PGE Arena Gdanks Stadium, Poland

 Extra-Velganzer, as I promise to you, related to the euphoria of EURO 2012, we are going to travel to the eight stadium that will be used to host all of the game both of in Poland and Ukraine. We already visit the National Stadium in Warsaw. So right now, we are going to visit another stadium, not in the Warsaw but still in the Poland. Yes, Its Gdanks, This city lies on the southern edge of Gdańsk Bay (of the Baltic Sea), in a conurbation with the city of Gdynia, spa town of Sopot, and suburban communities, which together form a metropolitan area called the Tricity (Trójmiasto), with a population of over 800,000. Gdańsk itself has a population of 455,830 (June 2010), making it the largest city in the Pomerania region of Northern Poland.

Napoleon said Gdansk is "key to everything", something a 1,000-year history that has seen it regularly change hands attests to. The maritime city known until 1945 as Danzig has been under the rule of Poland, the Teutonic Order, Prussia and later Germany. As recently as 1939 when World War Two started with the invasion of Gdansk, it was even a city state, with its own constitution, national anthem and currency. Since 1945 it has prospered under the Polish flag.

 The amazing Gdanks has been choosen as one of the host city for extravaganza and amazing EURO 2012. PGE Arena Gdanks is the name of this stadium. You should see this one Travelganzer. The PGE Arena Gdanks Stadium named with started PGE because since 2010 the official name of the stadium the basis of a sponsorship agreement with Polska Grupa Energetyczna (PGE Group).

The PGE Arena Gdańsk previously called the Baltic Arena, It is used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Lechia Gdańsk. The Stadium is located on ul. Pokoleń Lechii Gdańsk ("Generations of Lechia Gdańsk street") in the northern part of the city (Letnica district). The capacity of the stands is 43,615 spectators, all seated and roofed. PGE Arena Gdańsk is the largest arena in Ekstraklasa and the third largest in the country (after National Stadium and Silesia Stadium).

This stadium broke to the ground at 2008 and then re-built in 2008-2011. The official ceremony of the opening of the stadium conducted in 14 August 2011 The opening match was between Lechia Gdańsk and Cracovia and ended with 1–1 draw. The stadium built spend construction cost for 775 Million PLN and built by RKW Rhode Kellermann Wawrowsky together with structural engineer Bollinger+Grohmann. Nowadays, this stadium owned by City of Gdańsk with the operators Lechia Gdańsk Operator. And The first international match, Poland - Germany, took place on 6 September 2011 and ended 2-2. The latter was relocated from Warsaw because the National Stadium was not ready. PGE Arena is used by Lechia Gdańsk since “White-green” relocated there form MOSiR Stadium.

 The stadium is also one of the designated venues for the finals of Euro 2012. It will host four matches during the tournament. Three matches in Group C and one quarterfinal are to be played here. This stadium is a football-specific stadium, which means that the turf is not ejected or changeable. For that reason it also lacks an athletics track (running). The stadium has dimensions 236 meters long, 203 meters wide and 45 meters height.

PGE Area’s exterior is designed to resemble amber which has long been extracted on the Baltic coast. Whole roof construction is based on 82 girders. Roof structure has totally area of 44 000 m². The facade and the roof are covered with 18 000 plates of polycarbonate multiwall sheet, in 6 shades, with a total area of 4.5 hectares. Two logos (placed on the western and eastern side of the stadium), are made in LED technology, with a height of 8 meters and length of 35 meters.

 The pitch has dimensions of 105x68 meters, and its distance from the grandstand is 10.5 m behind the goals, and 8.5 m from the side lines. PGE Arena grandstands under the standards of FIFA and UEFA are covered, the center which is hovering over the field however will be uncovered. The issue of installing a sliding roof was considered, but the idea was abandoned due to costs and limited time to complete the construction. Remaining space is reserved for the other participants of the event (staff, etc.). The stadium meets the criteria for UEFA Category 4.

Stadium capacity is 43,615 seats during league matches. However the total number of seats (gross) is approximately 44,000. During the UEFA European Football Championship in 2012 capacity will be reduced to approximately 40 000 seats. I don’t know why this would happen, but in my positive thinking maybe this should be conducted as a part to give comfortable to the supporters.

