Millions May Lose Unemployment Benefits This Month—How Likely Is Additional Aid?

New Post has been published on https://perfectirishgifts.com/millions-may-lose-unemployment-benefits-this-month-how-likely-is-additional-aid/

Millions May Lose Unemployment Benefits This Month—How Likely Is Additional Aid?

A record number of Americans have lost work since the coronavirus pandemic struck, and more than 20 million are still claiming unemployment benefits. For them, jobless aid can be critical, helping to cover the bills and other expenses while they look for work.

But millions are at risk of losing unemployment benefits soon. The Century Foundation estimates that as many as 12 million Americans will be cut off from jobless benefits on December 26. And more may exhaust their unemployment claims before then. What extended state benefits could be available for them? And could more federal aid be on the way?

Millions may stop getting unemployment checks at the end of this month.

Who’s at risk of losing unemployment benefits?

Americans who’ve been unemployed for several months are at the greatest risk of running out of unemployment benefits—and that number has grown sharply in recent months.

The number of Americans who’ve been unemployed for more than 26 weeks—the maximum duration of regular state unemployment benefits in most states—has climbed from 1.1 million people in February, pre-pandemic, to 3.9 million in November. Nearly four in 10 workers collecting unemployment benefits last month have been filing claims for at least 27 weeks, according to the Labor Department.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities’ chief economist Chad Stone notes that two-thirds of the Labor Department’s reported number of unemployment insurance recipients are now in temporary programs that were created by the CARES Act in March and that expire just after Christmas.

That includes those who have exhausted all of their regular state unemployment benefits and are eligible to get up to 13 weeks of federally funded Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation as well as those who have lost their jobs and don’t qualify for regular state benefits, but are getting federal benefits under the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program. That program was created by the CARES Act for those who have lost their jobs, or who are self-employed and have lost income, as a result of the pandemic and who aren’t normally eligible for regular unemployment benefits in their state (like gig workers, for example).

Why could Americans lose unemployment benefits in December?

The Century Foundation, an independent think tank, found that 4.6 million people will stop getting payments through the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program. It projects another 7.3 million workers will lose their benefits as Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) winds down. Unless Congress acts to extend the two programs, they will expire at year’s end and pay out their last benefits the week ending December 26.

The Brookings Foundation just released estimates that were even higher. The nonprofit public policy organization projects approximately 9.5 million will lose unemployment compensation on December 26 due to PUA’s expiration. And about half-a-million will lose all access to benefits because of the PEUC’s expiration since they live in a state where extended benefits have also triggered off.

In addition, it says approximately 870,000 will lose unemployment compensation once they exhaust regular unemployment benefits because they live in a state where extended benefits have triggered off. About 680,000 will lose unemployment compensation once they exhaust extended benefits. And another 2.2 million will be at risk of losing unemployment compensation once they exhaust regular benefits because they live in a state where extended benefits are available now, but where those benefits are likely to trigger off within weeks.

Why are extended benefits unavailable in some states?

Displaced workers who lose those federal PEUC benefits this month may still have access to extended unemployment benefits. The problem is that extended benefits turn on or off in states depending on different economic triggers. The benefits are turned on when state-wide unemployment rates or the share of people collecting unemployment benefits meet certain thresholds. And some states don’t meet the threshold or have opted not to use one of the two triggers.

According to the nonprofit Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which has analyzed state benefits, as of the end of November, the District of Columbia and 14 states offer up to 20 weeks of extended unemployment benefits in addition to 26 weeks of regular benefits (and the federal benefits through the CARES Act): Alaska, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington.

Another 17 states currently offer 26 weeks or regular benefits and up to 13 weeks of additional extended benefits: Arizona, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands offer the same.

South Carolina offers 20 weeks of regular unemployment and 10 weeks of extended benefits. North Carolina now provides 12 weeks of regular unemployment and six weeks of extended benefits.

But many other states do not currently offer extended benefits. That could be because their unemployment rates aren’t high enough to trigger them (the state’s 13-week average insured unemployment rate must be above 5 percent). Or it may be because they haven’t opted for the additional voluntary trigger, which provides for extended benefits when the total unemployment rate is above 6.5 percent and is at least 10 percent higher than either of the prior two years.

