Weekly Report 1

Jadi habis hari ke-8 di Hiraizumi, anak course A disuruh bikin laporan gimana perasaan mereka semingguan ini. Karna kata Koshiro-san, koordinator saya, ini laporan gak formal dan sesuka hati mo nulis apa. Saya jadi nulisnya ga niat gitu. Dan minggu berikutnya kita juga dikasih tugas yg sama, jadi akhirnya kayak weekly report gitu. Kalo pengen tau saya nulis apa, simak aja. Kurang lebih sama kayak di blog post kemaren-kemaren lah :))

First of all, I am not good at writing, but I'll try.

I still couldn't believe that I had arrived in Japan. I would like to say thank you very much to Japanese Government and JOCA who had chosen me over others to join this Kizuna program. When I was arrived at Narita Airport, I couldn't find anyone from JOCA. A police officer came to me and asked if there is anything he could help. I was surprised. Did I really look like a person who got lost or something? But I was impressed with sprightly police officer in Japan. Later, you and Machiko-san picked me up.

When I went to the toilet, I was like so countrified because of the technology you got here in Japan. Moreover, the participants got 1 room for 1 person. It is very nice. I loved Japan already.

I was impressed how the JOCA staffs were very concerned about any participants' prohibition of food. They served us very well. The welcome party was fun because I could get to know more about another countries.

The participants learned about Japanese language with Akiko-sensei. Though it was still basic one, but I had so much fun. Finding mate by asking about their countries and majors with Japanese language only. I got new friends!

In Yokohama Cosmo World, we got tickets for free. What kind hearted people JOCA staffs are :D The view was very beautiful, especially in the evening.

On this day, I just realized about what I am going to do in Japan. It is not for fun, but to learn and experience anything, especially anything related to the Great East Japan Earthquake. There was a program orientation of stricken area after lunch. I got knowledge from it, and it will be very useful for my study.

The Cupnoodle Museum Tour was very exciting. I love how we could make our own chicken ramen. That part is really memorable.

This day was a day I had been wanting for so long. Experiencing Shinkansen!! It was so cool because its speed is unbeatable for any kinds of train in this world.

Participating in Tono festival was a lot of fun! Though it made my feet hurt because of walking around the town for 3 hours, but I got to see the awesomeness of Japanese culture. I was really enjoyed. Moreover, Japanese people are very nice. Although I told them that I only understand a little of Japanese language, but they kept talking to me like I knew what they said. I love their hospitality.

Sightseeing in Hiraizumi was amazing! I felt so lucky to be selected in this Kizuna Program, because I got to know more about Japanese life, culture and history, which I couldn't afford to buy them all. So meaningful.

After all, I felt lucky to have you, Koshiro-san, as my coordinator. You are nice, caring, and funny person! You are just like a character in manga or anime :))

Anyway, thank you for managing everything for us. It must be hard to be a coordinator of different characteristic of persons.

Oke. A bit exaggerated, I admit it. Dan jelas keliatan ga niatnya, yg penting selese aja :hammer:
