Welcoming Dinner (August 5,2018)

          After organizing our things at the dorm the university driver fetched us to go for the "Welcoming Dinner" that the University of Sarjanawiyata staffs prepared. At that night we met a lot of people like Mr. Nanang the Dean of Education of the university, Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Rose and the other heads of the department. We had an open conversation, they asked us to tell something about ourselves and our family. Same also with them, they told us a lot. Also we discussed some things about our program and the activities that we're going to do while we are in their university.
          A warm welcome, indeed! Personally I am not expecting this kind of dinner party for us. I thought after organizing our things we will just stay at our room and take a rest but they gave us a warm welcome. Thank you so much, UST Family!
          Oppps... This is not the end. After the dinner party, we asked Ms. Kristina, one of our buddies to help us changed our money into indonesian money. So after that, Kristina told us that we need to go to the supermarket to buy the things we need. We went there, and picked some things that we need. And when we are in the cashier she paid the groceries that we picked. Again, we're shocked! So, we asked her "why are you paying for our things?" And then she replied "Mrs. Yu gave me the money to buy you some things that you need. UST family, we are so grateful that we were assigned at your university. Such a good example to everyone!

First Day at SDK Sang Timur School (August 7,2018)

August 7, 2018 was my first day at SDK Sang Timur School. Another warm welcome for us! We had a meeting with all the staffs of the school. The teachers are so kind and caring. One of the teachers sang a Filipino song and I really enjoyed it.  After the meeting, they introduced us to every class. The children are so sweet. And I really appreciate it so much. We also have a short dialogue with the other teachers and told us about the the children and how they handle a class. The SDK Sang Timur School is a inclusive school. So they are accepting a child needing a special care and attention. They brief us about on how to handle the children who needs a special care and attention.

Finally! It's Time to Go Home! :)

“I learned so much!” The countless things I learn during an internship abroad can be overwhelming. As an intern abroad I soaked up details about a new culture, a new city and also your profession. Since the internships last for a month, I have a more nuanced understanding of the culture and city than mere travelers. I will come back home wiser and with a new way of seeing the world. Thank you so much UST  and SDK Family! I will be forever grateful for this once in a lifetime experiences! :) I learned so much from all of you!

Second City Tour (Prambanan Temple & Hutan Pinus)

Image
Prambanan Temple Last August 11 we visited one of the famous temples in Indonesia. I, Jumille, Rere, and Nurul had a great time together. Life was meant for good friends and great adventures! All the love!!! Hutan Pinus Had a great time here! The weather is good and the place is a must visit place when you are planning to visit Yogyakarta.  There's a funny story behind these beautiful pictures! :) First let me tell you that we ride a motorcycle just to get there. So here's the story, after going to the Prambanan Temple we decided to go the Hutan Pinus. But guess what? We don't know the way going there. So, we explored the way. We lost several times, we took the rough roads and we even asked strangers just to get there.  But the place is worth sacrificing. All the hardships had been paid off when we got to the place.  I am recommending this place. I had so much fan in here!
