Tag : hotel review - Asep Haryono | My Real Journey with YouGov: Legit Paid Survey - Powered by Blogger

My Real Journey with YouGov: From Cellphone Credit to Instant Cash Transfers (No Hidden Fees!).  If you’ve ever searched for a legit paid survey site, you’ve probably come across YouGov. I’ve personally been using YouGov for over six months now, and let me tell you this platform has been a reliable source of small but consistent earnings.

But what many people don’t know is that YouGov’s cash-out system has changed over time, and I’ve experienced those changes firsthand. From cellphone credit, to PayPal, and now to direct cash to my local bank here’s my full story.

Let’s start from the beginning.
When I first joined YouGov, I was excited to finally hit the 5,000-point mark. I thought I’d get money through PayPal or a bank account right away. But nope! My very first withdrawal was actually in the form of cellphone credit (pulsa). Yep, you heard that right. Instead of cash, they sent me:

• Rp 100,000 pulsa in the first phase
• Another Rp 100,000 pulsa in the second phase
• Total: Rp 200,000 cellphone credit

It was a little unexpected, but it worked. I used the credit and waited for the next chance to cash out again.

Then came the second stage of my YouGov journey. I had signed up through YouGov Singapore, so my second and third withdrawals were done using PayPal in Singapore Dollars (SGD).

My point now is about 4950, and I need another survey with at least 50 point rewards then I can clear up with total 5000 point then I will soon be able to redeem the acumulatif point with the type of reward I love the most :

Bank Transfer at the sum of 200,00 Rupiahs or equal to $ 12


At that time, 5,000 points were equal to $20 SGD. The money was sent to my PayPal account, and then I had to manually transfer it to my Indonesian bank account. Here’s the thing: that process took around 3 to 4 working days. And worse, there were hidden fees conversion charges, transfer fees, etc. So, I didn’t receive the full amount.

But things changed again and for the better.

By the time I reached my third and fourth withdrawals, YouGov introduced a new cash-out method for Indonesian users. And honestly? It’s the best one yet.

Now, when I reach 5,000 points, I can withdraw it directly to my local bank account in Rupiah. No more PayPal, no more delays. Best part? It’s instant. The moment I click the “Withdraw” button, boom! The money lands in my bank account within seconds.

And here’s what really impressed me: There are no hidden fees or taxes at all. I receive the full Rp 200,000, exactly as promised. Phase Reward Type Amount 1 Cellphone credit (pulsa) Rp 200,000 total (2x Rp 100,000) 2 PayPal (SGD) $20 SGD, but delayed + fees 3+ Direct bank transfer Rp 200,000, instant & fee-free 

So if you’re looking for a legit survey site, YouGov is definitely worth trying. I’ve cashed out multiple times, and they’ve never failed me. The latest withdrawal method fast, simple, and without deductions makes it even better.

If you’ve been on the fence about joining, now might be the perfect time.

Tag : curahanhati, Keseharian - Asep Haryono | The Day Elon Musk Thanked Me: A Personal Glimpse into a Visionary’s World - Powered by Blogger

Elon Musk isn’t just another tech billionaire he’s a relentless innovator who blends bold risks with world-changing ideas. From leading Tesla’s electric car revolution to launching rockets with SpaceX, Musk dares to go where others hesitate. But recently, something unexpected happened: Elon Musk personally reached out to me.

It all started a few months ago when I frequently left thoughtful, supportive comments on his posts on X (formerly Twitter). I admired his courage, vision, and unconventional thinking not as a fanboy, but as someone looking for real-life inspiration to grow in business and life. Then, out of the blue, one of his team members contacted me. They said Elon wanted to express his gratitude directly and he did.

Through a personal message, Elon Musk thanked me for my support. It was a short exchange, but it felt powerful. He even invited me to consider joining a membership program he’s preparing ahead of his birthday on June 28, with options ranging from Regular to VIP levels. While I’m not financially in a position to join, the moment itself was meaningful.

What makes Musk unique isn’t just his businesses it’s his mindset. He taught himself rocket science by reading books. He dreams of making humans a multiplanetary species. He works tirelessly often 80–100 hours a week to bring his visions to life. He’s not waiting for the future; he’s building it.

