Finally the plane had landed at Sultan Syarif Kasim II International Airport around 10.40 AM. Thankfully Andreas and I arrived to our homeland safely, although we had a very bad sleep in Kuala Lumpur airport last night, even I had a neck pain when I woke up.

At first, Andreas and I thought the National Jamming 2016 was just solely a round trip from Surabaya to Pekanbaru , but the destiny turned out to be different. About 2 weeks before D-day, when we were checking the flight ticket, we found a promo one to Kuala Lumpur. By comparing the ticket price difference, it turned out that Surabaya-Pekanbaru (transit via Jakarta) was more expensive around Rp 100.000-200.000 (±US$ 7-15) than Surabaya-Kuala Lumpur (transit via Singapore) + Kuala Lumpur-Pekanbaru. Based on this fact, of course without hesitation we chose the Kuala Lumpur route.

Akhirnya pesawat mendarat di Bandara Sultan Syarif Kasim II sekitar pukul 10.40 WIB. Bersyukur bisa kembali ke tanah air dengan selamat, sekalipun semalam entah layak atau tidak disebut tidur saat di bandara Kuala Lumpur, karena jauh dari kata nyenyak, sampai-sampai saya sakit leher begitu bangun.

Awalnya, saya dan Andreas berpikir Jamming Nasional 2016 kali ini hanya sekedar bolak-balik Surabaya-Pekanbaru saja, namun takdir berkata lain. Kira-kira 2 minggu sebelum hari H, saat sedang survei tiket pesawat, kita mendapatkan tiket promo ke Kuala Lumpur. Dengan menghitung selisih harga tiket, perjalanan Surabaya-Pekanbaru (transit via Jakarta) ternyata lebih mahal sekitar Rp 100.000-200.000 ketimbang Surabaya-Kuala Lumpur (transit via Singapore) + Kuala Lumpur-Pekanbaru. Berdasarkan fakta tersebut, tentu saja tanpa berpikir dua kali kita langsung pilih rute ke Kuala Lumpur.

  Because of some reason, I couldn’t go at the same time with Andreas, Thomas, Yoann, and Eduoard to Bondowoso . They'd gone first from Bungurasih bus station ( Surabaya ) around 5 PM. Meanwhile, I just could catch up the bus around 7 PM from the same station. Because there was no direct route from Surabaya to Bondowoso, so I had to get off at Bayuangga bus station in Probolinggo . But unfortunately, when I arrived, there was no more bus to Bondowoso. The last bus departure was at 8 PM, and of course Andreas and the French trio were included in it.

              Karena satu dan lain hal, saya tidak bisa pergi di waktu yang bersamaan dengan Andreas, Thomas, Yoann, dan Eduoard ke Bondowoso. Mereka sudah pergi lebih dulu naik bus dari Terminal Bungurasih, Surabaya sekitar pukul 17.00. Sementara saya sendiri baru bisa menyusul ±pukul 19.00 dari terminal yang sama. Karena tidak ada rute bus langsung dari Surabaya ke Bondowoso, maka saya pun harus turun di Terminal Bayuangga, Probolinggo. Sialnya, saat sudah sampai, tidak ada lagi bus yang menuju Bondowoso. Keberangkatan bus terakhir adalah pukul 20.00, dan tentu saja Andreas beserta rombongan sudah termasuk ke dalamnya.
