Simple Review of Asiana Airlines Jakarta - Seoul

Hai Everyone..

It's been a while since the last i post about my trip. Today i'd like to share with you my experience flying with Asiana Airlines. I have my flight on 14 November 2014 from Jakarta Soekarno Hatta Airport to Seoul Incheon Airport. I am using the OZ 762 and i fly at about 23.50 , it takes around 6 hours to arrived at Seoul. I am quiet excited about this trip, as i am a girl who loves Korea that much, and being able to fly to my dream country with one of their airlines is one of my dream come true.

So let's start the experience, once we called to enter to the airlines, there are 2 flight attendant lady welcoming us at the entrance. Then  i find my seat. For your information i am using a economy class and the seat figure is 2-4-2. I got the 21F seat which is on the aisle. The seat is quiet comfortable, it has a wide space between you and your front seat. When i arrived to the seat, i find there are pillow and blanket. The pillow quiet fluffy and the blanket was really warm. It comes in red color.

The fluffy pillow and the blanket wchich still in the packaging

Each seat at this aircraft has it's own touch screen which contain some entertainment such as movies, reality show, and music, also travel information. As i remember they got Hunger Games The Catching Fire, Rise of The Planet of the Apes, Way Back Home (korean really sad movie) on the movie list. But there is so much more for you to choose. They got Superman Return, 2 Days one Night on the short movie list. But one more time the title that i told here was just some example. They got so many entertainment for you to enjoy. Also there are children's section. For the Korean movie they don't have any subtitle on it :( 

The touch screen contain so many thing that make long haul flight ain't scary at all

As the plane was about to boarding as usual flight attendant will check on your seat belts, and then as they've reached the save altitude which the seat belt sign off, the flight attendant will changed their clothes with apron, The're using red apron every time they serve something. After some announcement then comes the welcome drink also the snack. 

There are choices of juice, water, wine, just as usual flight drink

They gave us this ham sandwich for the late night snack, taste quiet good 

Then i'm strolling the night by watching some movies I saw the flight attendant walk through the aisle to serve the passenger call. o be honest i told you that Asiana Airlines flight attendant was so kind and nice. They're never forget to smile whenever serving us something. Even i have to say that their ability on speaking english is average but they're super nice anyway.

The breakfast served around 2 hours before landing, they have choice of sausages and omelet of chicken porridge. I'm choosing sausages with omelet. This is how it look :)

I have to say that among all airlines ive been flying with, Singapore Airlines food still the best. The omelet in Asiana Airlines was a bit too dry also the potato tasteless. But the sausages was good. The omelet i have on Singapore  Airlines was so good and juicy as well as the sausages and potato.
When the flight attendant clearing the meal tray they ask us any drink of our choices. Then it's time for landing. The picture below is the bibimbap which i have on my return flight Seoul - Jakarta. They're having us snack as well just the same as when we go to Seoul.

Well my conclusion is i'm pleased by the service given by Asiana Airlines. Even if the food wasn't that good but the service was really great. I have to say that they've got the SQ class for the service. Thank you for reading and please visit my blog in other time.

Pujing Garden Hotel HangZhou China

 Hai everyone, nice to meet you..

On this post i'd like to share with you about one of this hotel in China, located at HangZhou. Yes. This is one of the hotel i stayed during my trip to China with AVIA TOUR INDONESIA . So let me get you the hotel location and contact number first.

PUJING GARDEN HOTEL HANGZHOU CHINA

133 Houren Road (Houren Lu), Sandun Town, Hangzhou, China
Phone : +86 571 888 55008
Fax : +86 571 810 21576

My first thought on this hotel was really good, comfortable, and homey. It has that luxury design on the lobby as well as the room you'll stay in. There is a road beside the hotel where there are so many street vendors and you can enjoy authentic chinese street food there. Unfortunately i was arrived there a bit too late, and we have to wake up really early in the morning tomorrow so i don't have the chance to try the street food. After our tour leader did the check in process, then we were given our room card and then do straight to the elevator.

I don't exactly know what kind of room we get, but i believe we've got the bigger room size as we have an extra bed request. The room is really comfortable, we have the street vendor view. The bathroom is separated with the toilet. So it has a shower room and a toilet room. The floor cover by carpet and, we have a good time enjoying this hotel. Well i think that's all for this post. I'll attach some of the picture of my room :) Thank you for reading and please visit my blog in other time.

