I feel so grateful having a democratic dad. He allowed me to go overseas for studying and always support me for every activity that i wanna involve in as long as its in the right way. I really feel lucky remember how hard it is for my friends who's strictly forbidden going out from their country. Well, there's plus and minus anyhow. I'll never forget January 16th 2010. It was my big day. I've never been out from my country before, even for a holiday (sad!). And that day, i feel like i' m gonna be free and moving forward. Eventhough i've been living without my parents since i' m 9th years old, but its different. Its about living completely alone and extremely independent (and extremely far!). Well, not extremely independent, i'm exagerate, my dad still gives me money for living anyway, but its just awesome.
As i arrive, i just think that i have to be stronger and thougher than before. Indonesia, where's religion is taking a big part of the country and the gouvernement, is a completely different country with France, where's everything is set to be free, Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité. Many people are Atheist in France, although they do celebrate chirstmas every year. They dont believe in God and they consider religion as an old-fashioned thing. Well, these differences makes me think over and over again about my self and my own life. Since i was born, i do what i have to do because someone's told me that i have to do so. And now, i have to find out by my self all that i gotta do. Why, why and why?!
By the way, there's something that makes me a little bit confuse. There's this guy, he's a moeslem and really strict about what he eat. Pork, no pork, vin, champagne, cognac, etc. Which is haram and which is halal. BUT, he's having sex, which is extremely forbidden in Islam, he's drunk, which is completely forbidden in Islam, and he hit the club so often, which is bad in Islam. I don't understand. Well, thats his life anyway. But its just, bizzare.
There's just so many things that i have to adapt and i'm trying to integrate with my new environment. But one thing that i'm impressed by the frenchs, they do appreciate the people who dont drink, or smoke, and stick to their principe and religion. 10 from 10 for them.
Anyway, i have a great room here in my dormitory university. With a nice neighborhood. And got some nice friends from Romania, Korea, Malaysia, America, etc. This is a really priceless experience of my life.

did u feel any inferiority complex? let them be a atheist but you stick with your religion. it's not that mean you can do whatever you want.
yeah, i admit that is hard to live from other country with different culture, skin, religion, food etc. have you experienced culture shock? when you arrived in france till now.
well.. its in your hand as long you can adapt all the situation without damaging yourself. i hope you know which is good and which is bad.
