I spent a summer in
Turkey, doing volunteer work under AIESEC programme. I also traveled around
some cities in Turkey.
It is definitely a life
changing experience for me because under the programme I made a lot of
international friends from around 20 different countries. The different
cultures of different countries broaden my horizon and my knowledge about the
world.
We had been through a
lot together. We argued on some issues in our preparation for our duties and we
had a lot of fun together. After all, we know that it's only the work that we
argued but not our personalities so we are still good friends. There are a lot
of jokes arising from different personalities of different people from
different countries.
It is not that difficult
to live abroad especially when you have local friends. The major problem is the
language people use in Turkey. Most of them don't speak English so I sometimes
found difficulties when looking for what I want. I used body languages or found someone that
can speak English to express what I want to say.
I guess not everyone in
Indonesia can speak English so I think it's really important to share the idea
that people should start using English for their normal life.