In addition, some states that have triggered extended benefits on now may no longer offer them after this month. Under the terms of the CARES Act, full federal funding for extended benefits will also expire on December 26, 2020. After that, the federal share will revert to 50 percent. With the end of full federal support for the extended benefits, some states may opt out of the optional trigger. Others may find their unemployment rates have dropped enough that they no longer meet the threshold.

The Century Foundation, an independent think tank, projects that only 17 states, and the District of Columbia will still have the extended benefits program in place at the end of December. The states are Alaska, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Washington. That leaves many others without additional income support after the federal aid expires.

How likely is an extension of benefits this month?

Calls for additional federal aid have been growing. “With the economy still in a deep hole, policymakers face an imperative to enact a relief and stimulus package quickly to support the recovery and ensure that millions of unemployment insurance recipients don’t lose their benefits in the coming weeks,” wrote economist Chad Stone last week.

But how likely is it that benefits will be extended before this year ends?

Many remain hopeful that targeted legislation can still be passed by the end of this month to extend unemployment aid. In a recent report, Goldman Sachs GS , for example, said it expects Congress to pass a small fiscal package in December that could extend the expanded unemployment insurance benefits that are set to expire.

Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, as well as members of the outgoing administration, are in agreement that more aid should be extended to those who’ve lost their income—including the possibility of another round of supplemental federal unemployment benefits in addition to the extension of federal programs.

On Friday, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” that “we should provide some additional payouts for unemployment assistance.” He indicated his support for another round of supplemental federal unemployment benefits again, too, “upping [unemployment] assistance by, you know, let’s say $300 a week, extended out…I’m saying at least several months, maybe till the end of the first quarter.”

Kudlow indicated some progress in talks to provide additional aid to those who are out of work, saying “Talk is good and we may be moving forward.”

Democratic Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, added more words of encouragement at her weekly press conference on Friday, saying “there is momentum” in talks.

Whether that will translate into passed legislation this month, though, remains to be seen.

Some notes about the Zootopia Verses for a few characters

Ma Tembo is the city’s mayor and deals with all the managerial issues that come with that. She formerly taught at St Loxodont’s High School in Savannah Central. She has a large extended family, and Chama and Mtoto are her grandsons.

Makuu is the head of the Crocodile Family and chief of the Rainforest District’s Police Department. In his youth he was a professional wrestler before moving onto the force. There have been some shady rumours about his first term as chief, though things seem to have recently smoothed over.

Mzingo is one of the best criminal defence lawyers there is. Head of the law firm known as Parliment, he has been hired by Scar on the down-low to get the hyenas out of trouble when they need it. He’s incredibly rich.

Chama was recently forced out of his Grandmother’s house after embarrassing her in public and threatening her campaign. She offers him support (however limited), and he lives with his friends in an apartment above Rafiki’s medical practice. They all have jobs at Big Springs Indoor Waterpark.

Pua recently retired as Chief of Rainforest District Police, after his nephew Makuu called for his resignation. He lives alone in a very lavish mansion upstate: his career was clean, but that’s not what his mountains of spare cash seems to suggest.

#v:Zootopia #Ma Tembo #Makuu #Mzingo #Chama #Pua #/not much to say about the others #/Kenge is a grouchy barowner he makes really REALLY strong drinks (venom)#/#/King Sokwe is the CEO of Gorilla Inc #/Makucha is a hired assassin #/might make a separate post for the Lion Guard kids

Traveler’s Guide to Japan (Low Budget!) – Part 4: Kanazawa-Shirakawago-Takayama

10 Januari 2018

Kami bangun pagi-pagi buta untuk mengejar kereta menuju Kanazawa yang berangkat sebelum pukul 8. Sejak pukul 6 pagi kami sudah keluar dari apato dan segera menuju ke Osaka Station karena kereta yang akan kami naiki, JR Limited Express Thunderbird, berangkat dari stasiun itu.

Saat keluar dari apato sambil membawa gendongan besar carrier seberat lebih dari 10kg, ada Ojiisan yang sedang berjalan kaki tiba-tiba menyapa,”ohayou!”

Saya sapa balik dengan kata yang sama ^^ Japanese are really friendly.

