Five, Six, Seven, Eight ! (Scream LOUD!)

NO! I’m not in an aerobic gym. It’s gold numbers. LONG Vacation in May 2016 !

I was thinking about one place to visit. The peaceful one? crowded place? rockin’ place? beautiful waterfall? forest? hometown? meet boyfriend?. All of sudden, my frontal lobe give an answer :

an ISLAND, saskia !

well, Me and my very very best friends went to Badi island. We got that place from the Almighty I n s t a g r a m. It’s located in Mattiro deceng, Liukang Tupabbiring, Pangkep, South Sulawesi. Hey, only 15K each to get there, isn’t it cheap? yes, it’s cheaper than your cup of coffee. We didn’t even bring tends, and we didn’t care. It took one and an half hours to get that place. In the first minutes I enjoyed the blue sea, the “skyscrapers” of Makassar 😛 and the harbour scenery till felt asleep.

Time goes, I heard the sound of boat’s machine was getting lower and lower…

I was very enthuasiastic, damn ! We finally arrived.Some people were sitting down around the jetty. I saw the crystal clear waters when jumped up from the boat. There were several colourful boats around the island. The sun was shining on the sea.

Woosah... Woosah *exhaling — Woosah… Woosah
*exhaling

We walked around the island by 3 pm.More less 300 families there. The electricity starts at 6 pm – 6 am. The are lots of kids and I saw some kids playing around the island, some goats with it’s shits, mothers talked with neighbors 😀

Setelah sarapan berpfoto dulu ama Pak Wahe, istri dan cucunya — after Had breakfast, me, Pak Wahe, her granddaughter and his wife

in the night, me and my friends walked over to the jetty. The air of the island was damn good. We sang loud, laughed loud, danced loud ! I’ve been in some islands, but this one was just uplifting, met a warm,generous family whom I’ve never seen before. Mr. Wahe is an old man who helped us and offered us to stay in his house. He hosted me and my friends for a night in his wooden house.

what a trip!

The wonderful feeling is when you met a stranger and gave you a best hospitality. I realized over and over that there are millions nice people out there. You might think that a stranger who adressed you are a danger one. No no no, go pack your stuff, call your friends, hit a new place, and you’ll figure it out.

Thanks a million for my ever ever best friends , y’all GOLD !

I love you,

Satu lagi cerita tentang hitchhiking aka numpang di kendarannya orang, saya bersama salah satu teman baik saya dari Rumania, Emil. Kami berdua telah mengunjungi Bantimurung. Untuk kalian yang kurang familiar atau asing dengan nama objek wisata ini bisa cari tahu ndiri di Almighty GOOGLE.

Nah,singkat cerita setelah kami mengeksplor kawasan itu, kami memutuskan untuk balik lagi ke Makassar. Suasana sore itu mendung dan ternyata pete’pete’ (istilah angkutan umum di Makassar) udah pada nggak beroperasi lagi. Jadi kami berdua terpaksa masang aksi “angkat jempol”.

tik tok tik tok

Kami bergantian ngacungin jempol. Nggak lama kemudian, satu mobil Rush putih tiba-tiba berhenti di depan kami. Setelah berbincang dengan pengendara, kemana mau kemana dari mana ama siapa, akhirnya kami dipersilahkan naik. Nggak cukup 3 menit untuk dapat tumpangan. Di dalam mobil itu ada 1 bapak (yang nyetir), 2 Ibu-Ibu dan satu gadis kecil. Saya berbincang-bincang dengan Om sementara si Tante yang satu sibuk foto-foto sama temen guwe. You knowlah pesonanya bule itu gimana kalo di kampung.

Nggak lama, kami turun di depan Mesjid Agung Maros. Kebetulan karena Om dan Tante ini beda arah ama kita, jadi yah diturunin disitu. Kami berpamitan dan ngucapin terimakasih dan yes melanjutkan perjalanan lagi. Langit sudah gelap, kami berjalan sambil sesekali berhenti ngacungin tangan. Nah disini kami lumayan lama dapet orang yang ngasih tumpangan soalnya udah gelap dan kendaraan melintas cepat. Banyak yang mau ngasih tumpangan, tapi setiap yang singgah dan nanya pasti nggak searah. Kebanyakan pada mau lewat tol sementara Saya dan Emil nggak ngarah kesana. Sekitar 15 menit, datanglah peri penolong yang baik hati. Mobil Pick up hitam yang perlahan demi perlahan ngerem di depan kami. Sepasang suami istri yang ngasih tumpangan. YAY ! Mereka bilang (logat Makassar) “Ndak papaji duduk di bak belakang?”.

Saya jawablah “Nggak sama sekali”

Orang-orang yang dikeliling guwe pada ngeliatin. Kebetulan mobil kami berhenti pas lampu merah depan bandara Sultan hasanuddin. Cuek bebek, nikmati aja, toh kaga ada yang kenal. 55555

Overall, it’s a fun trip Terimakasih buat orang-orang yang bersedia membagikan ruang di kendarannya untuk saya dan teman saya. Saya doain deh panjang umur, sehat selalu 😀

XX,

Saskia

*55555 adalah istilah gaol di Thailand yang berarti LOL.Nggak tahu LOL artinya apa? *tepokjidat
