[Miscellaneous] Holiday Diary II: Sorong [English & Bahasa Indonesia]

11:35 PM Posted by Floiresan No comments
Hi, Lovely! ♥
I know it's too long to wait my 2nd part post of my holiday. Seriously, I have so many pending posts and I don't know which post should be posted first. EWH blame my laziness.

So, ya, this is a new post to continue my first holiday diary and it's on Sorong, West Papua.

Hallo, Lovely! ♥
Gue tau rasanya kelamaan banget update bagian kedua nya liburan. Aduh sumpah yang numpuk post nya mah banyak sampe ga tau mana yang harus di dahuluin. Males nya ga ketolongan erh salahkan rasa malas ini.

Ok jadi ini post lanjutan dari post liburan pertama ku dan ini di Sorong, Papua Barat.


I'm pretty sure that many Indonesians haven't come there but have been in another countries like Singapore or Malaysia. Well, I was the one! LOL. I had to reach there to get closer to Raja Ampat.

Gue cukup yakin kalo banyak banget orang Indonesia belum pernah kesini tapi malah uda liburan ke Singapura atau Malaysia. Ya, gue juga sih hahaha dan gue kesini DEMI bisa ke Raja Ampat.

We were in there for 4 days 3 nights. It was on my day 2-3 and 6-7. It was separated because we were going to Waisai, Raja Ampat in day 4 to 5.

Here, let's talk about Sorong in my perspective:

Kita disana selama 4 hari dan 3 malam dan itu pada hari ke 2-3 dan 6-7. Kok kebagi? Jelas karena di hari ke 4-5 nya aku di Waisai, Raja Ampat :P

Day 1: Fly to Makassar - Hari ke-1: Terbang ke Makassar

Day 2 and Day 3: Sorong - Hari ke-2 dan ke-3: Sorong

As if you figure it out, we got connecting flight from Jakarta to Sorong via Makassar. Yes, we continued our flight at 6 A.M to Sorong with same airlines but different plane ._. It's tinnier and it has less seats. It is Bombardier one and I heard this plane is used for a shorter route and less crowded. I was amazed with this "tinny" plane coz I'd never been in that kinda plane before. It could bring less than 100 people so you can imagine how tiny it is.

Seperti yang uda di helaskan, kita pergi ke Sorong dengan penerbangan lanjutan melalui Makassar. Lanjutnya jam 6 pagi dengan maskapai yang sama tapi pesawat nya beda, Sumpah beda karena pesawatnya bukan boeing atau airbus tapi Bombardier. Pesawatnya kecil dan lebih sedikit bangku nya. Katanya sih Bombardier itu buat penerbangan yang rute nya pendek dan ga terlalu rame. jumlah bangku nya? Di bawah 100 bangku. 


And we arrived Dominique Edward Osok Airport.
Dan akhirnya kita sampai di airport Dominique Edward Osok.


I didn't see it coming. I was pretty surprised that the airport isn't huge and it has less modern system. I don't wanna be rude but it looks like a mayor office. I don't like to call it old-fashioned. I wish Sorong will be well developed sooner. They need to consider and build this city more!

It's not really hard to find rent cars here but they'd like to put a high rate, So, if you book a hotel, please make sure you find the pickup service. If they can't help, you may ask them the average rate to rent cars. You'll hard to find public transportation from airport to the city because yeah, they don't provide it. There are mostly private vehicles turn into public like ojek xD.

And we started to explore city by going to Tembok Berlin Beach. You can find lousy places to relax like small cafe outlets and seafood street food. However, the price is so damn high. It might be higher than it should be. The quality is just okay. So please, you ASK before you decide to eat there.

Ga nyangka, cukup kaget sih lihat keadaan airport nya karena ga gede dan sistem nya ga gitu modern. Bukan maksudnya ngerendahin tapi malah kayak kantor walikota gitu. Gue harep Sorong bisa berkembang jadi lebih modern secepatnya karena harus banget di beri pembangunan yang lebih baik.

