The Day When I Miss My Cat So Much!

So, today, Fifi and I made an appointment. Since both of us are cat slave (who do anything for cat), we decided to go to cat cafe! Cat cafe is very famous in Korea. Not only Cat cafe, there are also dog cafe and even sheep cafe. 

For today trip, we made a research and try to find an information about where is the cat cafe located. Actually, there are so many cat cafe in Seoul. I find some in Idae, Myeongdong, and Hongdae. And ah there also some in Gangnam, but since Idae is the nearest, we decided to went there. 

And as soon as we arrive, 3 cats come to my foot and meowing wants me to pet their head, oh sweet. Okay, the rules in cat cafe is like this:

1. Put your shoes in the shoe rack and use the sandals they provide 

2. You buy one drink for 7000 won and play with the cat as long as you want

3. Don't carrying the cat

4. Don't force them to do anything

5. Don't force them to sit in your lap except if they jump to your lap by their self

6. You can borrow the cats toys from the cafe and buy 'em a snack if you want

So, i buy a glass of hot lemon tea while Fifi buy a glass of iced americano. Then.... here we come. At first, its only two of us and the cats for like em 30minutes, but then 4 high school students come and joint us. Its really fun, i was playing so hard with the cats. You can even sit in the floor and lay down if you want. Some of the cats jump into my lap directly, omaygad, i am so happy!!

Here is the pic for you!

Mr. Grumpy which really like to sit in our table

The lazy one, just sleeping all day long

The cutest and calm one 

Here is the cat name and profile

Both of them didn't go down until i left ㅠㅠ

I really adore this one, big and fluffy~

Mr. I Am The King

Let me in look huh??

It just jump to my lap directly when i sit down on my chair

Will you come to my dorm and live with me???

So, this one is in Idae (Ewha Daehakyo) area, right in front of Starbucks, if you come from Idae station, its on your left in 3rd floor. Have fun with the cats!

Dream? What is your dream?

Hello,

This posting might be a little bit heavy, but i need to write this because i think this is very important and i need to share it with all of you guys. I really enjoying this lecture because 2 days before it i am talking about this dream things with my friends. So, enjoy it.

In November 20, there is a guest lecture in my Economic Analysis class and actually the lecture was not about the economy at all but its really inspiring. The guest lecture was Professor Cho Dong Sung, he was getting his Ph.D degree from Harvard and working as a Professor in SNU, now he is in his last year of working and will be retired next February. 

He is such a great motivator, at least for me. His lecture was really give an insight for my and my life, and it makes me thinking once again about my dream and what i want to become in the future, because no one know how future will be look like. 

He started his lecture by asking us what we want to be in the future, and he explain about Ph.D program, the benefit of it, how to get it, and how hard it is. He is a very funny person, really, i adore him. After that he started to talking about the trend. Nowadays, young people tend to get their Ph.D degree because we expected to be live until 100years old and that's why we willing to give 1/3 of our live time to study. He also told us that 9 from 10 of his Ph.D students is female so don't be surprise if in the future most of the professor will be female. 

There are 6 things he mention in order to finish your Ph.D program successfully (take a note that he finish his Ph.D program only in 3 years). There are:

1. Hardworking
2. Ideas
3. Supervisor
4. Thesis Topic
5. Methodology
6. School

Its quite funny for me because he is really honest, he really talking about all the fact he knows even when somehow its awkward. He said that its important to choose the right supervisor, cause sometimes there is a supervisor who had the bad experience in the past when he/she in their Ph.D program and they tend to give a hard time, as hard as his/her experience to their students. Wow.

After that, he was talking about dream. He even talking about the suicide issue in Korea. He said that university students doing that because they don't want to lose their face in front of the others and the easiest way is to end their life. Such a pity. He said its because students in Korea doesn't has a dream, they only doing what their parents want them to do. 

Professor than categorize people into four group:

- People who are really sure about their dream

- People who know their dream but they think it might change in 5-10 years

- People who confused about their dream, is it really their dream or not

- People who don't have a dream at all

Its really interesting. I am really thinking about this. I was calling my dad last week and said i have a new dream and i really want to be it, really. But now, i am thinking about it again, and again. 

While, one of my friends talking to me last week, she said, she felt empty now, she just doing what she have to do without any feeling of it. 

Luckily, professor told us how to find our dream..

First of all, read a book. You need to read a lot of book and get an inspiration from the book.

Second, travelling around. Experiencing so many things is very important in order to find what you like the most.

Third, communicating with people, even with strangers. 

