Petrichor

People like dancing in the rain, enjoying the water pours from the unlimited sky. They said.

I like staying under my blanket, looking behind my windows while raining heavily outside.

Rain, sometimes so terrifying sometimes so enchanting, for me romantic.

Most of all, 

The aroma of the wet soil after raining creates one of the best tranquility on me.

Rock and Roll in Museum? (Part 3-End)

Good day everyone! Another hour in my office desk...let me finish my obligation to inform you clearly why you should visit Museum Angkut+ and Moviestar Studio in Batu, Malang.

This museum hadn't stopped to surprise me yet. When I walked out from the indoor Europe Zone, I received another surprising moment....I transformed into Buckingham Palace, was I in England?

It was incredibly magical, unfortunately there were so many people so I couldn't take a "clean" picture. I went inside the building and it apparently looked so glamour. The sparkling chandeliers hanged all along the ceiling. The building itself kept the collections of royal limousine, even the red double dekker. You can meet the wax statue of Queen Elizabeth as well. If you are interested, you may enjoy the mini train that was freely operated on track inside the building.

We were welcomed by the Hollywood Zone or Movie Star Studio before barely arriving the exit gate. This section was actually an area where visitors could take picture with several Hollywood popular people made from wax.  Since, I got tired quite much and my friend's mood felt down too fast, we didn't take many pictures. So sad :( I'll definitely come back here!

Nusantara Floating Market

Eits! the story hasn't ended yet because when we stepped out the exit gate, we entered the next enchanted spot to dine and shop. The location was inside the Museum Angkut area called Pasar Apung Nusantara or Nusantara Floating Market. It sold various stuffs from souvenirs to traditional foods. We were soooo starving and decided to had a late luch first before going back to Malang.

Interesting, wasn't it? The area was divided into several smaller area named with Indonesia's Islands. Visitors could jump from one stall to another by taking the little cano/boat.

We were spoiled by the atmosphere until we forget that we've took so loong to chat while eating. We ran in hurry to catch the bus and bye amazing museum! I promise to visit you again someday :)

Rock and Roll in Museum! (Part 2)

After a moment of hiatus in my blog, I am going to continue and finish my travelling story in Batu and Malang now. I promised myself  to find leisure long time ago but I deceived it, so here I am on my office desk typing this post.

Previously I ended up my Museum travel journal in Batavia Zone, then we passed the Japan Zone but I did'nt capture many images because lack of lights. The collections are mostly the same, but there were a super huge truck tire that caught visitor's attention. Stepped out from this zone was a total surprise for me because I did feel like I was in USS. God, I missed Singapore. 

Welcome to the Gangster and Broadway Zone!

This thematic Museum did steal my whole heart, never thought that this was located in Indonesia. If I get chance to come back, I think I'll suit my outfit with the background to keep me sane.

I took a walk along the imitation road and I just couldn't stop taking pictures. 

Moved forward to the next zone (after realizing that we took too much time earlier), we entered the indoor room contained of Europe Zones. Firstly, I flee to Germany, Italy, France and England. I was mesmerized by the nuance and atmosphere they created, lovely! I felt like I was really time-traveled to Europe.

Rockin' Roll in Museum? (Part 1)

Gosh! Get to hibernate like several days to finish my travelling story in Batu, Malang. Ulalaa. This episode, I'll bring you to the imitation of Universal Studio Singapore in Indonesia, haha! For you who have no idea what I'm talking about, don't be confused pals! I'll give you a picture clue:

Get it? Well this is the hype that people are fussing about nowadays, a new (not a brand one new actually) hangout place to go with friends or families. So friendly to be visited by any age range and not pricey at all. And believe it or not, this isn't a theme park like people will probably consider as, but this is a museum. Wow! Taraaaa let me introduce you to the coolest museum in town, Museum Angkut+ and Movie Star Studio.

When I was entering the main gate, my first reaction was shocked. In the first area, visitors directly got into a big display room that were decorated in interesting way. This zone displayed many different series of oldies and antique cars and other vehicles complete with the information about the year of making, the factory, and lil bit of the popular history. The museum collected and kept the vintage cars, motorcycles, bicycles, horse-drawn carriages from various sources. The most attractive one were the limousine that used to be rode by first president, Bung Karno. There were also a mini legendary helicopter of Mr. President.

The picture above was me, Dilla and the historical limousine.

Well, sorry if you'll find my face in every photo ;)

Moved to the second zone upstairs, it displayed traditional vehicles such as pedicab from several region in Indonesia, ox cart, palanquin, etc. It had miniature replica of Pinisi Boat and Titanic as well. There were also education zone where visitors could learn the knowledge base about transportation vehicles from the past century.  

Did I look like really in Machu Pichu? 

On the balcony, we found a replica of Apollo which was actually a tower to sightseeing.Our eyes were feasted by the landscape scenery around.

Took a walk outside the building, we entered the colorful area where was soo photogenic.It represented the nuance of an street with several shops and government office on the right and left side of the road. Indeed, the traditional vehicles were displayed at the edge of the road to strengthen the old market view.

Yes, I took many experimental photo which in some point I felt that my outfit matched with the background. Perhaps, it was because of the contrast colors I wore.

Moved forward a bit, we arrived to the Batavia and Sunda Kelapa zone which represented a port. I was mesmerized by the panorama painting all around the wall. That zone was basically inspired by old Jakarta as the capital city of Indonesia that formerly called Sunda Kelapa and Batavia.
