Day Five : [ Fushimi Inari - Kiyomizudera Temple - Kodaiji Temple ]

First day in Kyoto, from our hostel J-Hoppers. It's the famous place. You've walked like 15 minutes from station. But, I forgot to take picture from our hostel's room. It's more comfort than Tokyo's. Our schedule visited many temples today. Hmm I thought because Kyoto was old city at Japan. I don't know, this place more calm than Tokyo. No rush, little rain, quiet, that's Kyoto. We took breakfast at 7/11 and I bought Meiji strawberry milk. It contained 500 ml and all drink in Japan not really sweet. I'd love it. After we arrived in the Kyoto station, we want to but bus ticket one day pass but it's not already opened.

So, we just took our train from Kyoto to Inari station. You could see bright orange gate welcomed you. Let's go to first gate, then second gate, and found all gate in tidy shaped. We just took picture in it and not till in the top. After exit the gate, I saw many cranes from paper were hanged on the waal and prayers too. A thousand crane in Japan symbolized about wish and prayer. Oh, there's trasitional dance too but tourist are prohibited taking picture. Many traditional food sold in there and the shop which sold the icon of Fushimi Inari were fox and the gate. Many things, like keychain, doll, or refrigerator magnet.Oh, I saw many beautiful Japan hairpin here. Hungry? The famous food in there were inari sushi (fox's favorite) and momiji cookies. Turn left after you saw many stalls and you would see many shop sold traditional food. There's one small place which put fake inari sushi in front of the restaurant and you could order it. This place has amazing taste of inari sushi even just rice, tofu skin, and sesame. But, the taste were savory and sweet ;D

Then, we got back to Kyoto Station to buy one day pass for bus ticket cost 500 yen. Don't forget taking map for Kyoto's highlight destination and number bus. It was easy to read the number for taking the right bus to arrive for your destination. Kyoto station is a big station, so you must queue to get a bus. Next destination was Kiyomizudera Temple, The temple has a great autumn view, love shrine, and big temple. This place has a waterfall which is believed if you got this water, then your wish came true. The happiness came when you walked along the street to the temple. Why? Because, there are so many place sold green tea snack and their traditional rice cake. Waw, I felt in heaven because I'd love food with green tea taste. I bought green tea soft ice cream, tasted free sample rice cakes, and the amazing green tea puff. Seriously, it was so so so delicious green tea puff!!! There are many shops sold traditional souvenir, hello kitty things, and Kyoto famous cosmetic Yojiya. I bought small sponge which contained rice, it told to make your face brightener. After searching, I've known their famous product is oil paper and powder paper. Hmm, Check this website for the review because their products are organic and traditional.

Before, we visited last temple, we walked at Gion at afternoon. Hmm, maybe it was not right time to see Geisha in Kyoto because they're nothing or we are not in the right location. So, we took a bus to Kodaiji 'Illumination' Temple. Arrive at night and outdoor. it was so cold at night. After buy ticket, we entered a traditional Japan home and garden. The temple was full of light at night and in the middle has a pond which reflected the light from the temple. It was beautiful :) After that, you went a small path to bamboo forest and enjoyed the lovely moon in Kyoto's clear night sky. Fiuhh, our eyes filled with beautiful Kyoto.I will recommend you to this place when go to Japan.

Making easy Europe Trip

Banyak yang bilang buat itinenary Eropa itu ribet dan susah, apalagi terkendala rute yang membingungkan dan bahasa yang berbeda-beda ditiap Negara Uni Eropa. Teknologi sekarang ini yang dengan internet semua informasi bisa didapatkan dengan mudah, mulai dari rute perjalanan, pilihan tempat menginap, dan budgeting. Saya sendiri sudah dua kali membuat jadwal perjalanan Eropa dan semuanya berjalan lancar, kecuali memang hal tidak terduga seperti terlalu padat sehingga kelelahan, tempat atraksi yang ramai, dan macet di jalan. Hal tersebut sangat mungkin ditemui, tetapi disitulah enaknya traveling sendiri tanpa Tour yang diorganisir orang lain. Kapan mau tidur, kapan mau bangun, kapan mau makan, mau liat disini lebih lama, mau cepat meninggalkan tempat, semuanya kita yang atur. Istilahnya ya kita keluar uang ketempat yang kita suka, jadinya ya jalan-jalan ya puas. 😄 Langkah-langkah membuat jadwal perjalanan Eropa : 1. Siapa Dengan siapa anda pergi akan berpengaruh pada keseluruhan...

Road to be a doctor in Germany

Pada saat Blog ini dibuat untuk membantu dokter umum di Indonesia yg ingin melanjutkan spesialisasi di Jerman. Saya sadar kita minim sekali informasi sehingga harus mengumpulkan informasi satu sama lain. Untuk itulah guna saya membuat blog ini supaya bisa memberikan Informasi. Saat mendapatkan STR (Surat Tanda Registrasi) sebagai Dokter Indonesia adalah hari yang paling membingungkan dalam hidup.  Jujur saya belum tahu, mau ngapain ya setelah lulus jadi dokter. Mendaftar spesialiasi? Bekerja di Rumah Sakit? Ambil Magister? Terus mau jadi spesialis apa? Saat sekolah, Saya selalu ingin menjadi dokter spesialis kulit. Kemudian Saat internship, Saya kok lebih tertarik jadi penyakit dalam. Pernah juga bahkan berpikir jadi dokter di Klinik Kecantikan atau ambil Magister Manajemen Rumah Sakit. Dan akhirnya diawali dengan ketidakyakinan sampai lah Saya di Jerman. Pengalaman pertama saya kenal bahasa Jerman adalah di Goethe Institut Jakarta. Saya les disana sampai A2 kira-kira...

VORSTELLUNGSGESPRÄCH (The Day) dan Pre Hospitasi di Rumah Sakit Jerman

Akhirnya setelah baca tips, nanya sana sini, nonton video, sampai juga hari dimana real Vorstellungsgespräch. Sebelumnya siap-siap baca tips penampilan yg umum, akhirnya memutuskan memakai blazer hitam, kemeja hitam corak putih, celana bahan, dan rambut diikat satu, sepatu kerja. Berangkat bener-bener awal bgt karena mau makan siang terlebih dahulu. Sampai disana, masih sekitar 1,5 jam sebelumnya janji, akhirnya memutuskan minum kopi di cafeteria. Kesan pertama RS bersih dan cukup besar. Lalu hal pertama adalah Tanya bagian informasi dimana letak ruangan sekretaris Chefarzt (Kepala Bagian Departemen). Sambil menunggu CA datang sekitar 20 menit setelah waktu yang dijanjikan, lalu dipanggil.  Masuk ke ruangan, ada juga Leitende Oberarzt (Kepala Dokter Spesialis) lalu dimulai dengan pertanyaan apa yang dilakukan saat ini? Saat itu agak sedikit kaget, karena memang sekarang hanya lagi kirim lamaran dan belajar ttg Medizin. Namun jawaban itu tidak memuaskan CA karena dia mengerutka...
