Day 1

Hello, everyone. I have arrived at Ayyuthaya for several hours. I would like to tell you how my day went on. It was a very awesome day and it can be one of the best day ever for me. I woke up at 3 a.m. because my flight from Banjarmasin to Jakarta was the first one (around 6.05 a.m.), and I have to prepare everything. This was my first time to go overseas and without an adult to accompany. I was very thankful to my coordinator in ULM that gave me a chance to go by myself, so I have learnt how to do web-check in, how to be more careful to my things, etc. Then, I arrived in Jakarta at 6.50 a.m (local time). I tried to prepare all the businesses in airport by asking to everyone I met. My flight schedule to Bangkok was at 13.00 and I arrived at Don Mueang at around 17.00 p.m. I was very sorry to make my friends and my coordinators who picked me up waiting so long because my flight was the last. This is my picture with them.

After we met each other, we went to Ayutthaya by the van from ARU. We saw the condition of Bangkok in the evening. It was so crowd and we saw many places that I would like to go if I had time. We went to a night market which is in a line with our dormitory. We saw so many Thailand traditional food. Then, I bought Phad Thai and a cup of hot latte. The taste of PhadThai itself is delicious. It consists of noodles (in Indonesia, it is almost the same with Kwetiaw), and it contains some vegetables such bean sprouts, a kind of sawi (if I am not wrong) and a sunny side egg. It will make you hungry when you smell it.

After we went to buy our dinner, we went to Seven Eleven to buy our equipment. I bought a new internet card which is sold 49 Bath (approximately Rp 25.000,00). It can be used for one month so I can keep in touch with my family in Indonesia. Next, we went to our dormitory. Actually, we are so happy because we felt so tired and very happy but we need to take a bath after a long journey.

Today, I would like to say my big thanks to Ms. Ned and Ms. Nui who are very patient to wait me at the airport and my new friends in the dormitory. Let’s make a new experience tomorrow.