Forth, write a diary. Learning from the past, try to look back and learning.

Fifth, help people who need your help.

And last, love, love the other people around you.

After i am thinking for a while, all of this things are correct. I find my dream after doing all of this things. This professor is really genius. I really text my friends about this and we started to talking about our dreams again.

Thank you Professor for your lecture today, i really really enjoy it.

So i made this post in order to helping all of my friends out there to find their dreams.

Dare to dreaming guys, its free!!!

Fall? Or its winter already?

Its getting cooler and cooler here everyday in Seoul. Now the temperature even drop to minus in the morning, what should i do? Last week its still above 0, but now, its exactly 0 or even below 0. Kinda use to it now, but still its cold. Even Sarah told me that its already snowing in US, congrats!!

The biggest question in my head is..

What should i wear than?

In Indonesia, even wearing the short sleeve shirt and short pants can make you wet of sweat, but now, even if i am wearing such a tick jacket or coat with sweater and also double jeans and legging, i am still freezing...

Some of my Korean friends told me, because of the global warming and environmental change, winter in Korea becoming very long and also the temperature is very extreme. I have to prepare my self. Go go shopping lol. They told me to wear extra warm clothes, because i am catch a cold in the first week of fall, and they judge me that i am really weak with temperature change hahaha. They are right by the way. 

My skin also becoming worst. Its become really dry and itchy. Hiks my face, ottokhe?? And also, i feel really hungry all the time. This is bad, really bad.

So, i am wearing a sweater everyday, so i made the fall/winter sweater photo collection for you guys (okay its a little bit narsis, but i just really like it. Since i am actually really like to wear sweater and it makes me sweating a lot in Jakarta or even in Bandung, but here, i am okay if i wear it.

Sweater choha choha hehe. I am no longer can use it now, i always wear a coat as the finishing touch. Its freaking freezing now!! All of this pic was taken before i go to class, sooooo... yeah hahaha. That's it! I will update more when i have a lots of winter coat already (never happen, its too expensive for me). I'll update more, maybe today or tomorrow, because there are so many post waiting to be publish in my draft. Yes i am still writing but sometimes i didn't finish it so its stuck in my draft. Be careful, i'll be flooding this blog hehehe.

See you later in the future,

Zoo, its Seoul Zoo!!

Hello there,

I made this post out of my boredom (gak inget punya tugas len?).  Actually, i really miss my travelling partner here. I am going anywhere mainly alone here but yeah gwencanayo~.

So, at November 9 i made a really cool date with my neighbor and my class partner in crime Fifi, where? Zoo, we are going to Seoul Zoo at Seoul Grand Park. Oke pegel pake bahasa inggris, swich language hahaha..

Basically (lah balik ke bahasa inggris) hari itu kita tadinya mau jalan-jalan random ke Gangnam, since both of us really like to walking anywhere, but...... there is nothing to do in Gangnam beside club and overprice cafe. So, we decided to go to Seoul Zoo. Ngeliat weather forecast katanya bakalan hujan di sore hari kita pergi pagi jam 10, sebelum hujan turun. Udaranya mendung mengundang tapi suhu udara masih diatas 10 alhamdulillah.

Perjalanan cukup jauh, okay itu jauh banget, lebih dari 10 stop actually. Since daeheung ada diatas Hangang dan Seoul Zoo berada dibawah Hangang, deket SNU, cuma 2 stop dari SNU, atau 3 ya? Pokoknya deket dari SNU.

Harga tiketnya bersahabat banget, cuma 3000won. Konsep Zoo nya 11/12 sama ragunan, tapi jangan coba bandingin, karena ragunan akan kalah telak jauuuuuuh!! Seperti biasa namanya Seoul suka banget sama gunung, di kebun binatang ini juga ada track untuk hiking.

Salutnya sama Korea, mereka bener-bener memperhatikan segala hal. Kebun binatang ini kelewat luas, sehingga mereka ngasih coloring line di jalanan, setiap warna mewakili trip apa yang mau kita ambil, hewan apa aja yang mau kita liat. Waktu gue kesana suasananya masih bener-bener Fall, semua pohon kuning dan merah, bener-bener pemandangan indah. Kalau mau ke Seoul, sangat disarankan pas Fall, sekitar akhir oktober.

Gue dan Fifi semacam anak kecil yang jiwanya terkurung dalam badan orang dewasa. Lari sana lari sini, pegang ini pegang itu, ketawain badak yang seenak jiwa poop tepat didepan muka kita sampe akhirnya kita hiking ke atas gunung dan dapet pemandangan yang ga akan pernah gue dapet di Indonesia.

