Hello everyone. My name is Haruka Okumura. I’m
a graduate school student at Hokkaido University. Now, I am at IPB in
Indonesia.
Three weeks have passed since I arrived in
Indonesia. This is the first time for me to come to Indonesia. I will stay here
for 3 months from October to December.
Since I arrived here, I’ve been surprised
at many points, hot weather, crowded people, many cars and motorcycles and so
on. However, I am really enjoying my stay in Bogor! My supervisors and new
friends are very kind. And this is an important point, every food tastes good
(in Bahasa Indonesia, enak)!

I stay at international dormitory in
campus. I’m so lucky because the dormitory is very close to campus :). The
dormitory is clean and comfortable for me.
On 10th October, I was invited to a marriage ceremony at IPB International Convention Center in Botani. I wore the traditional clothing kebaya.

I had never seen such a gorgeous ceremony before. I heard later that the number of guests was beyond 2000 (so many..). I was happy to see the beautiful bride and gloom. I also enjoyed traditional dance and foods.

The main purpose of my stay is research
about child development and parental skills. I attended some parental meeting
and discussion.