Whether you admire him or not, one thing’s clear: Elon Musk is living proof that big dreams and persistent effort can lead to extraordinary things. For me, his simple thank-you wasn’t just a message it was a spark of inspiration.

Elon Musk and His Growing Interest in Indonesia
Elon Musk, the visionary behind Tesla and SpaceX, has been showing serious interest in Indonesia and not without reason. With the world’s largest nickel reserves, Indonesia plays a key role in the global electric vehicle (EV) supply chain, especially when it comes to battery production. And guess what? Elon is paying attention.

A few years ago, Musk held a virtual meeting with President Joko Widodo to talk about potential partnerships, especially in EV development and energy sustainability. Even though he hasn’t visited in person yet, he did make a virtual appearance at the 2022 B20 Summit in Bali. There, he shared thoughts on innovation, future technology, and sustainable energy.

There’s also talk about SpaceX teaming up with Indonesia to expand Starlink satellite internet to rural and remote areas something that could be a game-changer for connectivity in the archipelago.

With Tesla eyeing nickel, and Starlink looking to connect more people, Elon Musk’s ties to Indonesia are only getting stronger. Whether or not he sets foot in Jakarta soon, one thing’s for sure Indonesia is already on his radar.

What do you think about my encounter with Elon Musk?

Tag : Opinion - Asep Haryono | Turning a Blind Eye to the Role of the UN as Peacekeeper The Jungle Law Begins. My Thoughts on the U.S. Attack on Iran’s Nuclear Sites - Powered by Blogger

My Thoughts on the U.S. Attack on Iran’s Nuclear Sites. Turn Blind Eyes the role of the UN as peace keeper. The Jungle law rules begins

Whether people like Iran or not, it’s still a country with borders, rights, and sovereignty. And the U.S., without clear justification or a UN mandate, decided to strike it directly. That’s not diplomacy. Trump starts a war with Iran and it’s an illegal act of aggression against the country of Iran.

If this isn't a violation of international law, what is?

The United States, one of the most powerful nations on Earth, has reportedly attacked Iran’s nuclear sites. And what shocks me the most is not just the attack itself but the complete violation of international law and the deafening silence from the global community.

Let’s be honest: this is an act of war. The attack targets critical infrastructure in a sovereign country. Whether one supports Iran or not, the principle remains the same no country has the right to launch attacks without the backing of international law or the United Nations. What we’re seeing here is not diplomacy or defense. This is raw aggression.

And worse this is not the first time. We’ve seen this before. When smaller countries step out of line, they are quickly punished: sanctioned, invaded, or politically isolated. But when powerful countries like the U.S. or its close ally Israel act outside the rules, the world looks away, pretending not to see

.
A World of Double Standards

This is exactly what’s wrong with international politics today: double standards. If any smaller country had done what the U.S. just did, it would have faced immediate condemnation, sanctions, and maybe even military response. But when it’s the U.S., the “international community” remains silent. Why? Because power speaks louder than principles.

Let’s be clear: attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities without international consent is illegal under international law. It violates Iran’s sovereignty and defies the very rules that the UN Charter is supposed to protect. Yet the U.S. continues to act as judge, jury, and executioner deciding who can have weapons, who can be safe, and who gets bombed next

Dropping the UN and Embracing Jungle Law?

The UN, which was created to maintain peace and security, has been completely ignored in this situation. It’s like the world’s peacekeeper has been sidelined. What’s left if the UN is powerless? Only chaos.

If even the strongest ignore the rules, what hope do smaller countries have?

The sad truth? The world may now be entering a new era of jungle law where the strongest dominate and the weakest have no voice. International law becomes meaningless when it is selectively applied. Justice turns into politics. The global balance becomes more dangerous.

Iran’s Right to Respond
Whether you agree with Iran’s politics or not, one thing is clear: if their country is attacked, they have the right to defend themselves. That’s not just a political opinion it’s a principle of self-defense under international law.