Badaknya poop haduuuuuuh~

Super beautiful river inside the zoo

We made it, we're in the top of the hill yey!!

Pretty right??

Senengnya lagi jalan-jalan di Korea adalah no one care of what are you doin, really. Terserah deh mau jungkir balik mau gelundungan mau bengong mau ngapain juga terserah bebas. Mau foto gaya apa kek, mau ciuman dimana kek, no one paying attention.

Fifi petting the animals, me?? I am afraid of them actually hahahaha

Kayak di photoshop yah, but its really amazing scenery

Breathtaking scenery up hill

Fasilitasnya daebak disini. Kamar mandi? Gampang ditemui dimana-mana, dan bersih tentunya. Banyak juga semacam saung buat istirahat. Tempat makan banyak, tukang jajanan juga banyak, dan gak over price semacem jajanan dan tempat makan di dalem taman hiburang di Indonesia. Gue beli churros dan peanut butter ojingo (which is my favorite snack here) dengan harga yang wajar dan dimana-mana emang segitu harganya. Kebun binatang ini juga nyediain free shuttle bus kalo kita capek, bus stopnya dibagi per area, jd kalo mau pindah area yang cukup jauh kita bisa naik bus. 

Selain itu, kita bisa juga naik skylift, yang kakinya gelantungan, semacam di tempat sky. Tapi karena itu bayar (gak mahal sebenernya, gak sampe 5000won) dan angin hari itu cukup kenceng beserta gerimis, gue dan Fifi memutuskan untuk naik itu nanti aja kapan-kapan. 

Di Seoul Grand Park ini gak cuma ada Zoo aja loh, tepat di depan Zoo ada Flower Garden yang gue dan Fifi yakin saat itu bunganya udah layu karena udah masuk deep in the fall. Selain itu ada theme park kecil juga, dan tiket masuknya sangat amat terjangkau. Kalau mampir di Seoul, tempat ini bisa jadi alternatiflah apalagi kalau bawa anak kecil.

Dari gerebang utama seoul grand park menuju Zoo kita bisa naik bus dengan biaya 1000won, tapi sesungguhnya untuk ukuran di Korea, jaraknya cukup dekat, kira-kira 10 menit jalan kaki. While naik shuttle bus, its only takes like 1 or 2 minutes.

Where: Seoul Grand Park station, Line 4, exit no.2

How Much: Zoo 3000won/person, Shuttle bus from main gate to Zoo 1000won/person

Gonzaga Hall everybodeeeh!!

Its been 2 month, 2 month and 4 days to be exact..

Rasanya kurang afdol kalo belom laporan begimana sih bentuk tempat tinggal selama disini. Mungkin banyak yang belum tau kalau disini aku tinggal di dormitory, international dormitory of Sogang University yang bernama Gonzaga Hall.

This is Gonzaga Hall everyone, welcome :)

Gonzaga Hall ini terdiri dari 2 gedung, gedung A dan gedung B dimana dua gedung ini cuma nyambung di lantai 1 yaitu lobby sama di lantai B1. Lantai B1 nyambung karena dibawah sana tempat anak dari 2 building melakukan banyak aktivitas. Oh iya gedung A itu mulai dari lantai 4 sampai lantai 12 isinya mahasiswa wanita sedangkan gedung B dan lantai 1-3 gedung A dihuni oleh para mahasiswa lelaki. Kenapa lelaki ada di gedung A juga? Karena mereka kayak pere- eh ngga deng haha, karena gedung B jauh lebih kecil dari gedung A, jadi gak muat.

Nah lanjut sikit, di B1 alias Basement 1 itu seperti yang udah gue bilang adalah tempat dimana penghuni gedung A dan B melakukan aktivitas selain kuliah. Common room berisi sebuah TV (seukuran TV yg dikamar gue di Jakarta), 2 buah microwave, 1 panggangan roti, dan dua buah meja kapasitas 8 orang, Fitness room, Laundry room (dimana ruang nyuci cewek dan cowok dipisah karena dahulu kala cecewek pada jadi malu kalo mau nyuci daleman gegara keliatan cowok), ping pog table, dan yang paling penting cafetaria tempat breakfast dan dinner disajikan.

Cafetaria tersayang cafetaria tercinta

Kira-kira begini bentukan makanannya

Food schedule, ayo menghindari babi!!