Pengalaman Jalan Jalan dengan AVIA TOUR INDONESIA

Hai semua, hari ini saya akan share pendapat saya tentang perjalanan saya dengan Avia Tour Indonesia. Sebelumnya akan saya informasikan bahwa pendapat ini adalah pendapat pribadi saya tanpa ada sponsor apapun dari pihak Avia Tour. Saya hanya ingin berbagi pengalaman dengan pembaca sekalian jika kalian ingin berpergian dengan tour di liburan berikutnya.




Tujuan liburan saya kali ini adalah ke China dan ini merupakan kali pertama saya ke China, sekaligus juga kali pertama saya menggunakan jasa tour agency. Saya mulai mencari paket paket tour dari bulan Mei, tips untuk kalian yang ingin berpergian di bulan high season ( lebaran, natal, tahun baru, liburan sekolah) sebaiknya mulai rencanakan dan cari paket tour kurang lebih 2 atau 3 bulan sebelumnya. Saya ingin berangkat tanggal 25 July, namun ketika saya menelepon beberapa tour agency kebanyakan sudah penuh dan yang tersedia hanya tanggal 23 July atau mundur ke 29 July dan 1 Agustus. Saya berpergian dengan keluarga besar beranggotakan 10 orang dan 1 bayi, memang agak sulit jika berpergian dengan keluarga besar mengingat jumlah yang banyak maka dari itu sebaiknya direncanakan 2 atau 3 bulan sebelum keberangkatan.

Setelah mencari lagi ternyata saya dapat di Avia Tour tanggal 26 July. Meskipun molor 1 hari namun kami merasa paket ini paling cocok untuk kami. Paket yang kami ikuti adalah China Highlight by SQ selama 10 hari 8 malam. Beberapa kota yang kami kunjungi antara lain Beijing, Hangzhou, Huangshan, WuZhen, SuZhou, ShangHai. Dalam kepergian kami terdapat 7 kali kunjungan ke toko pemerintah yang wajib yaitu foot massage, baoshu tang, jade, tea, silk, bamboo carbon, dan jewelry). Kami menggunakan pesawat Singapore Airlines. Harga yang kami keluarkan kurang lebih $ 1935 untuk biaya tour dan airport tax international plus Rp 725.000 untuk biaya pembuatan visa dan airport tax Indonesia. Harga tersebut diluar tipping untuk tour guide yang diberikan kepada tour leader di akhir acara. Ketika saya tanyakan, standard Avia Tour sendiri $7-$8 orang per orang dan dihitung per hari. Anda tidak perlu khawatir karena di akhir acara Tour leader akan memberikan rincian tipping yang harus diberikan. Jika anda merasa puas dengan pelayanan mereka anda boleh menambahkan tipping tersebut.

Berbicara mengenai pelayanan, saya merasa pelayanan di Avia Tour cukup memuaskan. Saya mengurus perjalanan saya sekeluarga di Avia Tour cabang Central Park dengan Kak Muti. Dari awal kami berkunjung untuk bertanya tanya beliau memberikan penjelasan yang jelas. Untuk informasi kami membawa 2 kursi roda dan 1 stroller bayi, hal tersebut juga kami sampaikan dan kami juga diberikan penjelasan bahwa memang tour guide yang ikut hanya 1 orang jadi tetap harus ada dari keluarga kami yang bantu mendorong, dan memang ada beberapa jalanan yang sulit dilalui kursi roda sehingga harus berjalan. Kami tidak masalah dengan itu. Lalu kami pun mebayar DP tanda jadi.

Dari situ pelayanan Avia Tour pun saya rasa cukup memuaskan, mereka tetap keep in touch dengan kami untuk mengumpulkan berkas berkas, selain itu juga mereka menanyakan apakah kursi roda di airport mau menggunakan milik airport atau punya kami sendiri. Sebelum saya ikut Avia Tour, saya sempat membaca beberapa review bahwa ada beberapa perusahaan tour yang jarang menghubungi customernya atau dalam arti lain, customernya sendiri yang harus mencari cari pihak tour tersebut untuk menanyakan kabar perjalanan atau berkas berkas mereka yang harus dilengkapi. Komunikasi Avia Tour dengan pelanggan cukup baik saya rasa. 4 hari sebelum keberangkatan pihak Avia Tour mengirimkan saya email yang berisi hal hal yang berlu diperhatikan selama berkunjung di China, daftar hotel, serta final ittinerary. Selain itu tour leader yang bernama Kennedy juga menghubungi untuk menginfokan tempat berkumpul di bandara serta menanyakan apakah kita mempunyai kebutuhan khusus atau pantangan makanan.  