Oh ya, sebenarnya saya sedikit menyesali keputusan saya membawa carrier. Sebelumnya saya pernah berlibur backpackeran juga ke beberapa tempat sambil membawa carrier, sama-sama mobile-nya dengan trip ke Jepang kali ini, bahkan berpindah negara beberapa kali. Tapi perbedaannya adalah saat itu carrier saya tidak diisi dengan barang seberat ini, mungkin maksimal cuma 7kg. Jadi kalau kalian sangat mobile dengan barang bawaan yang banyak, sebaiknya memang memakai koper supaya tidak susah sewaktu berpindah-pindah tempat.

Sesampainya di Osaka station, kereta Thunderbird sudah tiba di peron. Kami langsung naik dan mencari tempat duduk kosong. Kereta ini berbeda dengan kereta dalam kota, atau antar-kota berjarak pendek. Tempat duduknya menghadap sesuai arah kereta berjalan, bukan hadap samping macam angkot. Seat-nya empuk dan nyaman, disertai penghangat. Kursi-kursi kereta di Jepang memang memiliki penghangat di tempat duduk masing-masing yang biasanya dinyalakan saat winter. Kereta ini juga mulus jalannya, getarannya lebih halus dibanding kereta lokal.

Beruntung, Osaka station adalah stasiun pertama pemberangkatan JR Thunderbird ini sehingga seat-nya masih banyak yang kosong. Kami bergerak ke arah utara. Dari balik kaca kereta, saya melihat rumah-rumah penduduk yang berbentuk serupa, berjajar, lalu berubah menjadi kawasan industri dengan pabrik yang cerobongnya mengeluarkan asap keabuan, kemudian berubah lagi menjadi sebuah danau yang sangat amat cantik berwarna biru dengan pantulan sinar matahari di atasnya.

Ternyata itu adalah Lake Biwa. Sebuah danau besar yang membentang di Shiga Prefecture. Sebenarnya saya sempat ingin memasukkan danau ini ke dalam itinerary tetapi lokasi dan transportasi yang agak susah dijangkau membuat saya mengurungkan niat.

Beberapa saat setelah melewati Lake Biwa, pemandangan berubah menjadi pedesaan dengan rumah-rumah penduduk yang jaraknya saling berjauhan. Tak lama, saya melihat tumpukan salju di sepanjang jalan, di atas atap rumah-rumah, pohon, dan mobil yang diparkir di depan rumah penduduk. Lalu perlahan salju mulai turun. That was my first indirect encounter with snow fall. Ternyata salju yang turun sangat lebat.

Saya dan Alvi mulai cemas karena pagi itu kami sudah memesan kimono untuk dipakai berjalan-jalan di Kanazawa. Sebenarnya sih, weather forecast sudah mengatakan akan turun salju bercampur hujan air di Kanazawa, tapi kami nekat.

Kami sampai di Kanazawa sekitar pukul setengah 12 siang. Benar saja, di luar cuacanya buruk. Saljunya deras, gede-gede, dan bercampur air. Tidak terbayang betapa dinginnya hari itu, kalau tidak salah, suhunya drop sampai 0° celcius. Sebenarnya rencana awal kami adalah menaruh tas di loker, berjalan-jalan ke beberapa obyek wisata, lalu pergi ke hostel menjelang malam. Tapi entah kenapa akhirnya kami memutuskan untuk menuju hostel terlebih dahulu.

Begitu keluar stasiun, werrr salju dan air hujan langsung menghempas ke arah badan dan wajah. Kami semua basah kuyup. Bagian dalam sepatu boots saya terasa basah padahal sudah anti-air, sepertinya genangan air dan lelehan salju masuk melalui celah-celah jahitan di antara sol dan badan sepatu. Yang saya bayangkan sepanjang jalan cuma 2: berada dalam ruangan yang kering dan hangat serta ganti baju kering! Ujung-ujung jari tangan dan kaki saya sudah mati rasa. Ditambah membawa beban seberat 10kg di pundak, rasa-rasanya mood saya ikut drop sampai titik terbawah.

