Getting an Indonesian Passport (Mengurus Sendiri) Part 2.

Yesterday I talked about my first visit to Kanim Jak Sel to get a new passport. I submitted the required documents and so far it cost me Rp. 100.000 for taxi and 5 hours of my time.



On my second visit, I decided to leave a little bit earlier. Jam 8 pagi saya sudah mengambil nomor antrian di Kanim. Sembilan puluh enam. Not too bad, I thought. Jam 10:30, nomor saya dipanggil untuk ke loket dan membayar biaya paspor. "Dua ratus lima puluh lima ribu, Mbak." kata petugas. "Pak, saya mau yang 24 lembar aja dong, nggak perlu yang 48 lembar." "Kalo mau jadi TKI baru boleh minta yang 24 lembar, Mbak" kata si Mas sambil nyengir lebar. Keluarlah Rp. 255.000 dari dompet saya.

Sekarang saya harus mengantri untuk foto dan wawancara, dan tinggal satu setengah jam sebelum jam makan siang pegawai. Nomor yang sedang dilayani waktu itu adalah nomor 60. Petugas piket yang bermaksud baik mengatakan, "Tunggu saja, Bu. Biasanya cepat kog. Saya rasa bisa masuk sebelum jam 12." Setengah jam berlalu, nomor antrian yang dilayani baru naik ke 65. Tapi....., kog satu jam berikutnya nomor ini tidak naik naik, ya?

Ternyata, disinilah agen agen mulai 'bermain'. Clients mereka dimasukkan melalui pintu belakang, sehingga orang yang menggunakan jasa agen bisa pulang sebelum jam makan siang. Kurang ajar! Bah! Ya sudah, isi perut dulu...

Petugas piket pertama yang saya tanyakan tentang tempat makan mengatakan bahwa tidak ada tempat makan di dalam gedung, hanya di gang samping gedung. Petugas piket kedua mengatakan ada kantin di basement. Turunlah saya ke basement tempat parkir untuk makan siang.

Tak disangka, jam satu kurang sedikit, petugas sudah kembali ke ruangannya dan memulai pelayanan lagi. Horeee! Dalam jangka waktu 30 menit,  nomor 66 sampai 100 sudah masuk ke dalam ruangan untuk difoto dan diwawancara. Bayangkan!

Jadi di kunjungan kedua, saya mengeluarkan Rp. 355.000 dan hampir 8 jam.

Total keseluruhan sampai dengan hari itu adalah Rp. 455.000 dan 13 jam. Amsiong! At least paspor sudah bisa diambil 4 hari setelah foto. To be continued lagi ya.....

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...