 At the stadium there are 40 boxes behind glass where full catering is provided (so-called sky-boxes). Eight of which have an area of 60 m² (646 ft²) and the remaining 32 have an area of 30 m² (323 ft²). In addition to the sky-boxes, stadium offers 1383 seats of higher standard (VIP places) for the more affluent guests. Each of them is equipped with comfortable seat and located just below the sky-boxes. Both sky-boxes and VIP places have a separate entrance with dedicated foyer.

The seats on the PGE Arena was provided by Polish company Forum Seating belonging to the Nowy Styl Group located in Krosno. Moreover the stadium has 50 extra seats for disabled persons (How great, right). As you know that the football things already become a very universal languange for all people in the world even for those who have limitation.

So what are you thinking right now, even stadium can be a greatest place to be visited. It is just about believe that there will be a great experience even in the small place, because journey, travelling, trip, walk around is not only limited in Natural Site. So let me accompany you during your travel to this PGE Gdanks Stadium.

Lofoten Island, Norway

Extra-Velganzer. Velkommen, Hvordan går det med Deg?.heheheh,  I am trying here to speak Norvege because right now we are going to travel, to conduct journey, to make a trip or whatever the words you said to desribe “Travelling, Journey, Trip” because Norway already waiting for you to pack your bag and preparing your visa and buying a ticket. I hope that you will have “god reise” in Norway.

  So, our destination right now is Lofoten Island. It is a group of islands in the northern part of Norway. With its postcard looking small fishing villages nestled in fjords, dotting a very rugged coast with abrupt peaks rising directly from the ocean, the archipelago is often described as one of the most scenic parts of Norway.

As you know that nature is powerfull in Norway, perhaps nowhere so than in the Lofoten Island, 123 Miles northern of the artic circle. This island has 118-mile-long archipleago of small fishing communities set againts a dramatic wall of towering snow-patched peaks-granite formations that date back several billion years-has drawn increasing numbers of mainlanders (and foreign) attracted to its seclusion, special light, bracing air, and unpolluter air and waters. Clearly, healthy and special environments would take to you to another world. Yes, fresh mind world and healthy world of course.

The traditional Rorbu (Fishing cottage) was traditionally built on the docks extending out over the water, today they are popular as rentals for their simplicity (and the insight into the local way of life). This steep island-world is bathed in summer nights of eight-hour dusk, with the midnight sun shinning from June untill the July.

Svolvaer with the population over 4000 peoples,it becomes the mai town for the islands, has a thriving summer art colony. Feries arrive here from mainland Bodo, Where Edgar Allan Poe spent a number of years writing A Descent Into The Maelstorm, describing the unique phenomenon of immense volumes of water flushed through deep, narrow gorges with the outgoing tide.

A Maelstrom – The word, of Dutch origin, means “Grinding Stream” – is a furious natural whirlpool (also known as a “Kettle”) that creates a goose-bump-including howl. Before catching the ferry to the Lofoten, visit Salstraumen Eddy on the mainland to see what mesmerized Poe

How To Get To The Lofoten Island

The Map below is designed to help you decide which means of transport is most suitable to your needs when planning your journey to Flakstad & Moskenes in the Lofoten Islands. Overseas travellers will most likely arrive in Oslo or Bergen - by air or by boat. From here, you have a number of options to choose from on your journey north.

Please note that the Coastal Voyage (Hurtigruten) is not shown on the map. This is a coastal liner that operates daily departures from Bergen to Kirkenes and back, a journey of one week's duration. The coastal Steamer stops at Stamsund in the Lofoten Islands, from where there are corresponding bus services to Flakstad and Moskenes.

 It takes about 3 hours by air from Oslo to Lofoten, but you can, of course, travel by other means of transport like the Coastal Steamer as mentioned above, the train (approx 22 hours), or by car, thus spending more time enjoying your journey. We will be glad to provide further details of means of transport, including bus, boat and air services within Lofoten.There are also express passenger boats from Bodø and Narvik to Svolvær, from where there are daily bus services to Flakstad & Moskenes.

