"IT'S ME!" wathy's Profile


Thank you for visiting my page and thanks to VT and VT members for sharing such valuable travel tips.
Hope my travel tips also can be helpful for you.

Little summary of my life
1977 I was born in Tanjung Pinang, Bintan, Indonesia
1995 went to study in Jakarta at Trisakty University
1999 started my working life in Jakarta. A brand new start :)
2002 I quit my job for studying japanese in Urayasu city, Japan
Then starting my new job in Osaka, Japan in this year also.
2004 I found Virtual Tourist site, and joined it :)

VT made me recall memories of my travel. Actualy i almost forgot my travel experience except the pic still exist in my photo album in my hometown...
I tried to recall my travel and here are the summary.

19...83 maybe??.. my first trip to Singapore with my family. Singapore is the closest country from Bintan. Only need 2 hours by ferry.
Hmm.. as I was still a kid at this time, I don't remember too much about this trip.....
I haven't travelled much after since... I was still a small girl at that time. Sometimes go out to Jakarta or Batam. Thats all..
I often visit Singapore too about once a year. Well the main purpose was shopping ^^;

1998 Hongkong n ShenZhen, China. Hmm.. Although I stay at Hongkong for almost 1 month, I don't remember too much.. wanna visit there again.

1999/2000 or 2000/2001 oh.. i cannot remember it anymore... I went to Bali with my friendz. We had a great time. We drove from Jakarta to Bali and it tooks us about 2 dayz.
We quite relax at that time so tooks so much time. Actually you can only take 1 day by car from jakarta to there.
Bali really is a paradise. We had our old and new party in there and passed the year on the beach.
It should be a romantic moment but we were assleep at that time on the beach Zzzz. Phew- too sleepy :p

2000 My first trip to Japan. I joined a homestay program in Urayasu City. This program made me go back to Japan again ;)

2002 I joined a tour with my parents to Seoul, Korea and Cheju Island, Korea.
It was a farewell tour with my parents since i have to study in Japan.

2002 I am in Japan now. These past 2 years I explored Tokyo, Kansai area, n Okinawa.

2003 My business trip to Taipei, Taiwan. Thanks to my boss for giving me 2 days to explore Taipei during weekends.

2004 April - May, got many valuable tips from VT for my Holland, Brussels & Paris trip. Thanks guys!!

I just started my scuba diving debut last year (Aug 2006) and so crazy for it. I think for this moment my travel trip will take diving as the purpose ^^;

    "Insha'Buddha"... haha! I like that... but that's the beauty of Buddhism: there is no such thing as a "fanatic buddhist" :-)))

    You are welcome Rita :-) Yes from there you can get to everywhere via public transport which is cheap or taxi!! The good thing is one would save a lot on accommodation expenses. Good luck.

Share your travels with the world!
