Day 4

I woke up at 3 o clock in the morning the rushed my way to wash my face and wrapped me up in hundreds layer of garments. Ha, just kidding, but It's pretty thick, cause minus two degree still on. We took taxi to Genève Aeroport, in just only 15 minutes were already on our line of star jet airline to Amsterdam.

Checked-in was done smoothly, we're having my cousin made tuna sandwich breakfast, then off to the boarding room. It was my mom first time flew with budget airline so she was a bit freak out with the unconfirmed gate 30minutes before boarding, no baggage tag and all those detail that she never felt before.

On the plane, the trip took 80 minutes on air, I was making the stories about day 3 when I saw cotton candy French skies on the window. Such a pleasant view of sunrise. And the mountain was all covered by snow. Like you're flying on Christmas Day!

Over The Netherlands all I saw was green fields, a country side view I felt warm enough on me even the weather show the opposite. Baggage claim was fast and Oom Mursal already wait on the arrival gate.

Here's short story about Oom Mursal, after some times I learnt that Oom Mursal real name is Mr. Minang. He was an old friend of my uncle in Cairo couple years ago. For the last 25 years he lives on Amsterdam as a permanent resident and had 2 children. He worked as a chef on Indonesian restaurant here. For all these time too he said he used to share his home with many kind of Indonesian people from relatives to stranger. From tourist, business and educational purpose. Oom Mursal and his wife really warm and welcome to us. And his two children, Johan and Irfan are fastly adapted kid to strangers. His wife work in Indonesian restaurant named Toko Restu too just 2 minutes walk from home. At home she worked for Indonesian jajanan pasar orders around the neighborhood.

Back to the story, we took a bus number 197 then tram number 17 to Jan Pieter Heijestraat 50B, the homey duplex of Oom Mursal and his family. His wife kindly gave us her transportation card for 2 days. At first we planned to visit Volendam first, but due to construction in underwater tunnel, the route of the bus might be changed so we think its better to have them as companion tomorrow. We took about 2 hour light sleep the made our way to Rijkmuseum then headed back to Toko Restu. Not much sightseeing today cause my mom seems to hate it being outside. And im having my big lunch on that restaurant. I was happy the taste is just like home. Before I went home I visited Johan and Onda(another Irfan nickname) school. Johan was in group 3 while Onda in group 1.

Sun slowly sets in when I'm home, me and the kids were playing many kind of things until her mom got home from her work. They seems to like it playing with me, they insist to have more games after shalat. Yeah we did shalat together, they loved it but they still learned about shalat, so no wudhu before shalat yet.
---
Not much energy after playing, I just eat everything when her mom came in and bring the sushi gift from upstairs. Ah forget to mention their neighbor was Netherlanda-Japanese couple and worked at sushi restaurant. And closing my sushi appetizer with Ayam Balado by Oom Mursal, this one is my all time favorite dishes and presented just like home.
