Short (yet Sweet) Escape to Copenhagen

One of the good things of living in Lund is the fact that this city is so close from Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. So whenever you feel the urge to experience something more vibrant, you can easily hop on the Öresund train and be in Copenhagen in just 35 minutes.

And that’s basically what we do every time Lund is getting too quiet because of the summer break 😄

Copenhagen itself is an international hub, so it’s dynamic, modern and has plenty to offer. Here is the list of the things to do and see in Copenhagen metropolitan area based on my personal experience. Continue reading →

A Day at IKEA Museum

This week is Sportlov in Sweden. A week long break from school to give the kids and their family time to do winter sports like ski, skating and so on. At first, we were thinking to go for a ski in this year’s sportlov, but given the fact that Baby K is still so little, we decided to do something more baby friendly 😀 . The idea is to have a day trip within Sweden, to a place we’ve never been before, which is easy to be accessed by public transport. Having look at things here and there, we then decided to go to IKEA Museum, a relatively new museum located in Älmhult, Kronoberg county, one hour away by train from Lund.

We took the Öresundtåg with destination to Kalmar C and got off at Älmhult Station (the fifth stop from Lund C). It was gloomy and rainy when we arrived. Not a perfect day to have a trip. Luckily, IKEA Museum is just a stroll away from the station. So we don’t need to be outside for too long. Continue reading →

Jakarta (CGK)-Copenhagen (CPH), enaknya naik apa?
Sejak pindah ke Swedia dan beberapa kali menempuh rute CGK-CPH dengan bergonta-ganti maskapai, sejumlah kawan meminta saya mereview rute dan maskapai-maskapai tersebut. Sejujurnya, saya (atau kami lebih tepatnya), tidak punya preferensi khusus dalam memilih maskapai. Hanya tiga hal yang selama ini kami jadikan acuan:
- Satu kali transit (karena lebih dari itu terlalu rempong buat kami yang bawa anak)
- Terjangkau harganya (makanya yang saya review ini semuanya kelas Ekonomi yaaaa 😄 )
dan,
- Tidak punya record yang terlalu parah (karena maskapai yang sempurna itu tidak ada saudara-saudara)

A Week in Lisbon, Portugal

To be honest, Lisbon had never been on my bucket list. It never crossed my mind to visit this capital city of Portugal before. I mean, I don’t have any special memory or obsession with the city (unlike what I have with Milan, Venice or Amsterdam 😄 ). So when Zaki told me that he’s going to present his research finding in a conference in Portugal, and he wanted me to come with him, I didn’t have specific expectation. I didn’t even make a detailed itinerary like usual. My plans were just to enjoy the summer sun, relax and maybe explore a little bit.

Just landed!

The journey wasn’t started really well. There was a train disruption in some areas in Skåne so it was difficult to get to the Copenhagen airport. Luckily our landlord drove us to the closest station from the airport (Malmö Hyllie Station). Continue reading →

Oslo at a Glance: Things You Might Want to Know about Oslo

Last Tuesday, we went to Oslo and spent two nights in the capital city of Norway. The idea was to have a workcation: half work, half vacation, as both me and Zaki had deadlines approaching really soon that time. We’d never been to Oslo before and we heard that the city is worth a visit. It’s compact, beautiful and has plenty to offer. So after considering this and that, we decided to pick Oslo as our Easter break destination.

We went there by SJ train from Lund central station at 8.22 in the morning. Traveling by train is always my favourite since it gives me time to relax and to work along the way. Haha. Also, it creates less hassle as we don’t need to do check in, immigration clearance, and so on. The journey took around 8 hours with a short transit in Katrineholm. It was almost 5 pm when we arrived at Oslo Sentralstasjon.

Velkommen til Oslo