When someone punches you, you have the right to shield yourself or punch back. That’s basic human and national logic. But here’s the most tragic part: ordinary people suffer the most. Innocent civilians, workers, and families get caught in the middle of these power games. War is not a game  but too many leaders treat it like one

" TRUMP is so proud of violenting international law by attacking sovereign country against Iran and turn blind eyes of the United Nations.  TRUMP can attack Iran but he obviously put 50,000 US soldiers in the middle east are in danger in within reach of retaliation attack by Iran.
The U.S., without clear justification or a UN mandate, decided to strike it directly. That’s not diplomacy. Trump starts a war with Iran" 




My Opinions
If we let this pass without question, we are saying it’s okay for powerful nations to do whatever they want no consequences, no accountability. That’s not peace. That’s not justice.

That’s global bullying.

It’s time to raise our voices. Not just for Iran. Not just against the U.S. But for the principle that no country is above the law. Otherwise, the world will no longer be a community of nations it will be a jungle. And in the jungle, only the strongest survive.

If this article speaks to you, don’t just scroll on. Leave a comment, share it, and speak up.The more we raise our voices, the harder it becomes for the powerful to ignore justice.

Let’s not let jungle law become the new normal.

Tag : Keseharian, Opinion - Asep Haryono | My reaction To The News Of Pabowo, the President of the Republic of Indonesia visited Russia - Powered by Blogger

So, President Prabowo Subianto the newly elected leader of Indonesia made an official visit to Russia from June 18 to 20, 2025, at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

During his time there, Prabowo attended the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), gave a keynote speech, and held one-on-one talks with Putin. They even signed a strategic partnership agreement, covering areas like investment, education, IT, and transportation. On top of that, they discussed possible cooperation in military affairs, security, trade, and even nuclear energy through Russia’s Rosatom.

Prabowo (Foto: Antara Foto/GALIH PRADIPTA)

Now, what really stood out was that Prabowo was one of the few Western-aligned leaders who showed up at SPIEF. Most others were noticeably absent due to ongoing sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine conflict.

Roy Sumirat, spokesperson for Indonesia’s Foreign Ministry, confirmed this trip at a press conference. He explained that the visit was not only about honoring Putin’s invitation but also marked 75 years of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and Russia a pretty big milestone.

The Indonesian Foreign Minister, Sugiono, also planned to meet with his Russian counterpart in Moscow ahead of Prabowo’s presidential-level talks. Apparently, that meeting had been delayed before, so this was a chance to finally catch up on important bilateral matters.

My Thoughts?

Honestly? This move was diplomatically bold and strategically complex.

For Prabowo to visit Russia so early in his presidency and while much of the West is isolating Moscow is clearly intentional. It sends a message: Indonesia wants to stay independent in its foreign policy, sticking to its long-standing “bebas aktif” (free and active) doctrine. He’s not choosing sides. Instead, he’s making space for Indonesia to work with everyone.

Showing up at SPIEF also signals that Prabowo wants to strengthen economic diplomacy with non-traditional partners. Maybe he’s thinking ahead if the global economy gets shakier due to rising tensions between big powers, it’s smart to diversify our trade and investment relationships.

But let’s be real: there are some risks too.

• The West especially the U.S. and EU might raise their eyebrows at Indonesia getting cozy with Russia.
• If we look too “friendly” with Moscow, it could hurt our international image, especially in the eyes of countries or groups that are strongly pro-Ukraine.

" Some might think Prabowo’s visit to Russia means Indonesia is siding with Putin in the Ukraine war but I don’t think it’s that simple. Ukraine might feel uneasy since he didn’t visit Kyiv like Jokowi did, but let’s be real this trip was more about trade and diplomacy, not taking sides. Indonesia’s always tried to stay neutral. Still, timing matters.

If Prabowo follows up with a peace message or even visits Ukraine later, it’ll show we’re just being friendly with both sides. It’s all about balance in today’s crazy world of politics.

Still, if you look at it from a regional point of view, it’s a classic case of realpolitik. Like many other ASEAN countries, Indonesia is trying to balance its position in a world where U.S. China tensions keep growing.