Setelah kurang lebih berjalan kaki 30 menit, kami tiba di hostel. Entah memang sepertinya hari itu semesta berkonspirasi untuk mengerjai kami. A series of unfortunate events occurred. Hostelnya under renovation saudara-saudaraaa :”” padahal saya sudah membookingnya jauh-jauh hari dan saya tidak mendapat email apapun terkait hal tersebut. Memo yang ditempel di pintu masuk mengatakan kalau renovasinya berlangsung sampai tanggal 10 Januari 2018, tepat di hari kami sampai. Di sana juga tertulis kalau kami bisa menghubungi sister hotelnya atau pihak owner dan manager hostel untuk emergency call. Saya sempat ingin bertanya ke dalam, tapi yang terlihat hanyalah bapak-bapak tukang yang entah saya tidak yakin bisa berbahasa Inggris atau tidak. Karena tidak punya pulsa untuk menelpon, akhirnya kami memutuskan untuk pergi ke sister hotel yang ada di utara stasiun, yang artinya kami harus kembali lagi berjalan ke sana. Lengkap sudah penderitaan hari itu.

Di sepanjang jalan menuju ke stasiun, terjadi miskomunikasi di antara kami. We got a little fight. Suasana berubah makin runyam. Dalam hati saya sempat berharap untuk pulang balik ke Surabaya lol (ceritanya lagi PMS). Sesampainya di stasiun, Alvi mencoba untuk menelpon emergency call hostel kami menggunakan telepon umum. Yes, they do exist thank God. Setelah menghubungi pihak manager/owner, ternyata kami bisa check in hari itu pukul 3 sore :’) cukup menyesal kenapa kami tidak stick to the plan untuk berjalan-jalan dulu tadi. Yak, karena sudah terjadi maka terjadilah. Acara berlibur harus tetap berlanjut!

Akhirnya kami menitipkan tas ke bagian penitipan tas yang ada di sebelah ruang loker. Kami titipkan kesana karena ukuran carrier kami cukup besar. Kalau tidak salah biayanya 500 yen. Setelah menitipkan carrier, saya membeli 4 buah Kanazawa Loop Bus Pass seharga 500 yen per orang. Pass ini berlaku untuk seharian penuh berputar-putar mengelilingi beberapa obyek wisata di Kanazawa.

Karena masih badai, akhirnya saya membatalkan pemesanan kimono. Kami segera menaiki bus yang menuju ke arah Higashi Chaya District. Sebuah area dengan rumah-rumah bergaya tradisional di kanan dan kiri jalan. Beberapa dari rumah tersebut adalah teahouse tempat geisha tampil. Sekarang sih beberapa dari rumahnya sudah beralih fungsi menjadi toko dan restaurant.

Kami masuk ke salah satu rumah tradisional beralas tatami yang dibuka untuk umum, dan gratis hehe. Lumayan, ada heater yang bisa menghangatkan badan.

Badai siang itu berangsur mereda. Tiba-tiba turun gumpalan-gumpalan putih besar dari langit. Yes it was a snowfall (kali ini tanpa air!).

Pemandangan siang itu sangat membekas di hati saya. Perlahan-lahan semua perasaan negatif akibat kejadian-kejadian yang sebelumnya saya hadapi berubah menjadi perasaan hangat, terharu. Kami pun berfoto-foto di bawah guyuran salju yang menyerupai hujan cotton candy. Suasana kembali cair, Alhamdulillah.

Kami sempat ngobrol dengan obaasan dan ojiisan penjaga rumah tersebut, roaming karena mereka ngobrol bahasa Inggris bercampur bahasa Jepang. Tapi kami bisa merasakan kehangatan dan keramahan mereka. Saat hendak pergi, kami meminjam payung bekas pengunjung yang tertinggal yang memang bisa dipinjam untuk umum. Bisa dikembalikan saat di stasiun (yang ujung-ujungnya tidak kami kembalikan karena tidak tahu tempatnya dimana, gomen ne). Cuaca yang tidak bersahabat dan hari yang semakin gelap membuat kami terpaksa urung mengunjungi tempat lain. Padahal Kanazawa adalah salah satu kota dengan banyak lokasi wisata yang cantik seperti Kenrokuen Garden, Kanazawa Castle, Samurai District, dan Omicho Market. Suatu hari nanti saya ingin kembali lagi ke kota ini.

Hari sudah sore. Kami sangat lapar dan kedinginan. Atas usul mba Firly, seorang mahasiswa doktoral yang tinggal di Kanazawa yang saya kenal lewat instagram, akhirnya kami pergi ke sebuah restauran Italy yang meskipun bukan restauran halal, tapi ada beberapa menu yang tidak mengandung babi ataupun alkohol. Restauran tersebut berada di dalam Kanazawa station, namanya Capricciosa.

