Echt Chocomelk

Saya sedih...ga sengaja foto ini ke resized hiks hiks...jadinya maaf kalau gambarnya kekecilan. Can't help it.
Bersama teman-teman baru Florence ma Jovita kita mencoba susu coklat asli Belanda di sebuah cafe tua di Nijmegen, salah satu kota tertua di Belanda pula. Cukup menarik karena setelah memesan tiga susu coklat berikut ini adalah minuman yang disajikan:
- satu cangkir susu murni panas
- coklat chips
- sekoci liquor
- dan segelas air putih

Cara minumnya? Suka-suka kita dong, boleh minum susunya trus minum liquornya baru maem chipsnya atau campurkan semuanya ke cangkir susu, masukan coklat chip nya satu persatu ke dalam susu dan sedikit liquor sampai dirasa rasanya pas di lidah..yummy.
Harganya? wah tidak bisa dibilang murah tetapi worth koq, dengan 2,40 Euro untuk menikmati sensasi susu coklat Belanda jaman dahulu

Backpacker

I find myself as a stranger in a strange city.
I am walking whole day but there is no place called home to stay.
I am not a homeless nor a nomadic...I just don't want to go home yet.
With a big bag on my back and a piece of map on my hand, I search and I try reaching each place that I've seen on the map during the day.
I hope my day always starts early in the morning and it would end very late in the night so that I would make a good use of one day that I have in this place.

I don't need a good room to get a good sleep
as....
I never know when I will be back
neither how far have I walked
not because I have no money to pay

When I find a place with shelter and a toilet, there will I end the day.
When the sun has gone down and I have no power anymore, there will I restore my energy.
The floor is my bed and my bag is my pillow. I tie it tightly on my back so that it always stays with me until the next couple of hours when I open my eyes.

Suffering? If I compare with the amounts of places I've been and seen more than anyone else, my answer will be "no." I'm satisfied with it and it's a pride to be a backpacker.

Oshimai

My internship has been over about more than a week ago. Not so many words too say but I'm very satisfied with my result. I think I've been a bit more mature, haven't I?
Have more confidence, not scared anymore to be a bit talkative and communicative as I've been trained in the last 12 months to interact with many people from different companies, cultures, and positions. Well not 100% true but I feel I'm improved *proud (self declaration).

Thanks to my beloved boss, Osada-san who has granted me an opportunity to work as a trainee. I always remember her as a supervisor who likes telling a lot of stories, we could talk for whole days about different things that happened in our surroundings and when I told her my stories she amazingly recalls all of them. During my stay there, she always cared about me, prepared a croissant for my breakfast everyday, always ready to answer my questions and never got tired helping me with my projects. For me, she's a boss and a mother-like friend.

A special gratitute also goes to my two colleagues Misumi-san who always told me a lot of gossips and reminded me about the things that should be done and of course to Motojima-san who is patient enough to react on my strange questions.

I am pretty sure I would never find such a workplace anymore in the future. JCC is indeed the most special place for a placement. Now as I don't work there anymore, I think I will miss my office with its wonderful view of Amsterdam city that makes everyone envies us for having such a nice view. Anyway, life must go on and I cannot stay too long looking back at what I have done at JCC. Let it be one of the most exciting experiences in my life. Honestly, I'm a bit too free and having less things to do now ^^.

Rie, I'm finished too. I think now I know how you felt when you handed over your place to me a year ago. I'm having that feeling too and it's quite hard to let go. Thanks for promoting JCC to me... :) and thank you JCC for giving me the best placement place.