Nah selain di basement, anak gedung A dan gedung B bisa ketemu ngobrol asik di lantain 1. Bisa duduk-duduk di lobby, ngambil duit di ATM, ngecek surat dan paket, beli makanan di GS25, atau bisa mainan komputer sambil ngeprint dan belajar di study room lantai 1 gedung B. 

Serunya lagi, anak yang gak tinggal di Gonzaga Hall cuma bisa masuk sampe lobby (dimana serunya -_-") karena untuk mengakses fasilitas dan mencapai lift, semua harus nempelin ID card yang juga berfungsi untuk kunci pintu kamar.

ID card yang diatas dan Kartu Mahasiswa yang dibawah

Tinggal di dorm ini juga berarti kita sharing responsibility, not only with our roommate, but also with all the resident of this building. Setiap 2 minggu sekali (kecuali pada masa ujian) bakalan diadain yang namaya floor meeting dan room checking. Intinya kita semua (iya semua penghuni) dikumpulin di cafetaria pada hari selasa jam 11 malam, iya just before midnight meeeeh. Ada 2 sesi, dimana sesi pertama pake bahasa Korea untuk semua penghuni berkebangsaan korea and after that there is English session for all the foreigner resident. Di floor meeting biasanya si resident assistant ngejelasin pengumuman-pengumuman atau ngasih peringatan ke penghuni yang melanggar peraturan. Meh.

Setelah floor meeting semua penghuni balik ke kamar masing-masing dan nunggu floor assistant untuk datang dari kamar ke kamar untuk ngecek kondisi dan kebersihan kamar kita. Oke ini terdengar SMA banget, tapi menurut gue pribadi ini penting sih. Soalnya gue pernah masuk ke kamar beberapa temen dan keadaannya meeeeeeeeh mengerikan, itu kandang atau kamar, ntahlah. Sementara kamar gue kondisinya selalu seperti pada foto dan video dan ini serius ga pake bohong. Mungkin gue anaknya terlihat sangat berantakan tapi serius deh kondisi kamar gue selalu rapih (YEAH).

Setiap kamar di Gonzaga Hall diisi dua orang dan random. Jadi kita baru tau siapa roommate kita ya saat kita pindah hehe. Alhamdulillah roommate gue cukup baik dan bisa diajak bekerja sama dengan baik hihi. My roommate is small and cute Vietnam girl. Dan lebih untungnya lagi anak ini juga doyan KPOP terutama doi Inspirit juga. Jadi tau lah ya gue sama anak ini kalo dikamar ngapain hahaha. 

Kamar gue kebetulan dapet yang punya 2 kasur secara terpisah tapi hadap-hadapan gitu jadi suka kadang pas bangun tidur kaget ngeliat muka roommate sendiri haha. Ternyata di Gonzaga Hall ini ada juga yang pake bunk bed, alhamdulillah eyke ga dapet bunk bed fiyuuuh~.

Karena rebek bin susah ngejelasin kamar, soooooooo...

Here are some pic and also the video about it!!

My side

This is what i got in front of my window heol!

This is also right in front of my window, the never ending stairs to law building

Desk

My desk before its getting messy hahaha

Aaaaaaaaaandddd, this is the video about it. Semoga membantu yah kalo ada yg ngawang dorm di sogang kayak apa bentukannya.

I am so sorry for the quality of the vids, cause originally the quality is really good but something happen i can't upload it to the blogger haish~ 

So, thats all from me today. See you around :)

Falenoo

Indonesian Food, finally~

Hello,

This is the post in the middle of mid-term storm, i take a break of studying for a moment cause my head gonna explode in no time!

I forgot when, but like a week ago, or two, or three, i can't remember clearly, Loise, Debby, Kak Keshia, and i were having dinner together in Indonesia restaurant because we miss Indonesian food (yeh baru 1,5 bulan aja udah lebay). Hehehehe. Pokoknya alkisah tiba-tiba kita pengen banget makanan Indonesia, dan kebetulan beberapa hari belakangan anak-anak Sogang GSIS lagi hip banget ngomongin ini tempat makan. Usut punya usut ternyata anak K&E baru aja ada party disana.

Akhirnya pergilah kita malam itu, dengan berbekal pengetahuan dari orang-orang kalau harganya agak mahal. Yaudahlah sabot aja abis itu puasa hehehee. 

Namanya....