Waitressnya super duper helpful. Dia tahu kalau kami muslim dan menjelaskan dengan sabar (menggunakan bahasa Jepang) mana saja makanan yang bisa kami pesan. Beberapa kali si emba bilang,”oiru”, yang ternyata maksudnya adalah minyak babi sehingga tidak bisa kami makan. Akhirnya saya memesan sepiring pasta seafood yang berisi kerang, cumi, dan udang dengan saus tomat. Sumpah rasanya beneran enak, mungkin karena efek lapar dan lelah lahir batin. Seafoodnya terasa sangat fresh dan empuk. Kami juga membeli seloyang pizza seafood untuk dimakan di malam hari.

Puas makan, saya mengambil carrier di tempat penitipan, mengambil barang seperlunya, lalu menitipkan sisanya di loker seharga 500 yen per hari. Sengaja saya lakukan karena saya malas membawa barang berat-berat ke hostel di cuaca sedingin itu, apalagi kami hanya menginap semalam saja.

Kami sampai di hostel menjelang malam. Oh iya, nama hostelnya Neighbors Inn Kanazawa. Setelah check in, kami langsung masuk ke kamar untuk menghangatkan diri. Hostelnya sangat hangat dan nyaman. Ranjangnya berbentuk bunk bed 2 tingkat. Saya memilih untuk tidur di lantai beralaskan bed cover karena kami hanya memesan 2 kamar, tapi itu saja sudah sangat nyaman bagi saya. Kamar mandinya sharing, lengkap dengan shower dan meja rias disertai hair dryer. Ada juga kamar mandi yang isinya bath tub tapi tidak saya coba.

Pemiliknya sangat helpful, mereka menawarkan untuk mengeringkan boots kami yang basah dengan dryer khusus sepatu. Tapi karena efek keringnya sangat lama akhirnya saya gondol hair dryer yang ada di kamar mandi untuk mengeringkan sepatu saya hahaha. Di sini ada mesin cuci koin (300 yen untuk sekali cuci) serta dryer (100 yen) yang bisa dipakai untuk umum. Saya mencuci beberapa baju saya yang basah di sana. Malam itu saya tidur dengan pulas karena lelah.

11 Januari 2018

Kami bangun pagi-pagi sekali untuk sarapan. Hostel ini menyediakan free breakfast berupa roti tawar dan berbagai macam selai. Ada juga kopi dan teh yang bebas diseduh oleh pengunjung yang menginap. Saya makan setangkup, lalu membungkus sisanya untuk dimakan di perjalanan.

Hari itu kami memang akan berpindah kota lagi menuju ke Shirakawago. Kami berjalan kembali ke stasiun Kanazawa. Fyi, stasiun ini memiliki arsitektur yang sangat cantik, namun sayang karena cuaca tidak bersahabat jadi kurang bisa dinikmati. Di perjalanan balik menuju stasiun, salju turun dengan lebat. Payung bening yang kami beli di Family Mart berkali-kali terbalik. Mobil dan jalanan tertutup salju.

Herannya, begitu sampai di stasiun ternyata sudah banyak dedek-dedek berseragam SMP dan SMA yang mau berangkat sekolah. Mereka tidak memakai coat ataupun longjohn -_- katanya sih, memang beginilah cuaca normal Kanazawa di saat winter. So I assumed that they had already become used to the cold weather.

Saya sudah memesan tiket Nohi Bus secara online sejak 3 minggu sebelum kami berangkat ke Jepang. Itupun saya sempat kehabisan tiket untuk pulangnya, yang mustinya jam 3 sore saya undur menjadi jam setengah 6 sore. Tiket bus Kanazawa-Shirakawago dijual seharga 1850 yen. Kira-kira diperlukan waktu 1,5 jam menggunakan bus untuk sampai ke Shirakawago. Kenapa tidak menggunakan kereta? Karena memang tidak ada kereta yang langsung melayani sampai Shirakawago. Mungkin karena lokasinya yang ada di antara pegunungan dan kontur jalan naik-turun sehingga tidak ada jalur kereta di wilayah ini.