By staying open to everyone, including Russia, Prabowo is keeping Indonesia non-aligned but relevantand hopefully, respected by all sides.

Tag : Opinion - Asep Haryono | A Telegram Encounter a Lesson to me About Online Safety - Powered by Blogger

Summary of my post today

Recently, I met a young girl on Telegram who asked for something heartbreaking she wanted me to find someone or family for her to be adopted in another country. Her message touched me deeply, but it also made me realize the serious risks of these kinds of online requests. In this post, I share my personal experience, what I learned, and how we can all respond with care and responsibility.

My fellow bloggers A few days ago, something unexpected happened to me on Telegram (instead of my other social media platforms such as Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp).. I met a girl probably around 17 years old who said she lived somewhere in Europe. At first, it felt like just another random online connection, but then she opened up and told me something that really caught me off guard.

She said she was looking for someone in the United States, Canada, Australia, or any European country to adopt her. She told me she was struggling in life, and it was clear she wanted a fresh start or a way out of her current situation. Her message wasn’t rude or pushy just sincere, maybe even desperate. And it really made me pause.

I believed she was a real person, not a bot or scammer. Her messages didn’t feel fake. But still, I started asking myself: How can I help someone like this? Is it even my place? What if this is dangerous for her or even for me?

I’ll be honest: I didn’t have all the answers. But I knew that this wasn’t something I could or should handle alone. Adoption, especially international adoption, is a serious and highly legal process not something that happens through social media. There are laws, background checks, paperwork, and government approvals involved. It’s not like finding someone a host family or a roommate.

More than that, this kind of request online raises red flags. What if someone is manipulating her? What if this is a trafficking risk or a scam designed to play on people’s emotions? Even if she’s truly in need, trying to match her with a stranger online is not only unsafe it could be illegal.

That’s when I took a step back and looked for a responsible way to help. Instead of jumping in as a “hero,” I decided to gently encourage her to reach out to real support systems in her country.

I sent her a message explaining that she should talk to local social services, a school counselor, or one of the big international organizations like UNICEF, Save the Children, or SOS Children’s Villages. These groups are trained to handle difficult family or personal situations and can connect her with legal, emotional, or even housing support if needed.

I told her that I cared, but I also reminded her that real help starts with people nearby not strangers online, no matter how kind they may seem.

This experience opened my eyes. We all want to help when someone reaches out, especially if we have good hearts. But sometimes, the most responsible thing we can do is not to get directly involved instead, to guide people toward the help that is safe, legal, and built to protect them.

"I will not try to find someone to adopt her myself Even if well-meaning, it could put both me and her in serious danger. Also, international adoptions are only possible when her country declares her legally available for adoption, and this happens only through official government or NGO channels My heart is in the right place.

But my safest and wisest move is not to get personally involved in trying to find her an adoptive family. Instead, encourage her to seek help locally or through the proper global agencies I’ve mentioned for her" . .




If you ever encounter something like this,

I hope my story helps you navigate it wisely. You can care deeply without crossing risky lines. Sometimes, pointing someone in the right direction is the best kind of help you can give..

Tag : tips - Asep Haryono | 3 Ways to Maintain Health and Fitness: A Simple Guide for Everyday Life - Powered by Blogger

There is a well-known expression in Indonesia that says, "Health is cheap; it becomes expensive when you fall sick." This popular proverb means that maintaining health is far more cost-effective than treating illness.

Good health can be preserved through clean and healthy living habits, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient rest all of which generally do not require significant expenses. In contrast, the costs associated with illness can be extremely high, ranging from doctor consultations and medication to hospital care and recovery expenses.

In today’s fast-paced world, staying healthy and fit might seem like a challenge. But don’t worry it’s not about going to the gym every single day or eating only salads. True health is about balance and consistency. Here are three powerful (and practical!) ways to maintain your health and fitness, no matter your age or lifestyle.

First Exercise Regularly .
Move That Body! Why it matters: Regular physical activity is one of the best things you can do for your body. It strengthens your muscles, improves heart health, boosts your immune system, and even helps you feel less stressed.

