turn 30 and not married (yet!)

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

Haha! I have long wanted to perpetuate this unique tradition. But just a few weeks ago accomplished.  
So here goes the story, if a young German boy aged 30 years and unmarried, there is a unique tradition by wearing a costume like a suit. This man should sweep hundreds of bottle caps that deliberately dissipated at the front door of the church. This tradition is said to have lasted a long time and not only in Bremen, but in most cities in Germany.
So enjoy the pictures!

Classical music concert live, first ever!

Thursday, April 1, 2010

Well, finally this night (01/04/2010) I watched live classical music concert at Die Glocke, with friends who are studying in Bremen. Since this is the first time for me, I asked and searched what is the ethic when watching a concert of classical music, if its allowed to bring food, what about camera, and there are still many others "stupid" questions.

Classical music concert was completed by the Europa Chor Akademie. How wonderful, I could listen to the harmonization of the violin, flute, and various other orchestra musical instruments, as well as soprano, alto tenor bass voice and the compactness of the choir, directly. Ticket prices range from 7 EURO (students like me) to 40 euros.

ISIC, your student passport to the world

Tuesday, March 16, 2010


Yup, that's the motto of the ISIC = International Student Identity Card. Finally, yesterday I was able to get  it  with a cost of 12 EURO, at the Asta Uni-Bremen. Requirements are very easy, just need a 3x4 passport photo and show a valid student card and imatrikulasi numbers, and also passport. ISIC is especially for full-time students. ISIC published per academic year, with a validity period of 16 months from September until December the following year. Now I have a valid ISIC until December 2010.

Bremer Karneval 2010

Saturday, February 6, 2010


Again, this year (06.02.2010) I experienced Bremer Carnival for the second times. Struggle with the cold weather around zero, I took some photograph. Different with Last year's motto “Rot” or all about red, the motto of this year “Land Unter” is derived from associations around the precious element of water. It appears to us in colorful, mysterious underwater worlds, in fabulous water forms in the fabled city of Atlantis, in riveting stories of sunken treasure ships, or the giants of the sea.

Mitfahrgelegenheit = setiket tanpa kenal!

Monday, October 5, 2009

8edaa109c2Situs ini memfasilitasi para traveler atau pengguna transportasi di Jerman. Karena disini banyak sekali fasilitas untuk bisa pergi bareng dengan hanya satu tiket (umumnya berlima), maka orang-orang yang belum cukup anggotanya, dalam rangka mengirit ongkos, maka mereka menawarkan jalan bareng dengan tiket tersebut.

Di situs ini, diberikan informasi siapa yang aja yang memberikan ajakan, tujuan kemana, jam berapa, ketemuan dimana, dan tentunya akan patungan harga tiket berapa. Misalnya saja, menggunakan Nierdersachsen ticket (salah satu tiket regional di jerman), maka biasanya mereka akan berbagi 5 atau 6 EUR, karna harga tiket utuh 28 EUR. Sangat menghemat kan.

Nah saya punya cerita nih, kemarin dalam rangka menjemput anak dan istri, saya mencoba fasilitas ini, dan mengunjungi www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de. Untuk saya sih masih ‘gratis’ karna sudah punya semester ticket dari universitas. Saya masuk ke situs tersebut, dan mendapati daftar orang-orang yang menawarkan tiketnya, sesuai dengan jadwal perjalanan yang saya inginkan. Akhirnya, saya dapat satu orang yang menawarkan 6 EUR per orang dari stasiun besar Hamburg ke stasiun besar Bremen, jam 16.15, dan meeting pointya di Burger King. Perfect!

Tapi, pas saya sudah di bandara Hamburg, tiba-tiba saya dapat sms dari orang yg punya tiket, katanya dia kecelakaan, jadi tiketnya dikasi ke orang, wahhh jadi mikir, bakal gak jadi menghemat nih. Akhirnya, pas nyampe di stasiun Hamburg, tanpa pikir-pikir lagi, menuju ke mesin tiket untuk membeli tiket seharga 20,80 EUR.

Tapi untungnya, ternyata ada orang yg menunggu disana, dan langsung nembak nanya ke saya, apa akan ke Bremen, ternyata dia mau ngajakin ‘mitfahr’. Dia langsung bilang 6 EUR per orang dan dia baru dua orang, wah pas banget! Saya langsung ok-in. Sambil nunggu kereta datang, saya bilang mau bayar sekarang, katanya nanti aja di dalam kereta. Ok, setelah di dalam kereta karna gak punya receh 6 EUR, saya kasihlah pecahan 10 EUR, tapi dia gak langsung kasi kembalian 4 EUR, saya pikir mungkin nanti bakal dikasi. karna saya dan istri ribet dengan barang bawaan pas nyampe stasiun Bremen, maka di dalam hati saya pikir, nanti aja pas di luar mintanya, saya percaya banget sama orang Jerman. Tapiii, ternyata oh ternyata, si ibu dan anaknya ini, langsung kabur, meski saya mencoba mengejar, setelah meletakkan barang2.. Jadinya, 4 EUR ku lenyap dah. Yah, tapi gak papalah, anggap sebagai pelajaran, jangan ragu-ragu dan terlalu percaya sama orang.. ;(

Kanu Schuehe!

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

We went to the Wuemme River on 18 August 2009, a border between Bremen and Niedersachsen, to get Canoeing. This was to celebrate retirement of Prof. Blohm. We all member of Blohm’s Laboratory were invited. We rented three boats for 10 peoples. It took four hours go and back. It is good exercise indeed :).
