When most people say that in the moment of sunrise is the perfect time to begin the journey. Yes .. we agree with this. Each one of us when begins to plan, when we would get ready for bed at night, when we rushed up from the bed, and when we said goodbye and walk away from all the habits that we used to do. Footsteps and emotional are not uncommon, we believe there will be something big that we will achieve … yes, we have a dream. We will make it happen.

We are smiling to pick our dream

Terminals, stations, airports, is the most similar place to stop, and carve out a story, someone came and gone. Bandung city stations was a witness to the first step of our trip. We made an appointment to meet here and begin our dream. One by one of us had arrived with even slightly unsteady steps because we sustain the burden of the heavier bags than usual. But it did not hinder us to smile cheerfully to each other .. just to greet each other “Hi … Good morning ..” and are you ready? The five of us are ready to realize our dreams.

At 07.30 precisely, the roar of the engine series rail cars Executive Argo Wilis increasingly rowdy and signs whistle sounded from behind the glass window, indicating a fair train is ready to depart towards Gubeng Station Surabaya. We will arrive on schedule at 07.30 pm at night.

Most of the day we spent together. Jokes and laughter even thought to tend rowdy, instead of the other passengers’ atmosphere. We exchanged stories, playing cards and sometimes a bit of a frown because we were trying to tell crunchiness story. Krik… krik .. in the afternoon our stomachs were growling, we ate together the simplicity of wrapped rice with potluck dishes, but feels very tasty and luxurious as this togetherness. Hills, mountains, rivers, paddy acreage that lay green became an added scenery bonus that we can enjoy on this trip. Yes … I believe that there is happiness found along the way and not merely found at the destination.

Were in Meeting point at Jatim Expo Surabaya

At 07.30 pm in the evening, we had arrived perfectly at Gubeng Surabaya Station. Each one of us directly tries to adapt to the surrounding atmosphere. We also sit back relax in the waiting room just to stretch our legs and leaned back for a moment. While thinking the mode of transportation that will take us to the next places.

We were riding the taxi took us to the meeting point at Jatim Expo Surabaya. Most of us were just setting foot in the city of Surabaya. Therefore, we also occasionally tilting our neck out the window, put out his arms and let our cheek swept by chill night wind of Surabaya Heroes town. Although the sky was dark we tried this silly little thing because we did not get to see the city as a whole in the daylight. Only vehicle headlights, street lights, and building lights. In the way, we were involved in small talk with the driver. Mr driver told me about his family and we were asking each other about the origins, intentions and our goal here. Two bills of one hundred thousand and fifty thousand marks the end of our brief encounter with the driver. Thank you, Mr. Driver … bye.

Precisely nine o’clock we arrived at Meeting point at Jatim Expo Surabaya. The atmosphere here is quite crowded. Many youths who spent Sunday night at this place.