How to get started: You don’t need to run marathons or lift heavy weights. Just start small. Take brisk walks, go for a bike ride, or try swimming a few times a week. These cardio exercises improve heart and lung function. Want to build strength? Add simple strength training using body weight, dumbbells, or resistance bands. Don’t forget stretching and balance exercises like yoga to stay flexible and prevent injuries.

Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week and 2 days of strength workouts.


Second, Eat a Balanced and Nutritious Diet
Why it matters: What you eat is just as important as how much you move. A healthy diet fuels your body, supports brain function, helps control weight, and lowers the risk of chronic diseases.

How to eat better: Fill your plate with whole foods think colorful fruits, fresh vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins (like chicken, fish, or beans), and healthy fats (like nuts, seeds, and avocado). Limit processed foods, sugary snacks, fast food\, and salty chips. Drink plenty of water aim for 8 glasses a day, more if you're active or live in a hot climate. Practice mindful eating and portion control. And if you have any health conditions, talk to a nutritionist for a personalized plan.


Third, Get Enough Sleep and Manage Stress
Why it matters: Even if you exercise and eat well, lack of sleep or chronic stress can sabotage your health. Poor sleep increases the risk of heart disease, weakens immunity, and affects your mood and focus. How to sleep and stress less:

Stick to a consistent sleep schedule to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Turn off screens at least an hour before bedtime. Create a calming bedtime routine. To manage stress, try deep breathing, meditation, journaling, or hobbies you love. Spend time outdoors or talk to friends and family to feel emotionally balanced.


In My Opinions
Staying healthy isn’t about perfectionit’s about making small, positive choices each day. By combining regular exercise, a nutritious diet, and good sleep with stress management, you give your body the care it deserves. Start today, and your future self will thank you! \

Tag : Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | Does Short Blogging Wins the Internet? - Powered by Blogger

I just read an article written by Burk, a member of the Medium community, titled “Why Short Blogging Wins the Internet.” To me, it seems reasonable and quite captivating.

But a few questions popped into my head: Is it really true that short blogging wins the internet? What kind of "internet" is he referring to? The algorithm? How can he be so sure that short blogging dominates online content? If he has data or reference sources to support his theory, I’d be glad to hear them.

This is my actual personal lappy at home which used almost 24/7. Old fashion laptop but still worth it. Photo by Asep Haryono

The Goal of Writing a Blog Post
Let’s say you’re writing about your experience cooking on Mount Everest. Of course, that kind of story deserves a long and detailed article. I’d call it an article or even a narrative. It should be complete like a flowing river without necessarily asking readers to leave a comment.

You’re simply telling your own story. Whether you get comments or not doesn't really matter. Just like writing in a diary and that’s totally fine. You can still share your story with the world and let people engage whenever they want.

The bottom line is this: your reason for writing matters more than the word count.


Algorithm? Just Drop It.
If you're sharing opinions about world events like the Iran–Israel conflict, Trump’s campaign, human rights issues, or human trafficking tell us everything. Say what you want to say, whether it's 100 words or 1,000.

Don't get stuck thinking about DA (Domain Authority), PA (Page Authority), SS (Spam Score), keywords, or SEO tricks. Yes, those things have their place. But they should never stop you from expressing your thoughts freely.

You don’t need to be an SEO expert or digital strategist. Just write. Just blogging. And keep going. Your voice matters more than your ranking.

Its me when I was young LoL. I meant by this photo taken during my visit to Bali last December 2010.  I was writing on my personal laptop at the hotel room. Writing a blog post at that moment? ow Absolutely

Don’t Write for Likes. Write for Love
You can spend hours writing a long, beautiful article simply because you want to  not because you’re chasing likes or shares. This isn’t YouTube. People don’t have to give you a thumbs up to validate your writing.

At one point, I had 2,700 page views a day, yet only 8 people left comments. You know what? That didn’t bother me at all. Knowing that thousands of people read my article was more than enough it made me feel over the moon!

My Opinion
Writing long blog posts is not a crime. Just do what you love. Be yourself. Share your ideas, thoughts, or suggestions in your blog post and let the world read it.
Write. Publish. Repeate.