Bali Bistro

Tempatnya agak ga keliahatan dari jalan besar, tapi restonya enak, suasananya cozy. Letaknya ada diantara Sinchon station dan grebang utama Sogang University. Kalau naik subway dari jauh, turun di Sinchon Station, keluar di exit 6, terus jalan kaki lurus langsung belok kiri. Nah jalan luruuuuuuus aja, belokan kiri kedua yang ada 7eleven dan tanjakan dikit belok, terus langsung belok kiri lagi yang turunan, nah tadaaaaa~ Bali Bistro ada di sebelah kanan anda (eh kanan apa kiri ya? Lupa).

Baru masuk pintu kita kebingungan celingak celinguk karena gak nampak ada yg punya atau pelayan, biasanya disini kalo masuk ke resto pasti langsung disambut. Tiba-tiba kedengeran suara, "berapa orang?" emang dasar norak, kita langsung nyengir karena disambut sama bahasa sendiri.

Tempat makan ini asik banget buat yang kangen sama tanah air, buat yang lidahnya udah mulai kaku pengen ngomong pake bahasa Indonesia atau bahkan bahasa Sunda. Waktu kita kesana ada 4 orang yg bekerja dan mereka semua pernah tinggal di Bandung, bahkan orang tuanya masih di Bandung. Pas ditanya berapa lama tinggal di Bandung, dia bilang 20 tahun. Yah beda dikit sama gue yang baru 22 tahun tinggal di Indonesia ya hahahaha..

Makanannya?

kwetiau goreng

super star malam itu, sate ayam!!

Alhamdulillah rasanya sangat mendekati apa yang ada di Indonesia. Kemarin itu gue pesen Kwetiau Goreng Ayam, Loise pesen Nasi Sapi Lada Hitam, Debby pesen Mie Goreng Ayam, Kak Keshia pesen Nasi Goreng, dan sebagai tambahan, kita pesen SATE AYAM! Hehehe, semua enak :)

Kita ga akan pernah tau apa itu arti bersyukur sampai kita mendapatkan apa yang tidak kita harapkan dan tidak ada jalan lain selain Tuhan yang membantu kita mendapatkannya. Bersyukurlah selagi bisa.

BERUBAAAAAHHHH!!

Hi, its been a month and 13 days (yes i am counting it) since i arrive here in Korea yehooo~

Semenjak 1 bulan dan 13 hari yang lalu, semenjak meninggalkan tanah air dan beradaptasi dengan kehidupan di Korea, gue merasakan banyak hal berubah dalam diri gue. This might be personal, but i think you can experience the same things if you move here from Indonesia. So check this out..

1. Walking Speed and Behavior

Di Indonesia, jujur aja, hal yang paling males dilakukan adalah jalan kaki. Sebut aja, dari dayang sumbi ke gerebang belakang ITB aja kadang males, dari gerebang belakang ITB ke McD simpang aja males, dari Kosan ke gerebang Dago Asri aja males...

Semenjak pindah dan beradaptasi disini, jalan kaki jadi hal biasa. Kadang gue suka mikir, "Wow jarak segini ini lebih jauh dari sekedar Kosan ke Kampus loh" tapi disini gue lakukan dengan sukarela. Mungkin ini juga faktor mau hemat, karena disini jarak jauh dekat itu sekitar 1050 KRW alias sekitar 10500 IDR, well aku tak rela!

Hal lain yang berubah adalah kecepatan berjalan gue. Waktu awal pindah, dari dorm ke Sinchon station biasa ditempuh sekitar 30 menit, sekarang 15 menit aja udah sampe dan gak pake ngis-ngosan yahuuuu~

2. Skin

Ini gak tau apa karena udara disini bersih, gak tau karena cuacanya atau gimana, tapi kulit gue disini jadi bersih banget. Alhamdulillah :)

3. Weight

Ini sensitive sih hahahaa, gak deng. Selow kayak di pulau. Walaupun tanpa timbangan, tapi gue yakin 100% paling nggak 3-5kg udah turun dr berat badan gue sebelom berangkat. Buktinya?? Setiap gue skype pasti orang-orang pada nanya kemana perginya pipi gue hahaha, jam tangan gue udah merosot ke lengan bukan lg di pergelangan tangan, dan yg paling frontal adalah celana-celana yg mulai sulit bertahan di pinggang haha.

