Tips Going Abroad for the first time

Agak telat si bikin ini posting...

Well,,,this is like a miracle, March 27, 2010, for the first time I was abroaadd!!

and due to Super Junior,,,hahaha.. Yes, indeed, I went abroad for the first time, alone, just to watch Suju's Concert.. OMO!!



But, of course it's a bless from God, Alhamdulillah, coz from Him, I knew Laila, a colleague of mine in Kuala Lumpur, she's the one who accompanying me at the first day till before the concert,,,



ok, so basically, i just want to share the tips for all of you who wants to go abroad and perhaps alone or with ur friends but they never go abroad also..ehhee and after that i'll share a bit about Sushow 2 in Malay ;p (in different posting)

So, prepare these things when u're going abroad:
1. Passport (of course lah ya): similiar to international identity (KTP kalo di Indonesia) nah, cara buatnya? datang aja ke imigrasi bawa KK, Ijazah, surat keterangan kerja dari kantor, akta lahir (lengkapnya bisa dicek d web yaa), trus nanti dfoto and d wawancara sbentar (mau kemana, yah bout ur identity)
2. NPWP (nomor pokok wajib pajak - tax identification number), tapi katanya 2011 udah g perlu NPWP ko, means, u wont have to pay Fiscal Charges..yipppiee,,but be careful with ur goddies yaa, akan ada pajak oleh-oleh katanya..haia
3. Flight Tickets and Hotel booking confirmation (if you already booked)

Nanti kalo udah ke bandara, check in, show ur passport, and pay airport tax and u'll be given boarding pass and 2 forms (arrival n departure): fill in and keep safely under ur passport
After that, go to tax counter, and show ur tix,boarding pass, passport and NPWP, to claim for fiscall free,,
and enter the gate, go to immigration board and give the doc mentioned above (here ur departure form will be taken by the immigration) and ur passport will be marked: Indonesia Immigration something
Rest, are the same with local destination,,and u ready to go abroad..=))

Sampe sana, ketemu imigrasi lagi d, tunjukin dokumen yang sama, trus pasport mu dicap juga,,and WELCOME to abroad

yang pasti bikin gw amazed pertama kali adalah: AIRPORT..

KLIA, Changi, are the example of 'complicated' airport,,
and I always love the feeling after u arrived and walk down from the plane...aahh,, the air so refreshing =))

Tips lain yang penting:
1. Bawa Map kemana pun kamu pergi, kalo di luar negeri enaknya map ada di bandara2, tapi g ada salahnya siapin, tinggal download di internet ko..
2. Siapin Uang receh mata uang sana, tuker dari sini aja, buat siap2 (transportation purpose)
3. Enak kalo punya kartu kredit buat jaga2, uang abis ato g ada money changer n tentunya bisa dipake dimana aja
4. oya, kalo di asean bebas visa (atau visa on arrival) di luar itu, urus visa k masing kedubes yaaa (jauh2 hari lebih baik)
5. Perhatiin cuaca negara yg mau didatengin
6. Bagusnya siapin tempat2 yg mau didaatengin dari jauh2, cari info, kesana kalo pae publik transportation gimana..jd disana bisa maksimal, apalgi kalo weekends doank, ehehehh
7. kalo muslim, pas liat makanan, tanya aja, halal atau ga..

sampai sini dulu =)


Semoga berguna
