    3. Karolina Gutkowska from Poland

      Travelling to a country is not the same what living in another country. I have this opportunity in Indonesia. For a person from Europe, living in an Asian country was certainly a challenge. This challenge turned out to be an incredible, unforgettable adventure that allowed me to gain technical experience, learn different cultures, languages, traditions, meet so many amazing people and the more I explored, the more I fell in love with the place.

      I would like to thank IAESTE for giving me that opportunity. For me it will be always AMAZING INDONESIA. This experience is definitely something I will never forget in my life.

        • Henry’s Birthday Party
        • August 7th is henry’s birthday and he will be back to Vietnam on August 8th . Although we just had known each other less than ten days, I still be proud of I have a friend from Vietnam.Almond is the restaurant that we usually have dinner together and hold the party.

          • Timang

          This amazing place really shocked me. I stood in front of the Indian ocean, listened to the sound that water hit rock, felt the wind from the boundless ocean. This is the gift from nature and nature is the real artist in the world. In front of natural, human beings are so small.

          • Mangunan & Bali

          At the end of August, my younger sister came to Indonesia. My buddy Dion and Arriya’s buddy Ipo took us to see the forest which Obama ever visited.

          Bali is a famous Island of Indonesia, so we spent one week in Bali and travelled a lot of amazing tourist places.

 

  1. Arriya Daengpanklang from Thailand

The internship opportunity I had with Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta was a great chance for learning and professional development. Therefore, I consider myself as a very lucky individual as I was provided with an opportunity to be a part of it. I am also grateful for having a chance to meet so many amazing people who led me though this internship period. This is my first time in Indonesia, I had so much fun here. I had participated in many activities such as short course program, cultural center of Cultural and Language Training in Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta.The main reason, why I chose to come to Indonesia was to see and live in a completely different culture and to get some knowledge about these cultures, people and livings. At my university that I had internship, I had a starting course in the first semester to get to know the university and students. In many courses I met a lot of students who interested in my culture, we had exchanged and shared how difference between our cultures. The people in the institute were very friendly and welcoming and within the first week I have already found several colleagues who showed me around the city. There were also several excursions organized and paid for by the University. On one of those excursions I and the IAESTE Indonesia staffs went to Dieng plateau, Indonesia. The place is a great place to visit. The people are very nice and especially the countryside is astonishingly beautiful. This trip is the first trip that I met many students, who went on an internship in countries all over the world. We got to know each other and spent time together in this trip, they told me about their experiences and the organizations with whom they went.

We had a great friendship and big connection with all friends from different countries. In the end I can say I had a wonderful time in Indonesia, I learned many things about the Indonesian culture, people and also religions. I got a lot of new impressions and amazing experiences, which will last forever.Nevertheless I have to say that this internship was one of the greatest experiences in my life, thanks to all the nice people in Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta and the IAESTE Indonesia who made this for me all the uncountable memories that I will cherish for life. I really appreciate that there are organizations like IAESTE, who made this happen.

Thank you IAESTE!!!