Otherwise, the easiest way to get to Flakstad Moskenes is to take the appropriate means of transport to Bodø, and catch the ferry from Bodø to Moskenes. It is also possible to fly from Bodø to Leknes (Widerøe's) - 25 min. flight - and catch a bus from there. Motorists may either catch the ferry over from Bodø, or from Skutvik in Hamarøy to Svolvær, from where they can drive the full length of the magnificent Lofoten Islands all the way to Å.

Modern Islamic Boarding School Darussalam Gontor (Pondok Pesantren Modern Darussalam Gontor), Indonesia

Extra-Velganzer. Day 5  was very long journey to be made through. 5 PM after “Lets Go The Mall”. Me and 2 of my best friends left a very romantic moments in Bandung “Which I Love It”. We were after another experinence to be revealed at another place, because all of us believe that there will be a heaven in another side of this world if we believe and ready to see it.

So this very early night at 11 April we head to the east. Yes, I need to pursue my dream, my littlehood dream. Eventhough I’ve never make it happen in my chilhood but I am very happy I can make it seriously –Happily-unforgettable-Amazing moments in my young-hood life today. I always believe if we dream about and we have effort blooming it that would be a very hard precious moments to be enjoyed when we can make it directly in front of our own eyes.

 Our traveling start at Cicaheum Bus terminal in West Java. Our destination is Ponorogo bus station. After waiting for about one hours finally our bus give us a sign “yes, of course iam gonna departed right now, Big Boy”. After the wheel a little bit shaking the road and the machine groaning and moaning in my ear we left Bandung with a big smile. Soon or later I am gonna see this town more and more.

Our journey with the bus will take 15 hours before it arrived at Ponorogo. We did have many experience during this travelling by bus especially when al of the passenger  get shocked when another in just very centimeter will hit our bus. Thanks god that we are safe. We left bandung and skip Nagreg, Garut, Tasikmalaya, Ciamis, Cilacap, Purwokerto, Kebumen, Temanggung, Magelang, Jogjakarta, Klaten, Solo, Karanganyar, Sragen, Ngawi,Madiun behind. And finally after passing through long night, after we spend a lot of time with sleep, we can smile bigger after finally the driver hit the brake at Ponorogo Bus Terminal.

We are not alone in Ponorogo, our kind friend came to pick up us with his car. No need to wait too long, he came with a big smile and asked us to have breakfast first before we head our main destination. Time for delicious Soto Lamongan. A delicious food for no-food all night peoples.

 Finish our food, we move to our destination.  This destination is very “I Would never forget that I ever been here, I even will not sleep just to enjoy this moments” place. My heart was pound when I see for the far “Welcome to The Darussalam Islamic Bording School” or famous with simple name “Gontor”. My Dreams Came True.

This place is very “something” place, is not about beauty, is about you see some incredible new place here. The people, the activity and everything was just very awesome. Not like another Islamic Boarding School, Gontor provide and offer some great value for her students to become strong, independence, smart and success. You not only read the Holy Qur’an, understanding and know the Qur’an and Hadist. They also teach you how to survive, improve your hobby, learn about responsibility, interact with another people. And so many things here to see.

 You will not see their force the students to learn about Islam for 24 hours. They will show you how Islam is very open minded to many things as long as it usefull and not cross the borders that already given. You can love musics, you can do sports, you can dance, you can be “Booker” Boys or whatever do you want to be as long as you can responsible to it and the most important things you never forget about your precious faith “Islam”. World should be balanced with hereafter world. I do very love this concept and that’s why I always dream to visit this place whenever I have spare time.

I love to visit this place more and more. And I don’t want to talk about this place too much, I just want you to be there, to see it live, to make your story and to decide whether all the things I said just a “Big Fat Liar” story or it is a real story. It is your turn bro…go there and fill by the experience you get.

Let's go to the mall, everybody!

Come on Jessica, come on Tori,

Let's go to the mall, you won't be sorry

And your cool graffiti coat

At the mall, having fun is what it's all about

And you know how my parents get (Whatever!)

I don't care,'cause all my friends are gonna be there

Let's go to the mall today

Everybody come and play

Throw every last care away

Lets go to the mall, today

Lets go to the mall everybody!

