Ketika menerima kabar akan mendapat teaching assigment 1 minggu di Sri Lanka, kata Tamil Tiger langsung terlintas di benak saya. Ada rasa khawatir terhadap kondisi keamanan di negara pulau ini, apalagi seminggu sebelumnya kelompok Tamil Tiger kembali menyerang Colombo airport menggunakan single engine airplane. Tapi penasaran juga rasanya, seperti apa rasanya mengunjungi negara yang sedang rawan konflik? Apalagi selama di Jakarta sudah terbiasa dengan isu bom, pencopet di bus kota, dan preman Senen, jadi saya pikir akan aman nyaman saja di Colombo 
.
Penerbangan 3.5 jam Singapore - Colombo terasa cepat, maklum pakai SQ. Biasanya langganan airasia atau jetstar, atau paling mentok Garuda kalau dibayari kantor. Film di pesawat Letter of Iwo Jima (Ken Watanabe), plus ngantri pipis ke kamar mandi, plus baca 10 halaman buku “The Art of Intrusion” (Kevin Mitnick), tak terasa sampai di Colombo.

Do you want to explore Bali island with all of the magic attractions at a lower price? I can recommend you with the best choice. Contact Komang, the owner of Baliguide.biz. This is not a big travel agent company. He runs his own business, as his own boss.

Starting with one Isuzu Panther, he provided Bali touring service. He event drives the car by himself until now. Something he name it as a personalized service

What will you do, if You just arrive with the 1st flight at 7.30 am and feel deeply hungry? Search for fun breakfast with the cheapest price . I did it at Yogya last week, before speaking at Data Mining seminar. Go “SGPC Bu Wiryo”, the famous place with low cost money. SGPC stands for “sego pecel”, a traditional javanese food that made from steamed rice, vegetables, and peanut bean sauce. It can be added with egg and “tempe” if you like
I like Yogya atmosphere, and this SGPC also. There was a group of singers play “kroncong” free of charge . If you wanna try this, go to Jl Selokan Mataram, around Gadjah Mada Univ. Campus.

Akhir bulan January 2006 lalu, saya berkesempatan menelusuri jalur Pantura dalam perjalanan pulang kampung. Bersama rekan saya Kunarto, mengendarai mobil di jalur pantura ternyata bukan ide yang baik di pertengahan musim hujan. Jalanan macet penuh lubang, menjadi perangkap berbahaya untuk mobil-mobil sedang dan besar. Macet 4 jam di jalur Indramayu sudah merupakan pemandangan biasa karena kondisi jalan yang sangat jelek dan cenderung terbengkalai. Untunglah ada Warung Makan Sea Food AsSyafiq. Kami mencoba mampir dan ternyata mendapatkan oase yang sangat menyejukkan di restoran ini. Siapa saja yang melewati jalur pantura bersama rekan dan keluarga sebaiknya tidak melewatkan restoran yang asri, sejuk, dengan pemandangan alami laut utara di halaman belakang.