Di tengah jalan ternyata ada kemacetan cukup panjang. Saya tidak tahu apa alasannya karena supir bus memberi peringatan dalam bahasa Jepang. Seharusnya kami sampai sana pukul setengah 10, tapi karena macet, akhirnya kami sampai sekitar pukul setengah 12 siang.

Shirakawago adalah sebuah desa yang masuk ke dalam World Heritage UNESCO karena keunikannya. Rumah-rumahnya disebut sebagai gassho zukuri karena memiliki atap yang menyerupai biksu Buddha yang sedang berdoa. Shirakawago adalah winter wonderland bagi kami. Semua sudut tampak cantik. Salju bertumpukan di sisi kanan dan kiri jalan, di atap rumah, bahkan di atas sawah milik penduduk sehingga kalian harus hati-hati agar tidak masuk ke dalam kubangan yang tertutup salju.

Dari halte utama, kami menitipkan tas di ruang penitipan khusus seharga 600 yen karena loker tas sudah penuh. Kemudian kami berjalan menuju halte shuttle bus yang akan membawa kami menuju Shiroyama View Point di atas bukit. Busnya sangat mini dan kami harus berdesakan di dalam. Untuk sekali naik, biayanya 200 yen.

Sesampainya di view point, saya bisa melihat keseluruhan desa yang dibalut oleh salju. Pegunungan dan perbukitan yang membentang di sekeliling desa juga tampak putih berselimut salju. What a view.

Setelah puas memandang keindahan dari atas bukit, kami turun kembali menggunakan shuttle bus yang sama.

Kami segera menjelajahi isi desa. Rumah-rumahnya terbuat dari kayu yang tampak masih kokoh walau usianya sudah 250 tahun. Banyak lahan yang saya ketahui sebagai sawah yang juga tertutup salju.

Hari itu cuacanya cerah sehingga kami bisa puas bermain salju tanpa harus merasa kedinginan. Thanks to Randy for taking this super lovely candid (but not candid) picture of me playing with snow ^^

Kita bisa masuk ke beberapa rumah tersebut namun sayangnya harus bayar. Demi menghemat yen, kami hanya masuk ke dalam rumah yang gratis saja.

Ini adalah sudut favorit saya di seantero desa. Sebuah pertigaan kecil dengan rumah kayu bertingkat 2 yang menghadap ke arah sungai Shogawa, sungai tercantik yang pernah saya lihat seumur hidup saya. Bayangkan punya rumah dengan kamar tidur yang jendelanya menghadap ke arah sungai secantik ini. Tiap bangun pagi bawaannya mungkin terharu karena melihat pemandangan seindah ini.

Ingin rasanya berlama-lama di sini, tapi ternyata sudah pukul setengah 5 sore. Kami harus segera berjalan menuju halte utama untuk melanjutkan perjalanan menuju kota selanjutnya, Takayama. Harga tiket bus Shirakawago-Takayama adalah sebesar 2470 yen.

Seharusnya bus yang saya pesan secara online berangkat pukul setengah 6 sore. Tapi saya melihat ada bus lain dari perusahaan yang sama. Saya tunjukkan tiket saya ke petugasnya, ternyata dia bilang kalau saya bisa ganti jam kalau saya menghubungi pihak loket. Saya pun bergegas menuju loket dan meminta pergantian jam. Alhamdulillah kami diperbolehkan naik bus yang berangkat 30 menit lebih awal daripada seharusnya.

Kami sampai di Takayama pukul 7 lewat 15. Sesampainya di stasiun Takayama, kami segera menuju kantor Nohi bus karena kami berencana mengganti jadwal bus kami besok yang menuju ke Tokyo. Seharusnya kami menghabiskan waktu sampai besok sore di Takayama, tapi karena takut terlalu malam, akhirnya jadwal keberangkatannya kami majukan menjadi pukul 8 pagi. Harga tiket busnya adalah 6020 yen. Takayama hanya menjadi persinggahan untuk tidur saja.

Takayama Country Hotel terletak tepat di depan stasiun/terminal Takayama. Kami segera check in dan masuk ke kamar masing-masing. Minusnya hotel ini adalah, kamar dan kasurnya sempit. Kasurnya agak keras mirip kasur orthopedic. Saya maklum, di Jepang memang rata-rata kamar hotelnya berukuran mini karena harga tanah di sini mahal. Tapi hostel kami di Kanazawa bahkan lebih luas daripada ini hehe.