There's this boy

I like Met him at the food court

He's got hair like Gretzky

And he does jumps on his skateboard

I hope he asks me out

Takes me to my favorite spot

It'll be just him and me

(But don't forget the robot)

Dad says I'm too young to date (Lame!)

But baby, I don't want to wait (Let's do it!)

That's OK, I'm going to rock your body anyway

I'm going to rock your body 'til Canada Day

Everybody come and play

Throw every last care away

Let's go to the mall today

I went to the mall with a couple of friends

Let's go to the mall today

Everybody loves the mall!

Everybody come and play (Yeah!)

Let's go to the mall today 

Extra-velganzer, lyrics above tell a little story about my activity in day 4 (The song came from Robin Scherbatsky - My Lovely TV Drama Show "How I meet Your Mother"), or the last day i spend in Bandung. So what I am going that day. Yes, of course, Lets go to the Mall spend the day and at the same time feeding the “ Hungry Eyes”. You know that sometimes Mall have unexpected temptation and sometimes seduce us to confirm it with “BUY”…hahahaha.

 So, my journey in 8 hours before left bandung started in CIWALK (Cihampelas Walk). This mall located near Surapati. I love the concept of this mall is just like you walk in old town where the shops sell their products near the street (Maybe that’s the reason they called this shopping center with “Walk” not “Run”). The street laid on between one complex of shops with the others. In the middle of the street you will find trees grow freely, how amazing isn’t it. Don’t ask me about anything in Mall, most of the mall is just like the others, sell clothes, fast food restaurant, sport shops, etc. for me, Mall is just place for hangout. I do agree with my self that I would not spend a lot of money here because iam not interested, I just want to capture the moment in Ciwalk and thats what iam get.

 So after visiting the Cihampelas Walk we are moving forward to the Bandung Indah Plaza (BIP) this mall located in a down town of Bandung, I am not really sure about where is the exactly position of this mall but my instict said that this place located near the Riau Street Crossroads, asking me where is the Riau Street, and I will say still in Dago Steet (Dago is The Best). This Mall is huge, its just like a big cube and then you put some space for shops. Adding some attractive door with human sensor, put some Baliho/Billboard, and here it is Bandung Indah Plaza. a little bit crowded when I visited it if I have to compared with the previous Mall. So I decided to eneter some fast food restaurant to order fried chicken. After that. Iam just left the mall because I have very strict agenda today.

 My journey continue to the Braga Mall. Iam not quit sure if it is place can be called as a Mall, beside it only have few shops, the visitor mostly can be counted with my 3 fingers. Iam just preassume that this place actually is shopping center provide for the residence of the apartments. Because beside being a shopping center this place also provide apartment to be sold or to be rent. I am not doing anything much over here. I am just looking for shoes because in this place you can get branded shoes with “Italic” price. For your information, if you exit by walk from Braga Mall you can see fun-tastics view. Because the road near this place is very unique, made from conblock and the building around is very old.

 The last mall I visited is Cimahi Mall (CIMALL). This mall located in administrative area in Cimahi. Near bandung of course, it’s about 15 minutes more or less to be there. The mall is not quite big, mostly like Braga Mall but bigger. The shops not quite much I think. Iam not quite pay attention because the truth I hang out here is just to taste the food in Gokana Tepan Resto, How awesome right.

My journey in west java finally finished. After visit Cimahi Mall, I will continue my journey to the East Java. So I will suggest you not to get bored because you will find so much unforgettable story from journey. Just believe.

How To Get To The Malls

To be there, you should already arrive in bandung. There is direct flight to Bandung from Jakarta if you plan to get there by Plane. You can take a cab from Husein sastranegara Airport to travel around the mall.

        If you backpacker traveller and you are enjoy traveling by Bus or Train then soon you arrive at Soekarno Hatta International Airport you can order  travel to Bandung in outside exit door of the airport.

