Shopping di Vancouver - Part 7 -

Khususnya buat Indonesians yang terkenal suka shopping, hehe.

Taken in 2006.
Sorry fotonya tidak menarik.
Wkt itu lg asik window shopping, hehe.


Seperti apa yang aku ceritakan tentang Street by Street: Waterfront and Gastown part 6 justru sebenarnya tidak terlalu jauh dari tempat shopping terkenal di Vancouver. Sebut saja Robson yg sebenarnya itu namanya jalan. Di situ anda akan ketemu berbagai macam toko (ada GAP, Old Navy, American Eagle, etc), kafe, restoran, dll.

Great Spots in Vancouver - Part 5 -

Do you enjoy visiting to museum?
Well, go to UBC (Unversity of British Columbia) named Museum of Anthropology.
But you should pay for that. Check out here

Jika anda suka museum, anda bisa ke Museum of Anthropology. Tetapi itu tidak gratis alias anda harus membayar. Mau tahu berapa harganya (sekalian harap perhatikan jam jadwal museum), cek di sini

This is my Korean sister's friend who took me to go there.
Luckily, she's a great model. I asked her to pose and she was okay.



Btw, aku gak perlu bayar di sana tp pinjam kartu pelajar punya adiknya aku (kebetulan kami rada sedikit mirip kale ya??).
Nakal ya ?? Hihihi .. Jangan tiru ya !! :p




You can buy souvenirs at The Museum Shop



Rose Garden - just at summer -
It's free !!

Skytrain in Vancouver - Part 4 -

If you bring a map of transportation Vancouver (you can pick it up wherever - at Travel Info Centre, UBC, Malls, etc) with your hand and you're asked to get on skytrain . You better know about route of skytrain (based on the map, there are 2 lines, Skytrain Expo Line and Skytrain Millennium Line - you can check out Transportation Vancouver map if you have).

Transportation Vancouver Map
Easy to bring with your hand


Skyrtain Expo Line (Mostly!!)
Burrard - Granville - Stadium - Science World Main Street - Broadway - Nanaimo - 29th Avenue - Joyce - Patterson - Metrotown - Royal Oak - Edmonds - 22nd Street - New Westminster - Columbia - Scott Road - Gateway - Surrey Central - King George Station


Foto diatas itu terletak di Commercial DR yang berdekatan dengan Broadway (anda sebaiknya hati-hati dan harus memperhatikan dimana arah kamu harus naik dari - ke ato ke - dari. Kalo anda tidak yakin, bisa tanya sama penumpang lainnya ato siapa yang tahu tentang rote).
Saya drop di Broadway & Commercial Dr (saling berdekatan) untuk turun naik bis yang menuju ke UBC.

Anda tidak usah kuatir kapan harus turun karena sudah ada papan nama rote yang akan memberitahukan bahwa anda harus / bisa turun. Bila anda ingin ke Metrotown (ada sebuah mall), sudah pasti ada papan yang tertulis metrotown dan lalu anda turun di situ dan siap2 menuju ke Metrotown Mall.

4. Menambahkan link kepada orang-orang yang diberikan nominasi di blog anda.
5. Tinggalkan pesan kepada nominatormu.


So here is my turn to make homework for fun :p

1. Two Beds.
To tell you the truth, I don't actually have my own bedroom although I've always been dreaming of owning my own bedroom. So, why 2 beds? All right, one bed where I go for bed at night, I'll be fast asleep when sheet and pillowcase must be neat and clean (I really hate when guests enter and then sit down or lay on the bed - Also, I myself won't do it, instead, sit down on floor or couch), wear a tight suit (not too tight), and use a blanket. Again, one another where I can take a nap or get rest, I can freely lay on the bed without changing my outfit. If there is just one bed, I'd like to have a bedspread. It sounds odd? :p

Dua Tempat tidur.
Dengan jujur, saya sebenarnya gak punya kamar sendiri walaupun saya selalu bermimpi untuk punya satu ini. Jadi, mengapa 2 tempat tidur? Ok, saya akan bisa tidur di atas tempat tidur dengan sprei dan sarung bantal yang harus benar-benar rapi dan bersih. Saya benci ketika orang lain masuk dan lalu duduk seenaknya atau berbaring di atas tempat tidur (karena kotor bajunya). Saya gak akan melakukan seperti itu. Sebagai penggantinya, saya akan duduk di lantai atau bangku / sofa. Saya juga memakai baju tidur yang agak sedikit ketat dan memakai selimut. Dan satu lagi, saya biasanya kalo mau istirahat / bermalas2an ato tidur siang, saya akan bebas berbaring di tempat tidur tanpa harus mengganti baju lainnya. Akan tetapi bila ada hanya satu tempat tidur, saya akan memakai bedspread. Kedengarannya aneh ya?? :p

2. Foods at Home.
I've always wanted to be a very great cooker, but ... I just always feel bad for maids. I can't not to give foods/cakes/snacks for them. Perhaps, it's because I stayed at dormitory for nine years (from 5 to 14 years of age) and I can really imagine how hungry I am or how hungry people are. I really hate knowing that, for example, people give cakar ayam or kepala ayam to maids. Oh, no, I won't give like it. But if I want to eat very delicious foods, I choose to eat out without feeling guilty. Sometimes, I dream of not having the maids, but .. dunno!!

