Life orientation(1): Love and Happiness

Hi!

It's been more than a month I live here, and I should've told you this story a long time ago. But yeah, I got things to do (Yeah!) Hahaha, No I'm joking.
Well, I'm going to write about my orientations in this life (exchange life), for you who still don't know what orientation is in this case-for me; Orientation is a camp where "those who have" give good and IMPORTANT THINGS such as knowledge and experience to "those who need" so these people in need will be ready in their new life.
First thing's first,
The very first orientation, Chapter Orientation in my city from my sending country, MEDAN! yuhuuu

"12 People, 10 countries, 3 continents, 1 country; INDONESIA"
After the orientation and get ready for everything, here comes the farewell party, when we represented our local tradition and said goodbye to "local" friends

We make red as our colour and the sign of (mostly) our local ethnic; BATAK
Place: Medan, Indonesia 

Next, we came to our National Orientation, where everything was in bigger scale, more people, more things to talk about, more knowledge, still, all of us from the whole Indonesia, 16-17 years old kids who will go to sooo many different countries, another big step to the life. 
Some of friends (we're more than 140 kids), this photo is stupid, watch this to see our  orientation! #oriyba2014
After orientation, sure, farewell! We mixed each culture from almost every place and ethnic from Indonesia, we make it in one-big-short-performance, yuhu !

Yeah, we all have different clothes, see our performance! #NyanyianTanahAir
Place: Jakarta, Indonesia

And now, the orientation in my host country, Russia, when and where I met people from different countries from all over the earth( not gonna say the world, because there were no aliens and no people came to Russia with UFO). We- I learned more here and feel so...... Idk, all in one? You only can feel the sensation, sensation when you have to speak foreign languages all day long and listen to all different accents but, yeah, It was great!
Too many photos- but this is my favourite, 3-first-super brave-super cute-girls with our favourite voluunter, Danila!
PS: Excuse our faces, It was breakfast time when all of us still so sleepy and... jet lagged.

Next was the farewell party, here we called it "Multicultural Night" (if I'm not mistaken, I forgot things easily:(), we- from Indonesia gave spicy sauce to people and most of them couldn't handle it, we danced and made quiz about Indonesia, to know how far people from different countries know us and to let them know more:)

Sambal terasi became popular, yuhu!
Place: Moscow, Russia 

After one month here......
We have another orientation, but it was quite small because it was divided in some regions, complicated.
We were talking about our first month and got to know more friends in the same region. We went to the Volga River , the longest river in Europe yuhu!! It took a hard work to be there, up and down road, hiks, poor my legs! We also played some games, there was (IS) one game that we didn't finished yet, so we were about 10 people standing on a 1 carpet and we have to turn the carpet to the other side with the rule we have to keep stay on the carpet, and what happened? This...

I was considered as a small person, so someone put me on their back, yeah, mst be done. hahaha

Place: Cheboksary, Russia

"It is a life in one year, these orientations helped me to prepare my self and I felt- no- I'm feeling the love and happiness.. One month passed, others are waiting, what's next? let's see...." 

PS: This is a late post
PSS: I don't post the behind the scenes photos, they're crazy haha
PSSS: wait for another late posts, peace
