visa waiver at the Japanese


Yuhuu! I’m back again. So, before I start writing about the trip itself, let me, like usual, start with the preparation and budgeting stuff. There are several differences between my 2017 and 2015 Japan trip. What are those? So this time I already had an e-passport, so yes, I just had to make a visa waiver for free! A few weeks before I issued my visa waiver at the Japanese embassy, I just knew that right now you can no longer issued your visa there. If you have a usual passport, you must go to Japan Visa Application Centre located at Lotte Shopping Avenue to issue your visa, and other than the visa fee, there is also extra IDR 115,000 administration fee. So, yeah, having an e-passport is more profitable.

The second difference is, this time I bought JR pass, since I was planning to use the shinkansen here and there. Bought the 7 days pass at a travel fair for around IDR 3,300,000, and yeah, it was worth every single penny!

Third difference, this trip was a little bit shorter than the first one. I spend 10 nights in Japan, landed at KIX Airport (Osaka) and headed back from Haneda Airport (Tokyo).

Let’s head on to this important part, budgeting!
This will be a mix between IDR and JPY since I choose to pay the accomodation in cash at the place, so better take a good look.
Currency: JPY 1 = IDR 120

VisaIDR 0 (E-passport + Visa Waiver)

Flight:
Garuda Indonesia
CGK – KIX
HND – CGK
Total: IDR 4,600,000

Accomodation:
– OSAKA: Yadokari Namba Hostel
4 Beds Room, 2 Nights: JPY 32,400
Per Person : JPY 8,100
– KYOTO: K’s House Kyoto
Quadruple Room JPY 16,000
Per Person : JPY 4000
– TOKYO: Nine Hours Shinjuku-North
2 Pods in Female Room, 4 nights – JPY 24,000
Per Person : JPY 12,000
– TAKAYAMA: J-Hoppers Takayama
3 Beds, 1 Nights JPY 10,500
Per Person : JPY 3,500
– TOKYO: Best Hotel, Shin Okubo
Twin Room 2 nights
JPY 15,000 (3 persons)
Per Person : JPY 7,500
Total: JPY 35,100 (IDR 4,212,000)
Many asked, why didn’t I stay at an AirBNB, well it’s just a preference. I find hotels/hostels are more convenience in the way that I can drop my luggage before the check in time. But I think AirBNB is a good choice too considering budget.

Transportation:
JR PASS (7 Days): IDR 3,300,000 (it covers most of my transportation fee)
And since I bought the 7 Day Pass, I still had to pay for the rest of the transportation fee, and for around JPY 6,350 including
Namba Ocat Buss (From KIX): JPY 1,050
Kyoto Bus Pass: JPY 500
Bus to and from Hitachi Seaside Park from Katsuta Station: JPY 800
Total: IDR 4,062,000

Entry Tickets & else:
Tokyo Disneyland: IDR 900,000 (bought at HIS Travel Jakarta)
Hitachi Seaside Park: JPY 410
J-Hoppers Shirakawa Go Half Day Tour: JPY 3,900
B-Mobile Sim Card (5GB/21 Days): JPY 3,480
Total: IDR 1,834,000



Food:
This time, I did record my expenses for food and drinks (though I missed some), and the total amount I spend for food and drinks were around JPY 23,000 for 10 and a half days, just count it as an average of JPY 2300 per day.
Total: IDR 2,760,000

Total spending for 10 Days (not including shopping of course) IDR 17,468,000.
If you haven’t read my 2015 Japan trip budgeting, you can read it here to make a comparison.

If you wonder about the places I visited and the food I ate, please get excited for my upcoming posts. So planning for a trip to Japan, I hope this post and my previous and upcoming ones will help!

Perhitungan & Cara Merubah Kumparan Blender Dari 220 V Menjadi 12 V

          Seperti yang telah dijelaskan pada buku “menggulung motor listrik arus bolak-balik, servis peralatan listrik rumah tangga kelompok penggerak dan perbaikan peralatan listrik pertukangan”, bahwa motor penggerak yang digunakan pada perlatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan seperti blender, mixer, bor tembak, gerinda dsb menggunakan jenis motor universal. Motor universal adalah jenis motor listrik yang dapat disuplai dengan sumber listrik arus bolak-balik (AC) dan arus searah (DC). Jadi peralatan-peralatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan tersebut yang biasanya kita suplai dengan sumber listrik AC dari PLN atau Genset sebesar 220 V sebenarnya dapat juga kita suplai dengan sumber listrik DC yang tentunya tegangan juga harus sama yakni 220 V.           Yang menjadi permasalahan bagaimana kalau peralatan listrik rumah tangga atau pertukangan tersebut, sebagai contoh misalkan blender yang ingin digunakan atau dioperasikan pada tempat yang tidak terdapat sumber listrik PLN ata

Testhead

4.3         Testhead The testhead is that portion of the tester that supports the PIN, ASRU and Controller cards.   The testhead is divided into two BANKS and each BANK is divided into two MODULES, see figure 2 below.  Bank 1 contains modules 0 and 1, bank 2 contains modules 2 and 3.  The test fixtures are placed on the banks of the tester and locked down for board testing.  The testhead cards interface to the test fixture through the spring loaded pogo pin “nails” at the top edge on each of these card types. 4.4       Support Bay The support bay is a stand-alone cabinet that houses the power supplies for the Unit Under Test.  This bay also houses the test station power distribution unit and test station controller on earlier models. 4.5       Emergency Shutdown Switch The emergency shutdown switch is the large red button located at the lower left corner on the front of the testhead.  It turns off all AC power to the testhead, and is equivalent to turning off the m

Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Saluran Listrik Jenis Saluran Udara dan Saluran Bawah Tanah

Berdasarkan pemasangannya,   saluran distribusi dibagi menjadi dua kategori, yaitu : saluran udara (overhead line) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kawat penghantar yang ditompang pada tiang listrik. Sedangkan saluran bawah tanah (underground cable) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kabel-kabel yang ditanamkan di dalam tanah. 1.    Saluran Bawah Tanah (Underground Lines) Saluran distribusi yang menyalurkan energi listrik melalui kabel yang ditanam didalam tanah. Kategori saluran distribusi seperti ini adalah yang favorite untuk pemasangan di dalam kota, karena berada didalam tanah, maka tidak mengganggu keindahan kota dan juga tidak mudah terjadi gangguan akibat kondisi cuaca atau kondisi alam. Namun juga memilik kekurangan, yaitu mahalnya biaya investasi dan sulitnya menentukan titik gangguan dan perbaikannya. Kedua cara penyaluran memiliki keuntungan dan kerugian masing-masing. Keuntungan yang dapat diperoleh dari suatu jaringan bawah tanah adalah
