Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls, and Friends

A lil souvenir from Java Batik

Here comes another crazily busy week for us!

I just got back from Moscow and during the weekend, we had the celebration of the 74th anniversary of my office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at Senayan, Jakarta.
It was fun and joyful, although it was super hot!
We had so many colorful booth selling traditional food, clothes, fabrics, handicrafts and more. I bought cute scarf from Java Batik, my dearest friend Mba Yogi, and ordered a special Miss Papua tunic from her. Can't wait!

Aren't they cute!

Work wise, we are down with preparation of UN Human Rights Council and UN General Assembly. I have to say it's tons of works and quite stressful but it's like a drill. Wish us luck!

WW: Festival of Lights, Jakarta, Indonesia

Welcome to the Festival of Lights in Jakarta

How do you like Festival of Lights?

I have just recently visited the Festival of Lights in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Held in Monumen Nasional or Monas, our National Monument in commemorating the 74th anniversary of Indonesia's independence, we took the kids out using online taxi and went to the Festival. For sure it was packed and we simply enjoyed the crowd.
And the shapes of the lights being displayed are interesting.
Let's check it out from my photos.

Monas in beautiful lights..

The national flag...

Happy Independence Day, Indonesia

Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the link party

Hello Moscow, I am Coming

Welcome to Moscow, Russia

The sky was blue.
You can see high-rise buildings and didn’t see it I’m honestly super sad eyes underground. We are here we are in Moscow. I smile as I recorded moments before we landed in Alaska from the capital city of Russian Federation.
One of my dreams comes through.

***

“We will be meeting with the Ministries on August 21st and be leaving the country on the 22nd evening. So, let’s get everything ready and keep in touch with the Embassy in Moscow.”
We just finished our regular meeting gearing up to all the activities and events scheduled for our office. I was beyond excited when I found out that I would visit Moscow, the Capital city of the Russian Federation. Although it's going to be an official working visit for two days, but I know I will at least be able to see the famous Red Square and Kremlin, and complete my collection of Matryoshka.

The famous Matryoskha

I remember almost 9 years ago, back in 2010, when we were about to visit this magnificent city. Known as one of the most beautiful capitals, Moscow has long been captivating our hearts for its beauty, history and more. We planned our journey meticulously in Geneve when suddenly we heard the news that bombs exploded in Moscow's famous subways. We cancelled the visit as we had young kids traveling with us. Since then, I haven't got a chance to visit or even plan to visit the city again. Now, in 2019, my dream comes true! This visit is truly like an answered prayer. 

We flew from Jakarta through Istanbul and reached Moscow the following day at 2 PM.

The weather was beautiful and it's just a lovely summer where people can comfortably go out just wearing t-shirt, short and sandals. Perfect for me as I don't have to bring too many jackets and stuff. 

As we landed in Vnukovo International Arport, I know the adventures start.

Anyway, what do you have in mind when you hear Moscow or Russia?

Tsar? KGB? Red Square? Kremlin? Putin? Borsch? 

Or all of them?

In my case, it's all of them!

As I have mentioned above, we were so ready to visit and explore Moscow before so I have spent sometimes reading and understanding the enigma and the rich history of this country. Moreover, while I was in New York City, one of my very best friends, Andre, was raised in Moscow and speaks Russians fluently. So we used to spend times in Veselka, the famous Russian - Ukrainian 24-hour cafe in Hell's Kitchen that becomes super famous after being one of the scenes for Ocean 12 (Go check it out!).

A view in Red Square

Come and watch my YouTube video welcoming myself to the heart of this iconic city.

Wait for more details and stories here as I'm coming back with more.

Welcome to Moscow, Russian Federation

Cheers from Moscow, Russian Federation!

As I have probably mentioned to you before, I am heading to Moscow, the capital city of the Russian Federation for series of meetings and dialogues with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
I have to say I am super excited as this will be my first time to visit this iconic city!

Our Embassy in Moscow, Russian Federation

So many plans I have in mind but obviously I will go with the flow as I'm here for work.I sincerely hope I will get to see the landmarks that make Moscow famous worldwide.

As I landed in Vnukovo International Airport, I practically enjoy the vastness and unique ambience of the city. You can tell I am beyond excited!

So, before I share more, let's join the weekly party we have here with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends.
