Hi
all…
I want to share my activities at the last two weeks.
On 27th Oct 2013, I and fifteen friends from Indonesia participated
in Ishikari World Festival which was held by NPO Ishikari to introduce foreign
country’s culture to Ishikari Citizen. The event was attended by eighteen
countries and Indonesia was one of them. The Indonesian booth displayed
traditional music instrument “angklung”, Indonesian food, wayang (a type of puppet theatre), etc.
On 28th Oct 2013, I and two friends from
IPB, two from ITB, and two from UGM attended PARE Introduction Program for
Summer School in Indonesia and Thailand. The event was held in the Centennial
hall of Hokkaido University.
On 3rd
Nov 2013, I and some Moslem friends from Indonesia were invited by Mr. Sahat
(Indonesia Businessman who live and work in Sapporo Japan) to celebrate his
moving house to the new one. We were delighted for the invitation because he
serves Indonesia traditional food such as rendang
(a curry-like meat dish).
Before we go to his new house, I had taken time
to take some photos with the tree in autumn season as background.
On 9th Nov 2013, I was invited by Prof. Noriyuki
Tanaka (my sensei in Census) to the welcome party in Kushiyaki Oden
"Kon" Ekimae-ten. I had a chance to taste some Japanese foods, such
as sashimi, miso soup etc. Before we begin to eat, Nori sensei gave an opening
speech as welcome remarks. During dining we also had some discussions with each
other, and I felt very honored when I was given the chance to deliver speech as
new member in our Lab. All of them ordered Beer or Sake for drink, and you know
what?! Only I as a Moslem drank orange juice and mineral water… Really, it’s a
memorable experience..:)
Warm Regards,
Ari Suharto