Malam itu kami makan malam di Hidatakayama Ekimaeken. Saya memesan ramen yang rasanya agak hambar, kurang cocok di lidah saya. Seporsinya seharga 1200 yen. Yang jadi favorit adalah gurita goreng. Walaupun agak kenyal tapi enak dan fresh. Waiter dan waitress disana sangat helpful, mereka bilang,”arukohoru,” yang ternyata maksudnya adalah alkohol saat kami mencoba untuk memesan salah satu menu di sana.

Setelah makan kami pun kembali ke hotel dan bersiap untuk perjalanan besok ke Tokyo. Ada sedikit rasa menyesal karena saya batal berkeliling kota ini. Akhirnya saya dan Alvi memutuskan untuk bangun sejak subuh untuk sekedar berputar-putar kota sebelum kami berangkat ke Tokyo pukul 8 besok.

12 Januari 2018

Sejak subuh saya dan Alvi sudah siap untuk berkeliling kota. Jatu dan Randy memutuskan untuk tidak ikut. Takayama di saat subuh terasa sepi, semua toko tutup (yaiyalah). Setelah diperhatikan, kota ini terasa sebagai perpaduan budaya lama dan modern. Di beberapa sudut kota ada rumah yang bergaya tradisional, tapi beberapa di antaranya juga tampak modern.

Ada satu hal yang menarik saat saya mencoba menyeberang jalan. Lampu penyeberangan untuk pejalan kaki sudah berwarna hijau. Saat saya hendak menyeberang, tiba-tiba ada mobil melintas. Entah memang karena mengantuk, atau memang tidak melihat lampu traffic light sehingga dia melintas saat lampu masih merah. Begitu tahu kalau saya mau menyeberang, pengemudinya langsung menundukkan kepala berkali-kali dari balik kaca jendela mobil, berusaha meminta maaf kepada saya.

Walau kami berdua hanya berjalan-jalan sebentar sekitar 1 jam, tapi saya sudah cukup senang karena berhasil melihat Takayama lebih dekat. Kami pun segera kembali ke hotel, mengambil carrier, check out, lalu berjalan menyeberangi jalan menuju stasiun Takayama untuk menaiki bus menuju ke Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Bersambung…….

Located in Pua district about an hour north of Nan, Wang Sila Lang is a long stretch of dramatic river gorge on the Koon river. The best time to be there is during a dry season when the water is low enough to reveal the entire ravine.

Eight cyclists hurt as tour bus CRASHES in Thailand

Eight people were hurt, one seriously, when a tour bus carrying cyclists to Nan skidded into a mountain slope at a curve in #Thailand on Saturday.

The accident occurred on the Nan-Ban Luang-Bang Song Khaew Road in tambon Sanian late Saturday morning, said Charasphan Arunwong, head of the provincial disaster prevention and mitigation office. The bus, with Bangkok licence plates, was found lying on its side when police and rescue workers arrived at the scene. Driver Yutthapong Yangklang, 32, was badly hurt. Seven passengers sustained minor injuries. All were given first aid before being taken to Nan Hospital. A police investigation found that the tour bus, carrying 32 cyclists from Samut Prakan to Doi Phukha in Pua district, was using GPS to navigate. However, the system guided the bus to Ban Luang district. The driver turned around to head for Muang district, which would lead him to Pua district. While travelling alongside a mountainous slope, the bus suddenly developed brake failure at a sharp curve. The driver swerved right to stop the bus, which hit the slope. Police have advised visitors wanting to travel to Nan to ask for directions from local residents or consult relevant agencies about routes if they are unfamiliar with the area. - Bangkok Post – You can follow BangkokJack on Instagram, Twitter & Reddit.

Synchronize Fest 2019 Day 1

Setelah vakum nggak dateng ke Synchronize 2018, tahun ini gue memutuskan buat nonton. Tapi kali ini lebih gokil, line up belum keluar (literally beneran nggak ada gambaran siapa aja band yang bakal ngisi line up-nya) tapi tiket 3 days pass udah di tangan yang tentunya dengan harga 2 kali lipat lebih murah dari harga normal. Mantap!