Tiba di hari keberangkatan sesampainya di Bandara sudah ada pihak Avia yang menyambut kami, membawakan troley untuk koper kami dan kami diantar ke meeting point. Setelah itu kami bertemu dengan Kennedy, lalu kami dibagikan paspor, dan tiket check in, setelah itu kami menuju counter imigrasi (sangat ramai disaat high season), lalu menunggu di gate keberangkatan. Selama kepergian kami di China, Kennedy yaitu tour leader kami pun saya rasa sangat membantu keluarga kami dengan 2 kursi roda dan stroller. selain itu ketika keluar masuk koper pun ia membantu mengangkatkan koper. Selain itu dia tidak lupa selalu menghitung keberadaan anggota tour sebanyak 25 orang dan 1 bayi. Ketika sampai di hotel juga beliau selalu memastikan ke setiap kamar bahwa kamar kami tidak bermasalah. Overall saya sangat puas dengan pelayanan yang diberikan tour leader kami.

Untuk akomodasi, hotel yang dipilih Avia Tour selama perjalanan kami semua memuaskan, nyaman, dan bersih. Hotel yang dipilih Avia Tour berstandard bintang 4. Beberapa hotel selama saya menginap akan saya review di post selanjutnya. Tour leader yang dipilih pun cukup berpengalaman dan tahu betul tentang China. Setiap hari kami diberikan 1 botol air mineral. Kalau untuk makanan, memang mungkin rasa dari makanan di China sendiri sedikit hambar sehingga kalau untuk makanan saya tetap memilih makanan Indonesia. Kennedy juga tidak lupa selalu menawarkan saos sambal dan saos terasi untuk kita setiap acara makan. Pembagian waktu selama acara berlangsung juga sangat baik. Di hari terakhir acara kami akan dibagikan questionare atau angket yang kami isi seputar pelayanan tour leader dan tour guide local kami. Ketika kami pulang, sehari kemudian pihak Avia Tour langsung menghubungi kami untuk menanyakan secara keseluruhan tentang perjalanan kami, apakah kami puas atau kami punya keluhan yang ingin disampaikan. Secara keseluruhan saya rasa saya akan mempercayakan perjalanan saya berikutnya ke Avia Tour lagi. Terima kasih Avia Tour.

Summer Vacation to China

Hai everyone, i'm back here after a long time since my introduction post has been out. So nice to have you guys again here. On this post i would like to share about my trip to China on summer holiday 2014. So i went to China from July 26th to August 4th 2014. It was summer there. China is one of the country which is well known for it's high populated people, yet they are very good at doing business.

I was one of the descendants of china, which is called as Chinese Indonesian or Chindo in Indonesia. Back then, my great grand father was live there exactly at Anhui Province. Anhui Province is located near Huangshan if i'm not mistaken ( please do correct me if i'm wrong). I've never been to China before so this is my first trip and i get excited about it. I was travelling along with my family and my uncle family and we use the tour service agent from AVIA TOUR Indonesia ( PS : I'll post about this on my next post). 

I've never been to any other country which have 4 seasons. I heard that 4 seasons country get so much warmer during their summer time. Back in Indonesia we only have 2 seasons so i really think that the sun in China will be just as bearable as Indonesia's sun. But to tell you the truth, i really can't bear China's sun. It was about 38 - 40 degree celcius when we're there. Especially that i'm more to the mountain girl rather that beach girl kind a person, so China's sun was just really not my friend and i  get mood swing there (A LOT). Also i'm having bad chapped lips all the time there eventhough i already put tons of lipbalm. Let me tell you, the sun at China was like 3 times hot-ter than in Jakarta. If you love beach's sun, sun kissed skin, salty hair (maybe in China because you're sweating LOL) well going to China won't be a problem for you. But if you're more like me the sun avoider don't dare to go to China on summer as it will kill your mood slowly. The right time for you to go to China is around April when it's spring time because they're having so many flowers and garden there and it'll be very pretty that time. 

China is a very nice country, they changed a lot ever since the olympic games 2008 took place there. I love how well organized the road in China was, how they really have the good technology, their public transport (i have no chance on trying this, but you can see it for real if you go to China).
Here is some of the city which i visit during my trip to China : Beijing, HangZhou, HuangShan, WuZhen, SuZhou, Shanghai. Perhaps i'll share some of the city up there on my next next next post, you can coment down below which city you want me to tell you. Overall China is a very nice country to visit, a lot of unique history, tradition, and shops. Thank you for reading :)