Disini ga terlalu susah sewa mobil tapi harga nya mahal mahal. Jadi kalo kamu book hotel, pastiin ada pelayanan di jemput dari bandara. Kalau misal nya ga ketemu/ga ada, boleh tanya orang sekitaran hotel harga rata rata sewa nya biar ga di ketok. Bakal susah cari transportasi umum. Ada sih angkot tapi ya susah juga. Kebanyakkan nemunya kendaraan pribadi yang dijadikan transportasi umum, sejenis ojek XD

Dan kita memulai berpetualang dengan pergi ke Pantai Tembok Berlin. Kalian bisa nemu tempat yang, ya cukup kotor, buat ngadem kayak warung kopi kecil-kecilan sama seafood emperan. Tapi, harga nya mahal. Mahalnya sih bisa dibilang kebangetan. Kualitas nya ya oke doang gitu. Jadi, tanya dulu sebelum makan disana ya.





When something beautiful is covered by dust.

Here's what we have done for 2 days, Nothing special beside going to the beaches and had sightseeing.

Ketika sesuatu yang indah tertutup dengan debu.

Jadi ini yang di lakuin selama dua hari. Cuman pergi pergi ke pantai dan lihat-lihat.




They have no spoon so they make their own spoon by coconut shell
Mereka ga punya sendok jadi mereka bikin sendiri dengan batok kelapa

BEWARE: 
When we were there and sat on the bench, we were asked for "rent money" which is ridiculous. We didn't know and it was an old bench! We sat there to enjoy our coconuts. They said that we should pay for Rp. 50.000. It's not about the amount but there's no information about paying the rent. ERH. Moreover, we were asked for money but "those" people didn't ask money to others. Weird!

HATI-HATI:
Ketika kita disana dan duduk di bangku, kita disuruh bayar uang sewa bangku. Please, itu konyol soalnya itu kan ga sepengetahuan kita (bahkan ga ada tulisan nya) dan itu pun bangku tua. Kita disana duduk juga cuman nikmatin kelapa saja dan kita harus bayar itu sebesar Rp. 50.000. Bukan nominalnya sih tapi masalahnya aja ga di kasih tahu kita harus bayar biaya sewa. Kan ERH banget. Uda itu kita di mintain tapi yang lain kaga. MEH!

Then we continued our trip to Waisai, Raja Ampat. We reached there by fast ferry. It costs about Rp. 130.000 (US$10). This is how it looks:

Kemudian  kita lanjutkan perjalanan kita ke Waisai, Raja Ampat. Kita kesana dengan kapal ferry cepat dan harga nya sekitaran Rp. 130.000. Kurang lebih kayak gini kapalnya.


So comfy with TV and AC in it. By the way, this is economy class one xD  

Day 4 and 5: Waisai, Raja Ampat

Day 6 and 7: Sorong II
After we had spending 2 amazing days in Raja Ampat, we were going back to Sorong. All we did in a day was lazing around in the hotel. XD

And our last day is about going to see the town. Feel the peace and simple life!

Setelah menghabiskan dua hari yang indah di Raja Ampat, kita balik ke Sorong. Yang kita lakukan cuman bermalas-malas an seharian XD

Dan hari terakhir kita adalah mengitari kota. Berasa tenang dan hidup simpel banget!

These are scenic views from Buddha Jayanti Temple and Sapta Ratna Pagoda.

Ini pemandangan dari Vihara Buddha Jayanti dan Pagoda Sapta Ratna.







And Klamalu dam.

Dan bendungan Klamalu


You can find this pool close to the dam. The water is kinda polluted. I wish they would concern about the water they used.

Kalian bisa ketemu kolam ini dekat bendungan. Air nya cukup kotor. Aku harap mereka bisa lebih peduli dengan air yang mereka pakai.



I don't know how this beautiful place is underrated. But I wish people wouldn't recognize it and come to destruct the view :/ They would come to enjoy the view and love nature.

Aku tidak tahu kenapa tempat seindah ini malah kurang terkenal. Tapi aku harap orang tidak mengenal tempat ini untuk merusak lingkungan nya. Mereka harus datang untuk menikmati pemandangan dan mencintai lingkungan.

Anyway, I would try to catch my time about Raja Ampat. Seriously..... I'm so slow to update LOL.

Thank you for reading, Lovely!

Ngomong-ngomong, aku bakal berusaha kumpulin waktu buat tulis tentang Raja Ampat. Seriusan.. Saya ini lambat banget update nya. Lol Tapi terima kasih ya uda baca blog ku!
