Egypt

Israel

Palestine

Jordan

 

 

Home sweet home

 

Surprises and something new for me:

1. Guide gw di Israel org Palestina, agamanya khatolik, calon pastor

2. Ternyata gue ke Palestina juga (Bethlehem & Jericho)

3. Di Palestine ada kurang lebih 20% orang Kristen Protestan dan Khatolik.

4. Di mesir juga ternyata banyak, tp cuma 10% dr populasi.

5. Ternyata, ada 2 versi data tentang dimana yesus di salib, tp gw lebih percaya sama datanya org Anglican Inggris krn lebih masuk akal...

5. Di sungai Jordan, tempat tepatnya Yesus dibabtis jaman dulu sekarang penuh dengan ranjau darat bekas perang Israel dengan Jordan

6. Ternyata gue sanggup mendaki gunung sinai, hehehe

7. Ternyata makanan2 di middle east enaaakk....

 

Most amazing experience: Climbing Mt.Sinai to the highest top of it (4000 m)

Things bought: Jerusalem cross and david star

Feelings and thoughts after the pilgrimage:

1. I feel sad, because of the war

2. I prayed more often, for the world peace (And I feel like Miss Universe already)

3. I stop stereotyping the Jews and the Arabs, and Middle East in general

4. I'll be back to Middle East again, one day, not with a tour, but backpacking (I already spot a nice youth hostel in Jerusalem's old town)

5. Setelah ke Holyland, ada lah 20% pendalaman rohani dan keimanan buat gue, dan sisanya pendalaman sejarah... and now I hope for peace in the middle east...