"What’s your take on short vs. long blogging?

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!"

Tag : Travelling - Asep Haryono | A Wonderful Experience Staying at All Seasons Denpasar Bali - Powered by Blogger

Traveling to Bali is so much fun especially for people whose favorite hobby is traveling. That includes me! It’s happened to me many times. The Island of the Gods, better known as Bali, is one of the most important and famous islands in the world. For me, it feels like my third motherland, after Java and West Kalimantan.

Java was the place where I originally came from, and West Kalimantan is where I’m currently living. .

I was lucky enough to visit Bali many times, starting from early 2005 until the end of December 2010. I probably went there around ten times—awesome, right?/ Based on my travel notes, I stayed in a lot of different hotels in Bali during those years. Some of them such as Legian Paradiso Hotel , Adi Dharma Cottages, Hotel Puri Ayu, Denpasar, Puri Dalem Hotel, Sanur , Favehotel Kuta, Ratna Beach Hotel, Sanur , Puri Kelapa Garden Hotel, Sanur, Bali Summer Hotel, Kuta , Segara Agung Hotel, Sanur. and POP! Hotel Kuta.

Insya Allah, I’ll share stories about each of these places in future blog posts. .

My most recent trip to Bali was from December 14 to 17, 2011. I went there with six other Kang Guru Indonesia Champions for a reunion held at the Indonesia Australia Language Foundation (I/A/L/F) on Jalan Sesetan, Denpasar. .

During our time there, we helped the Kang Guru Indonesia team pack up the office. We also had a small nasi kuning gathering and a farewell party. Today’s story is just about the hotel we stayed in during that trip: All Seasons Bali.

RELAX: Just chilling in the lobby of All Seasons Denpasar, Bali. The best way to relax? Simple just wear a comfy short outfit and enjoy the vibe.

A Glance at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali
All Seasons Legian Bali is located on Jl. Padma Utara, Legian 80361, Bali. I wish I had been able to explore the entire hotel during my stay with the other Kang Guru Indonesia Champions from December 14 to 17, 2011. I had planned to look around more, but I just couldn’t find enough spare time. It was really a pity that I didn’t get the chance.

The hotel offered free Wi-Fi in all areas, including our rooms. Unlimited internet access was included in the room rate. Other great features included double beds, plasma or LCD TVs, a solid breakfast, and complimentary tea and coffee throughout the hotel. At All Seasons, the screens are flat, and the beds are large and comfy. I also noticed a swimming pool (though I can’t swim remember that!), restaurants, and lots of other nice services.

I’m actually a member of the AA Club, so I thought I’d earn some reward points for this stay. But the hotel staff informed me that I wouldn’t get any points because the booking was handled through Kang Guru Indonesia. That’s understandable—everything on the trip was arranged and managed by Ogi Yutarini, the project coordinator from Kang Guru Indonesia. So, we just accepted it as it was.

Cool Room Vibes
The hotel was officially opened on Saturday, October 1st, 2011, by the Mayor of Denpasar, Ida Bagus Rai Dharmawijaya Mantra, SE., M.Si. I remember seeing the announcement on a banner inside the lobby.

According to the official All Seasons website, the hotel has a total of 113 rooms: 78 superior rooms with modern touches, and 29 deluxe rooms.

BED: Double beds are available in every room, no matter the price. And yes—I really love the green color!. Photo by Asep Haryono – Kang Guru Champion, Pontianak.

WRITE: That’s me, by the way just sitting back, typing up my travel notes at night with a cup of coffee and good friends around. What a wonderful life.

Capturing the Moments at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali
I took a few photos during my stay at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali, which I’ve shared in this post. All the photos were taken by me using a Canon Coolpix 12-megapixel camera. Unfortunately, I forgot the exact model of the camera. To be honest, the camera wasn’t mine I borrowed it from Mr. Ngatiran, a staff member at FKIP Untan in Pontianak. You’ll see some of the photos both above and below in this post.