Makanan di rumah.
Aduuh pingin jago masak, tp kenapa ya saya suka ngerasa gak enak hati kalo gak ngasih makanan/kue/snack kepada maids (or servicers, u must know what I meant). Mungkin karena saya dulunya pernah tinggal di asrama selama 9 tahun (dari umur 5 - 14 tahun), saya bisa membayangkan betapa laparnya saya atau orang lain. Saya benci kalo orang yang ngasih cakar ayam atau kepala ayam kepada mereka. Saya gak akan memberi seperti itu. Pada suatu hari saya ingin makan yang enak2, ya mendingan pergi makan di luar saja deh, biar gak ngerasa bersalah. Kadang, saya ingin gak punya maids, tp .. entahlah !!

3. Daily / Weekly Resolutions. To do what I want or have to accomplish.

Daftar Harian ato Mingguan. Untuk melakukan apa yang mau / harus saya selesaikan / capaikan.

4. Don't have a credit card. (hide my head, do I need?? huhahaha .. not really care about it). But to be honest, I'd really like to get one someday.

Tidak punya kartu kredit. (Cuek ah !!) Tp saya sangat ingin punya nantinya.

5. Insomnia.
I won't be able to go for bed if I know there is something that not be accomplished yet. Or get stressed out as well. Huh !!

Gak bisa tidur.
Saya gak akan bisa tidur bila tahu ada hal lainnya yang belum saya capaikan. Ato juga kalo saya lg stress. Huh !!

6. Being careful what I want to say to others. I believe in HUKUM KARMA very much. Sigh!

Lebih hati-hati ketika saya mau mengatakan apapun ke orang lain karena saya sangat percaya pada hukum karma. Duuh!!

7. A big house. Oh, no !!
Don't understand why I don't want to have the big house. But not too small, too. If I can, I'd really like to be nomadic. Hahaha .. just fairy tale !! :p

Rumah gede. Oh, tidak!!
Gak ngerti kenapa saya gak mau punya rumah gede. Tp jg jangan terlalu kecil banget. Kl bisa, saya ingin jadi pengembara. Hahaha ... Hanya khayalan !! :p

8. Be a hitchhiker many times.
Yes, it can be dangerous. You should be careful, I remind you.
It happened when I was traveling in Canada. I, actually, hate to be like it so much. But I did when I didn't have any choices, or I wanted to make it for fun. Btw, I wish I didn't do it anymore someday. It wastes so much time and so tiring.

Sudah beberapa kali jadi penumpang di mobil orang yang gak dikenal.
Yeah, itu bisa aja sangat berbahaya. Anda harus hati-hati, saya peringatkan anda!
Itu terjadi ketika saya sedang berpergian di Canada. Saya sebetulnya gak suka tp saya terpaksa ato hanya isenk. Tp saya berharap gak akan melakukannya lagi di suatu saat lain. Itu akan terbuang banyak waktu dan sangat melelahkan.

9. Hate Writing Essays.
I'm not good at that. Hate to be asked to write formal style. Aaarrggghh !!

Benci menulis esay.
Saya gak berbakat untuk satu itu. Benci bila diminta untuk menulis dengan gaya formal. Aaarrrggghhh !!

10. Blogging in English.
Sometimes get confused of which language I better use, my mother language or English or both. It depends on my mood which one I want to use, but .. basically, because I took a course of English and suffer from ...., so I think I should practice much more and improve well. I, honestly, hate what I write in English. Sounds very intermediate! Wanted that looks like advanced style, but ... it's my writing style.

Blogging dengan English.
Kadang bingung yang mana bahasa sebaiknya saya pake, bahasa ibu ato English ato keduanya. Itu tergantung mood saya mana bahasa saya mau pake. Tapi .. pada dasarnya, karena saya dulunya pernah kursus English dan menderita ... makanya saya sebaiknya latihan lebih banyak dan mengembangkan lebih baik lagi (Huh, sok kale ya??). Jujur, saya benci dengan gaya penulisannya saya. Bahasanya kayak anak SD. Maunya sih kayak yg advanced2 gitu deh. Tp itulah gaya bahasa saya.