Norodowy Stadion (National Stadium), Poland

            

              Extra-velganzer, 2012 European Football Champhionship will start immediately. This event will take you attention with their opening ceremony at 8 June. Do you already prepare anything for your journey because this event will be held in two country at the some time. A little bit strange but thats okey, since few past years ago some sport events always have double host country to serve atheletes from all over country with their fanatics supporter. So this european football sport events will be held in two country that are Poland and Ukraine. Thats why, before the opening ceremony why dont you travel with me to see the most “unbelievable” stadium that will held all of the game from the opening till the finale.

            Lets start our journey to the most beautifull and the biggest stadium in Poland ( I guest). So this stadium called as National Stadium. In polish, it called Norodowy Stadion. The plot of land situated in the area between ul. Wybrzeże Szczecińskie, Al. Zielenieckiej and Al. Poniatowskiego in the Praga Południe district in Warsaw is the location of the National Stadium along with its associated infrastructure. The investment involves the construction of the National Stadium to take the place of the demolished 10th Anniversary Stadium.

 The construction work of national stadium was started on site in 2008. The cost to build such a huge stadum like national stadium is about 500 million euro (i can not imagine about the money). The first activity was to demolish the old stands of Stadion Dziesięciolecia. The architect “Mosby” of this stadium is Gerkan, Marg and Partners an architectural company based on Hamburg, Germany. The structural engineer of this stadium is Schlaich Bergermann and Partners or famous as one of world  renowned structural engineer firm based in Stuttgart, germany.

The cornerstone (foundation stone) and a time capsule were set during the ceremony held on 7 October 2009. The time capsule contained flags of Poland, the European Union and the city of Warsaw, newspapers of the day, coins, banknotes, and other artifacts.

In 2009, the construction works were scheduled for completion by mid 2011. However, construction failures were revealed in late May 2011, which resulted in setting a new completion term for 29 November 2011, where the stadium has then been cleared for use

The new stadium has a seating capacity of 58,500 only for football games, but the capacity can change if it used for concert which can be used for 73,000 people at the same time. So far, two concerts that will take place in the National Stadium have been confirmed. Madonna will perform on August 1 as part of her MDNA Tour, followed by Coldplay on September 19.

 National Stadium construction started in 2008 and finished in November 2011. The stadium has a unique retractable PVC roof which unfolds from a nest on a needle suspended above the centre of the pitch. The retractable roof is similar to BC Place in Vancouver, BC, Canada and Commerzbank-Arena in Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany. The national stadium is due to host the opening match (a group match) between  Poland vs Greece, remaining 2 group matches that is Poland vs Russia and Russia vs Greece, a quarterfinal, and a semifinal of the UEFA Euro 2012 hosted jointly by Poland and Ukraine.

Along with the stadium the plans include constructing a general purpose indoor sports arena with places for 20,000 spectators, an Olympic-size swimming pool for 4,000 spectators, an aquatic park, hotel, conference center, as well as catering and service facilities. The construction will be followed by a complete refurbishment of the nearby Warsaw Stadium railway station and the opening of a subway station and a segment of the second line of the Warsaw Metro linking the area with the city center. The grounds are owned by the national government, thus the investment will be financed by it, rather than the city of Warsaw.

How To Get To The National Stadium

Warsaw-Fryderyk Chopin Airport is 8km south of the city centre. There are several train stations, but most travellers need only concern themselves with Warszawa Centralna in the heart of the city – but please note it is not always the final destination. There are direct daily services to Wroclaw (five hours), Gdansk (4.5 hours), Poznan (3-4 hours), Lviv (14 hours, though quicker if you change) and Kyiv (15 hours). There are two bus terminals: Warszawa Stadion serves east-bound destinations while Warszawa Zachodnia handles all other routes, including to Gdansk and Wroclaw (both take 5-7 hours).

Warsaw's integrated public transport system includes buses, trams and the metro. The main routes run from 5.00 to 23.00 every day, thereafter night buses link Emilii Plater Street in the centre to major suburbs though on Friday and Saturday the metro runs until 2.00. It is best to buy tickets before boarding – look out for signs saying 'Sprzedaż Biletów ZTM'. Single journeys cost 2.40zł and there are also tickets for 90 minutes/one day/three days/week (6/9.60/14.40/32zł).

Bandung is very crowded, thats why a space for parking slot will be rare, mostly empty space has been used to build the house. After 12 AM, we leave this place and head to another location.