Synchronize Fest (yang nanti bakal gue singkat jadi SynchFest) berlangsung dari tanggal 4-6 Oktober 2019. Gue super excited karena band yang jadi wish list gue dari jaman SMA (nggak pernah kesampean nonton karena lokasi venue-nya yang jauh), secara bersamaan manggung di SynchFest.

Tapi H-2 acara, tepatnya hari Rabu, tiba-tiba aja gue demam tinggi, padahal siangnya gue masih cekakak cekikikan di kantor, pas pulang dan ngukur suhu badan ternyata udah 39.4 derajat aja. H-1 pun demam nggak kunjung turun, udah hopeless aja dan siap-siap jual tiket, tapi untungnya tuhan mendengar doa gue, hari H, suhu badan beneran kembali normal walaupun masih agak nggak stabil ini kepala, tapi gue nekat aja berangkat Bekasi-Kemayoran PP :’)

DAY 1

Hari pertama dibuka dengan nonton Burgerkill. Band yang gue tunggu-tunggu banget di Synchronize Fest 2019 ini, Angsa & Serigala malah main sore dan ya jadinya cuma bisa streaming di youtube (beneran rezeki banget, nggak bisa nonton di venue, tp ada live streaming mereka, gpp udah cukup seneng).

Burgerkill, band metal yang terakhir gue tonton tahun 2013/2014 karena kebetulan manggung di kampus eug setelahnya nga pernah nonton-nonton lagi. Mereka masih tetep keren dan ya ampun atas ilmu kesotoyan gue, gue mereka kualitas scream-annya Vicky, vocalis Burgerkill masih keren aja.

Kelar Burgerkill, lari ke Forest Stage, lanjut nonton Kuntoaji. Udah diprediksi sih kalau yang nonton bakal membludak. Ternyata bener aja, bahkan masuk wilayah stage-nya aja susah, mesti nembus lautan manusia yang mau terapi sama lagu-lagunya Mazkun. Karena emang Forest Stage ini bukan panggung utama, jadi gue agak nggak begitu nyaman nonton Kuntoaji, bahkan cuma bisa nikmatin 2 lagu aja, sisanya skip. Lingkup stage-nya nggak oke buat nampung massa Kuntoaji yang banyak itu. Agak kecewa sih. Yaudah lah akhirnya gue dan temen cabut aja ke stage lain.

Pindah ke District Fest. Kalo kata gue dan temen gue, stage terbelakang. Paling jauh dan terasing dari stage-stage yang lain. Konsep panggungnya cukup artsy. Cucok banget buat intimate concert gitu. Kali ini kami nonton Ardhito Pramono. Duh, ekspektasinya nyampe. Beneran seadem itu dengerin Ardhito nyanyi. Musik Jazz itu kenapa ya selalu bikin mood gue jadi membaik. Agak kecewa sama stage sebelumnya, tp langsung dibayar lunas sama penampilan Ardhito Pramono. Best!

Kelar Ardhito Pramono, ngintip-ngintip dikit ke stage lain. Jajan-jajan lucu di sekitaran venue. Sempet nyuwun sewu juga ke stage-nya Pamungkas yang merupakan stage yang sama pas Kuntoaji perform. Anjay rame amat. Bahkan gue beneran nggak bisa masuk wilayah stage dan nggak keliatan samsek yang mana yang perform. Rip tubuh cilikku.

Yaudah kami akhirnya kabur lagi ke District Stage. Performer yang paling kami tunggu-tunggu di Day 1 ini. JAMRUD! Gils, ini masih soundcheck aja udah rame bangettttt. Beneran nggak keliatan panggungnya. Sad untuk kesekian kalinya. Dari lagu pertama riuhan penonton nyanyi bareng Mas Kris nggak berenti-berenti. Lirik-lirik nyeleneh khas Jamrud membawa keriaan di tengah penonton. Kami ngeblend aja gitu sama penonton lain walaupun ya kenal juga kagak wey. Kepuasan gue setelah nonton Jamrud adalah 100% puas!!!! Seru parahhhhh. Nyanyi Surti dan Tejo, rame-rame ngacungin jari tengah yang, “kapan lagi bisa begini cuy lol”

Day 1 aja udah seseru ini. How about Day 2?