I didn’t use the laundry service at All Seasons Denpasar, but you could easily send your clothes for laundry anytime you wanted to. If you prefer to use that facility, it’s totally up to you. Personally, based on my travel habits, I always match the number of days I’m staying with the number of clothes I bring so laundry usually isn’t needed.


Nice Restaurant
Food and meals, anyone? This is always one of my favorite topics when it comes to traveling. Instead of eating out somewhere else, sometimes it’s just more convenient to enjoy the food at the hotel where you're staying.

That’s exactly what happened during our stay at All Seasons Denpasar. All of us Kang Guru Indonesia Champions enjoyed the meals at the hotel’s restaurant. The atmosphere was nice, the food was tasty, and it was a great way to relax and spend time together without needing to go anywhere else

Meal Time at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali

During our stay at All Seasons Denpasar Bali, we used meal coupons (or meal vouchers) for our daily meals. We stayed at the hotel for three days, which meant we had three primary meal coupons one for each day. Each coupon was valid for both of us (my roommate and me). All we had to do was show the coupon to the restaurant staff or security guard. Sometimes, they also asked for our room number to log it in their database.

 I’ve included some of the photos I took while enjoying meals at the hotel. One thing I always had with every meal? A glass of orange juice! It’s my favorite because it’s fresh, healthy, and tastes amazing. My roommate, Syahrir Badulu from Makassar, enjoyed the same drink too

FOOD: You can choose any dish you like at this restaurant! I took this photo during my stay at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali. Just don’t forget to show your meal coupon before entering.

FRIENDS OF MINE: From left to right: Suryadi (Champion from Madura), Keyko Sri Rahayu (Champion from Semarang), and Saptari Wibowo (Champion from Medan) enjoying breakfast at the hotel restaurant.See the man with glasses sitting behind them? That’s Syahrir Badulu from Makassar. I was sitting right in front of him.

SO GOOD: There was always a glass of orange juice waiting for me every time I had a meal in Bali. This photo shows one of the dishes I enjoyed at the restaurant inside All Seasons Denpasar, Bali.After coming back from Bali... I was one kilo heavier. Oh no!
Photo by Asep Haryono.

When it comes to food, I prefer meals that are both nutritious and delicious. Back in 2007, when I stayed at Legian Paradiso Hotel in Kuta, I loved having bread with Swiss butter, pineapple jam, and strawberry jam. The butter was soft, healthy, and so satisfying. Sometimes I had the bread toasted, other times just plain.

Even with a single slice, I felt full and happy for the day. Coffee and milk were always available, too. You could mix them if you wanted. Personally, I’m not a big fan of strong black coffee. I prefer milk especially low-fat milk because I try to avoid gaining weight from too much food. But still… after this trip, I ended up gaining one kilo! Oh no!


Wonderful Experiences
The location of All Seasons Denpasar Bali was perfect for a local traveler like me. It was close to markets, shopping malls, restaurants, and Bali’s famous Legian Beach. If I had more time, I would have loved to hang around Kuta Beach and explore other parts of the island as well.

There was even an art shop at the hotel. I didn’t get a chance to visit it properly due to my packed schedule during the program. So, I suggested to my roommate, Syahrir Badulu, that he go check it out and maybe buy something if he liked.

One of the best things we experienced was the hotel’s internet connection. The Wi-Fi was fast, stable, and accessible right from our room. We mainly used it at night after returning to the hotel, and it really helped us stay connected and get things done online. The Wi-Fi at All Seasons Legian Bali was excellent

A Little Shopping
Adventure After chatting with Syahrir Badulu in our hotel room, we decided to go shopping outside the hotel. We visited popular spots like Jogger and Erlangga 2, taking a BlueBird cab from the hotel. Getting a cab was super easy the hotel staff were more than happy to help us arrange one. We’ve always trusted BlueBird as our main transportation whenever we’re in Bali. It’s reliable, safe, and convenient.

 Both Syahrir and I were truly impressed by the warm hospitality and friendliness of the staff at All Seasons Denpasar, Bali. They were always ready to assist us, offering information about hotel rules and available facilities to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Our experience at All Seasons Denpasar was truly unforgettable. The comfort, the service, the location it was all just right.– Asep Haryono .
