Arrived at VRU, we have a breakfast first at family mart. We need to sign our evaluation form before the farewell party started. I met all of my thai buddies, because I have 3 thai buddies haha. Som, Nutcat and Aern.

Watpangiw and Samkhok Squad wear kebaya for today. Another students from Indonesia almost wearing kebaya and batik, but some wear their regional traditional clothes. Also for students from philines, they wearing their traditional clothes. So many performance that introducing Indonesian and Philipines cultures, some of the performance are Indonesian traditional dance and Philipines traditional dance. We sing Indonesian National song together “Indonesia Pusaka”. Al and the other students from Phillipines tell us Phillipines traditional games, it’s quite interesting because all off the students play together 😀

Arrived in The Land of Smiles

Posted on by Fannisa Kamilia Lubna

Flight from Indonesia to Thailand is about 3 hours. My flight from Soekarno Hatta Airport is at 9AM, and we have to transit to Kuala Lumpur first. So Malaysia is my second country I’ve visited even though it is only transit at the airport haha.

After we arrived at KUL we have to wait for the next flight. after we arrived at the airport we are looking for money changer to change rupiah to ringgit Malaysia bcs we didn’t change rp to bath before we come there. I’m a little bit chegrined bcs I didn’t change my money to rm too at GMC when I changed my money to baht and dollar haha. never mind.
There is a lot of free Wi-Fi in the airport, YES! So I can connect to the internet and chat with my friends in Indonesia.
Not long after we know that the flight is delayed for about 1 hour, we have to wait for a little bit longer. we pray (shalat) while we wait for the next flight.

We arrived DMK on 7pm, there is a little bit hard to find free Wi-Fi, bcs you have to register before you use the Wi-Fi. not long after, I have to go to the immigration for my suitcase. before I take my suitcase I have to fill the departure card.
Me and Mia met Chicha and Jaka from UNP at the immigration. After we take our suitcase, we met VRU buddies and Ajahn Neung that will pick up us to the dormitory.

Met Ajahn Neung and Thai Buddies, also the other students

We use a van to go to the dormitory, in the van we chitchat a lot of things. Ajahn Neung tell us that he have been in Bali and Surabaya for one week October last year. Arrived in dormitory I can’t connect to the internet bcs I haven’t buy a SIM card either there is no Wi-Fi so I can’t tell my family that I have been arrived in Thai.

  • food for dinner from VRU
  • VRU Dorm

I sleep in the room number 106, here is my dorm. I’m a little bit scared bcs I still alone at that time bcs my roommate from Phillipines will be arrived here at midnight so I have to be brave haha.

First Flight ❤

This is my first time going abroad. fortunately I’m with Mia, so I’m not alone fly to Thailand. I like when the airplane is flying through the sky. It feels like you are in the cotton candy, looks very smooth and I wanna touch it hahaha.
