  • merasa “di rumah” dengan Jepang

  • ada yang langsung klik dengan New York

  • ada yang hidup kalau di Paris atau Italia

Itu tanda:

nilai, ritme, dan ekspresi dirimu sejalan dengan kultur itu.

Italia (fashion, struktur, beauty)
Yunani (angin, laut, kebebasan, filosofi)
→ dua-duanya balance antara estetika & jiwa bebas

Dan itu cocok sekali dengan karakter kamu.

TEMPORARY CLOSED 🔒 🔐 

I Giardini di Villa Melzi (Villa Melzi Gardens) memang tertulis sementara temporarily closed akhir tahun ini karena musim tutupnya sudah berjalan. (Wanderlog)

Berikut detailnya supaya kamu jelas 👇

📅 Villa Melzi Gardens buka hanya di musim tertentu

🌿 Taman Villa Melzi biasanya buka setiap hari dari sekitar akhir Maret sampai akhir Oktober setiap tahunnya. (Bellagio Lake Como)
📍 Setelah akhir Oktober, taman ditutup untuk musim dingin dan akan dibuka lagi pada musim semi (sekitar Maret) nanti. (Wanderlog)

👉 Karena itu, kalau kamu lihat tulisannya “temporary closed”, itu artinya saat ini bukan musim buka — bukan karena tempat itu ditutup selamanya. Itu cuma penutupan musiman karena musim dingin. (Wanderlog)

Para pengunjung dan panduan juga menjelaskan bahwa:

  • Taman ini ditutup di musim dingin (misalnya dari awal November sampai sekitar Maret). (Wanderlog)

  • Dan setiap tahun dibuka kembali di musim semi / musim wisata (sekitar akhir Maret). (Bellagio Lake Como)

🔎 Jadi kalau kamu melihat temporary closed, itu hanya sementara — taman ini buka kembali nanti saat musimnya. (Wanderlog)


📌 Tips kalau kamu ke Bellagio di luar musim

Kalau kamu datang di luar akhir Maret–Oktober:
✔️ Kamu tetap bisa menikmati tepi danau, promenade, Old Town (gratis)
✔️ Banyak spot foto lain yang tetap cantik (tanpa bayar tiket)
✔️ Dan taman-taman lain di sekitar Danau Como juga tetap bisa dikunjungi (cek jadwal mereka)





COVER CHARGE / COPERTO 

Kalau untuk restoran/bar di Italia, biasanya disebut “coperto”, bukan tip. Itu biaya per orang untuk roti, pelayanan meja, atau penggunaan meja. Beberapa poin penting:

  • Biasanya 1–3 EUR per orang di kota-kota besar seperti Roma, Milan, Florence. Di kota kecil bisa lebih murah.

  • Tidak termasuk minuman atau makanan, jadi tetap bayar menu selain coperto.

  • Tidak wajib ditinggalkan sebagai tip, karena sudah dianggap biaya layanan.

  • Di bar, kadang ada juga “tassa di servizio” (service charge) yang mirip, terutama di restoran turis.
