Menyapa Senja di Pantai ‘Tetangga’

22 05 2014

“Eh ke pantai yuk! Lagi galau ni.”, ucap salah satu teman.

Tanpa basa basi kami langsung mengiyakan. Sore itu kami pun memutuskan untuk mengunjungi pantai tetangga yang ternyata jaraknya cukup dekat dengan tempat kami tinggal sekarang di Pulau Lombok. Di pulau Lombok ini kami yang berstatus sebagai sarjana kehutanan sedang tergabung dalam program dari kementerian kehutanan yang disebut BASARHUT (Bakti Sarjana Kehutanan) untuk melakukan pengabdian kami sebagai seorang rimbawan selama 2 tahun. Kami ditempatkan di pulau Lombok bagian Timur tepatnya di Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan (KPH) Rinjani Timur. Dalam kesehariannya kami tinggal di kota Selong yang merupakan ibukota dari Kabupaten Lombok Timur tetapi wilayah kerja kami cukup luas meliputi hutan – hutan yang ada di Lombok bagian Timur ini termasuk juga hutan di Lombok bagian selatan.

Part VII. Indonesia I'm Coming :D !!! -ending-

Our way to Domodedovo International Airport

Finally our plane took off!!! From Domodedovo International Airport to Dubai International Airport and we stayed at Dubai for some hour then we flew again from Dubai International Airport to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Arrived in Indonesia our journey still continued. Because Indonesia is so wide and Soekarno – Hatta International Airport located in our capital city, Jakarta, while we live in Yogyakarta which has about 600 km we must fly again from Soekarno – Hatta International Airport to Adi Sucipto International Airport. (Complicated right?)

Part VI. If I Could Stay Longer (Last minutes in Russia)

My Japanese friends airplane

 Our 3rd day was our last official day. I mean in this day all of the main schedule we had for IJFC (International Junior Forest Contest) had been over. The rest day was our free time till our flight schedule calling. Some of my friends had been ready to go home due to their flight schedule. As the proverb said “There’s a meeting there’s a separation”, although it was sad we must say good bye each other. But it doesn’t mean we can’t meet each other, we all say goodbye to meet again in better situation and better condition. Someday! It must! Haha

Farewell with My Chinese friend :)

Part V. Finally (Walk Around Moscow City)

Matrioska - traditional doll from Russia

In our 3rd day we had a chance to walk around Moscow city. At first we had a free time from the morning till noon. At that time my PIC, lecturer, I, and some friends decided to go to market. We want to buy some gift for families and friends in our own country, indeed. We walked from the hotel to the market. Fortunately the market was near with the hotel it only took about 10 minutes. Before it we went to money changer to change our dollars to rubel because most of the shop in the market didn't accept payment using dollars.

After that without any platitude we went to the market. Arrived in the market we went separately because we had different object to buy. Even though we went separately but we made such agreement to meet up at the market gate after we finished our shopping.
