Hello, everyone! Since transportation is the most difficult part of my trip, i would love to give the latest information about my trip, in case anyone have the same problem as mine, because normally i spend too much time fooling around Internet but find something useless or it is long time ago, as I'm not dare hitchhiking and i don't have so much money, i think this would be useful for someone like me, if possible, i always choose the cheapest way to travel, or you can take it as my record of transportation, this article will update until i finish my trip. :)

update: because of my stupidness, i didn't save money later.
