End of 2013. What a Wonderful Year!!! (Part 1)

YES!!! It was a wonderful year. :) There were so many things that I have done in that year. It started from in the middle of 2013 (On August), I received the announcement that finally I could go to the U.S. and also I got a host family, Lawson's family. Thanks Beth, Keith, Andy that have already be my super wonderful and great host family since I arrived in Topeka, Kansas. Thanks to Jaime that have already be my cool brother from another mother, another father, and another country. :) Last but not least thanks to Max and Ruby to be my funny and cute host pet that I have ever had. Thanks to my family back home (Aji, ibu, and Agung), all peoples in chapter Surabaya, my friends in Indonesia or in Topeka, Kansas, and my L.C. (Anita). I love you all and thanks to be a great part of my family and my life.  

To close close my 2013, I will post some stories that I have done until the end of 2013. Let's enjoy that guys and I hope you like it. :)

November, 2013 

November 19th, 2013. It was a nice day to go out. In that day, Discovery club went to winter wonderland in the Lake Shawnee. We went there to check some light in the winter wonderland. Winter wonderland was a place where the festival of Christmas light was held. It was so nice could help to check the light because this festival was held by a independent organization which only few people that set all that lights. We were having fun too in the small playground near that place. It was so fun. In the next week of that day, we went there again to have a tour to go around see all the light in the night. It was so beautiful night. Before that we went to Chucke Cheese. That place is a good place to have fun. We were so happy to play some games in that place. Here the link of the video during our visit in Chucke Cheese : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWs-3fEbQWA&feature=c4-overview&list=UUtX5ENW-4ytmN27ycIPq7eg. Thanks Cadence for the video. :)

November 22nd, 2013. International Education Week!!! As a exchange student in my school, I got a chance to present my presentation about Indonesia. It was a cool day for me. I was so proud to share about my culture and also information about my country. Mostly all the audience were enjoying my presentation and so excited to hear until I finished all my presentation. Thanks for all of you guys! :)

November 28th, 2013. Thanksgiving day!!! It was my first time to have it in my life. Before I arrived in the U.S., my perspective about Thanksgiving is where we can eat a big roasted Turkey. That was true. We ate that big turkey. Also there were another food which are delicious. I liked that day so much. A good day to eat many foods. We celebrated that day in Pam's house. She is my host mother's sister. In this day, I met another member of my big host family. It was so nice could meet and talk with them. What a nice day was. :)

November 30th, 2013. Even though the Christmas day still in the next month but, I felt that it was getting closer. There were so many Christmas events that have already held to celebrate that day. One of the earliest was the Christmas parade in capitol. It was one of the biggest event that was held in my city, Topeka. I was not just an audience of that parade, but I was being a part of that parade. Why could I do that? It was because YMCA borrowed my host father's piano (Actually it is not a piano, but it is like piano and I forget what is the real name of it). So, because of that, Keith (my host father) and me could be a part of parade with YMCA. It was so cool. I met another exchange student too. Gaia from Italy and Cecilia from Germany. Nice to meet you and having fun with you during the parade. It was a cool night. :)
