Today, we go to Bandung, because one of my relatives married and held a wedding party in there. We go there by train, because the flight from Yogyakarta to Bandung, only there's 2 times, and it's afternoon and evening. And we want to explore more of Bandung City, so we decided to go by Train which depart at night.

At the station Entrance, there's self-print computer for those who wants to print real ticket. You have to use your voucher boarding pass to print the ticket.

Enter your booking code into the machine, then they will self-print your ticket.

Then we proceed to the railway platform. Before we entering the platform, we have to check our indentity first.

At 21:15, the Turangga Train is coming. Then we proceed to the train. Our seat located at 2nd carriage. So we go there. There's not much passenger, because it's not holiday season.

Our train is executive type, so we can turn around the seat. Time to sleep, because we will arrive at Bandung at 05:21.

2014 April - Buy the Flight Ticket to South Korea

At the last week of April 2014, Airasia give promo for fly period 18 Aug 2014 to 30 Apr 2015. So this time, I decided to bought the ticket for my plan to go to South Korea. Even the ticket price was a promo ticket, but I thought, that's not the cheapest ticket too. But it's okay, because I don't know when will there is a promo again.

There's no direct flight from Yogyakarta, so I bought Yogyakarta to Kuala Lumpur round trip, and also Kuala Lumpur to Busan and Seoul (Incheon) to Kuala Lumpur.

I decided to went to Busan first for 3 nights, then go to Seoul and back from Seoul (Incheon). I plan to went with one of my best friend. And at Seoul we will meet my other friends who only go to Seoul.

When do I plan to go? It's a secret.. Teehee... XD

Just stay tune... :)
