Anyeonghaseo..
Hey!
Its almost been a year ago right?
Oh I miss you so much guys! Even its only some couple
day we spent together.
You know what, I've been so nervous when you guys
would came. I almost cancelled to be the host family. Super nervous! I was
worried I couldn't be a good host. Worried I couldn't satisfied you guys with
your Summer Exchange program to learn about Indonesia. Well, but everything
went fine I guess. What do you think? ;)
Okay, first I was invited to Opening Ceremony of UASEP
(Unpad-Ajou Summer Exchange Program). At that time I was introduced to two
girls from Korea, Go Eun Choi and Seul Gi Bae, and I've been told that I would
be a host for both of them. Then we introduced each other and some simple
question, all I remembered I was really nervous at that time. I also worried I
couldn't be talkative as usual, note that should talk with English. After the
opening ceremony I got more nervous, I couldn't sleep well! Thought of
everything until it came the time to pick you guys for a weekend with host
family.
Came the time to pick you guys, I started super
nervous! I came with my boyfriend to Ciwalk to pick you guys. After met you, we
are hang around the mall. While wait to be pick by my unlce, we walked around.
Then another worried things revealed! Shadza my LO told me that some of these
Korean got digestive problems, maybe because of food shocked. I was really
worried how to serve food for them. :( And that day I also been told that Go
Eun Choi got fever.
Day 1, I asked them where did they wanna do. Gwen
(english name for Go Eun Choi) want to bought some clothes, so we decided to go
to mall. I was got an idea to ask my boyfriend and his friend (Mutia and Dinda)
who know a lot about Korea to joined. We around the mall, Gwen found some
clothes, we went lunch and last a surprising-unbelievable-moment we went to
cinema! Yes, at that day Amazing Spiderman had just released. Well, so college
student right? Yes! That day I felt I'm a bit failed to introduced things that
I would do before, but moreover I felt we have similarities! We're college
student, we love hang out, we love to go to cinema.. And I guess all those
things more fun and like we more enjoyed the day. After the film we went home
(almost an hour we waited for taxi :(, so sorry to you guys made you wait so
long time, and thank you to Dinda, Mutia and my boyfriend to accompanied and help much). At night we had
a light conversation before bed, couldn't wait for the next day!

Day 2, I planned to take you to the cake shop and a
hijab store (they amazed how people wear hijab and really beautiful). Note that
at noon I should took them back to the committee, so I should maximize the time.
First we went to the cake shop. They like it and enjoy the cake. The next tour
was to Ina's Scarf, the reason I brought them there because my friend work
there and Ina's Scarf is a hijab store that provide handmade, batik and all
stuff are traditionally Indonesia. They were take a look and be make over by
Ina's Scarf's crew. Yes! They were really beautiful wear hijab! You guys agree
with me, right? ;) After the tour then I planned to took them to lunch but they
asked to go home because they wanted to cook for me (is that super sweet
right??).

Ah, and forgot to tell we did tour at day 2 by most
popular public transportation in Indonesia called angkot. :p Can you imagine
how to brought a foreigners with angkot?? Well, I still amazed till nowadays to
think of that. And they enjoyed although the weather was really hot. Oh, they
also really love kiddo! At the hijab store there was a cute girl and they keep
play with, then at angkot there was a little boy, and they also like to play
with! I'm sure you guys will be a good mom! :)

Talked about what they cooked for me, its a really
special dishes! A noodles with Korean tteokbokki sauce that cooked by two
Korean girls in Indonesian kitchen. How that is sounds? Great right? ;) . And
about the food they was really delicious! Spicy and tasty! They event promised
me to sent a tteokbokki originally from Korea.. Oh, I forgot! Every breakfast
my mom served Nasi Kuning (yellow rice) completed with beef, kerupuk (a snack
that you guys told me to eat while drink beer with friends), tempe and
bala-bala (fried snacks). They like it although eat only little. Seul Gi Bae
love my family recipe of beef cutlets!

Before pick them to committee, they were playing with
my brother and my little cousins, they played football. My grandma wanted to
talked a lot but bit hard to talked in english so i translated, but overall she
really happy to have you guys. Also my mom and dad, couldn't talk many words,
but they really happy you guys come and visit us. :)

After two unforgettable beautiful days, I learn so
many things from you guys. How you guys thought, honest, independence,
adaptable, nice, full of respect and how to be a criticize. I was bit shocked
when you guys asked sensitive question, but then I answered. Then I learned
that's not for intimidate things, but a huge curiosity, that how a student should
be. Thanks for visit and write something in my memory, dear Gwen and Seul Gi,
so happy to have you here. :) Kamsahamnida..
Although its only two days but its really a beautiful
moment to remember. And I remembered we're so sad when its time to separated.
Even Gwen cry. :( And its been a year.. Oh I miss you so guys!
Pray for me so I have a lot of money and I can came to
visit you to Korea.. Amin