4. Males Mandi dan Ganti Baju
Awalnya gue selalu mencak sama orang-orang disini. Mereka bisa loh pake baju yang sama untuk 2 sampai 3 hari berturut-turut, atau mandi 2 hari sekali atau bahkan cuma keramas aja. Awalnya gue mencak-mencak. Tapi sekarang................................... Sudah mulai terserang virus yang sama. Jadi suatu hal yang bodo amat kalau gue pake baju yang sama berkali-kali bahkan 2 hari berturut-turut. Frekuensi mandi? Mulai berkurang. Darinya 2 kali sehari, semenjak masuk Fall dan suhu udara ngedropnya suka gak tau diri, sekarang kalau lagi dingin mandi mah cukup 1 kali sehari atau bahkan 2 hari sekali hahahaha. Frekuensi keramas juga gitu, darinya waktu di Indonesia tiap hari keramas, sekarang bisa 2 hari sekali atau 3 hari sekali tergantung kebutuhan.

Mungkin sebenernya masih banyak lagi yang berubah, seperti jam tidur dan jam makan, tapi yasudahlahnya. Namanya juga makhluk hidup, kita butuh menyesuaikan diri dengan tempat dimana kita tinggal hihi.

Oke baiklah, sekian updatean dari Seoul.

I miss my family

I miss my friends

I miss my cats

I miss my room

I miss my house

I miss my city

I miss my country

I miss you all

Love Love Love

Try to Remember this Things if You want to Study Abroad

"Jadi kaum minoritas itu tentang bagaimana cara menyesuaikan diri tanpa kehilangan jati diri, dan itu susah."

Selama tinggal di Indonesia selalu terbiasa jadi kaum mayoritas. Selalu terbiasa semua tersedia, jadi anak manja yang mau ini ada mau itu ada, gak perlu usaha. Contoh, ketika mau makan, yaudah tinggal beli aja apa yang dimau, di Indonesia kan mayoritas Islam, semua-semua halal, kalo jual yang gak halal pasti dituding ini itu. Padahal emang kenapa kalau mereka jual makanan gak halal? Ya gampang aja, orang muslim ga usah makan disitu. Habis perkara. Tapi sekali lagi, mayoritas. Muslim itu mayoritas di Indonesia, dan mayoritas selalu menang.

Disini, cari makan cenderung susah. Gak ada restoran yang bener-bener halal, terus saya harus apa? Harus marah? Ya gak bisa kan. Saya yang harus menyesuaikan diri, ini rumah orang, saya ga bisa melakukan semau saya. Tapi tetap, saya menghindari yang tidak halal, sebisa mungkin.

Sama dengan tradisi 'minum' disini. Saya gak bisa minum, terus saya harus apa? Melarang teman-teman untuk minum? Ya nggak lah, tinggal saya yang menempatkan diri, kalau memang ga bisa 'minum' ya gak usah 'minum', bawa aja air mineral dari asrama, atau ya beli Cola. Habis perkara.

"Dimana langit dijunjung, disitu bumi dipijak"

Setiap tempat, setiap daerah, setiap negara pastinya punya tradisi, kultur, dan budaya masing-masing. Hormati mereka. Ini rumah mereka, kita yang numpang. Di Korea Selatan, mereka sangat menjujung nilai kesopanan. Semua diukur berdasarkan umur dan senioritas. Ada paling tidak (yang saya tau) 3 tingkatan bahasa di Korea (tolong di koreksi kalau salah). Formal, bahasa formal digunakan pada orang yang lebih tua, lebih senior, atau orang yang baru ditemui. Semi-formal, digunakan pada orang yang lebih tua atau senior tapi sudah kenal dekat. Banmal (informal) digunakan pada yang seumuran atau lebih muda atau junior. 

Tradisi lainnya disini adalah melakukan segala sesuatunya dengan cepat dan tepat waktu. Jangan berjalan malas dan santai ala di Indonesia kalau gak mau ketabrak sama orang lain yang jalan kelewat cepet. Saat menggunakan transportasi umum, jika tidak ingin berjalan di eskalator, berdiri di sebelah kanan.

"You are not a tourist, act like a citizen will you?"

Kalau kita datang dan akan menetap dalam waktu yang lama, berlakulah seperti orang lokal. Jangan memposisikan diri sebagai turis dan mau diperlakukan special di setiap kesempatan. Pelajari bahasa mereka, budaya, adat, dan kebiasaan. Berlakulah seperti penduduk sekitar, ikuti kebiasaan mereka. Insyaallah hidup jadi lebih mudah dan kita juga jadi lebih mudah di terima oleh penduduk lokal.

Saya bukan menggurui, cuma mau memberikan pandangan dari sedikit pengalaman saya saja hihi. Semoga berguna dan bermanfaat untuk semua. Happy study abroad :D
