Dear minasan,
I hope all
of you have a new spirit and good resolution in 2014. Happy new year all. “Selamat
tahun baru 2014”. This is my first report in January.
On January
1st I went to the Hokkaido temple which located near a Maruyama park
with my friend to see how Japanese people spent their new year’s. Hokkaido Jingu
is the largest temple in Hokkaido. I saw a lot of people in there. Most of them
spent a time to pray, take an omikuji and buy charms.
I tried to
take omikuji too, and guess what I got? I got a “daikichi” word on my omikuji
paper. I don’t know exactly the meaning. But, my friend said that I got the
best luck. How lucky I am.. ^^
On January 2nd
- 5th , I spent my time to
prepare my presentation on January 7th. But in the middle my busy time
to prepare the presentation. I went to my Japanese friend apartment with my
Indonesian friend to make a scarf and hat. My Japanese friend teach me how to
make a scarf and hat using a sewing machine. That is an awesome experience.
On January
7th (Presentation day), I had a change to present one of paper
which related to my research in an Ecological chemistry laboratory seminar. I am
very grateful I got that change, because we did a lot of discussion to review
my paper selection, and I also got many advices to my research.
In
Agriculture faculty in January 10th, we had a Sinenkai party for
foreign student. Indonesia student had a change to prepare Indonesian dishes to
all of International students in Agriculture faculty. We made “Bakso” Indonesian
meat balls. We started to make it from
10 am, finished at 4 pm and served at 5 pm. That was an amazing day.
See you on the next report.
