Happy December!!!

Hello! Hello! Hello Amigos! :D

Happy December!!!

Yap, it's almost five months I spend my exchange year in USA. Time runs so fast, doesn't it? And now is December when almost every building here are decorated by red, white, and green color... They are ready for Christmas. Almost everybody celebrate Christmas here. Alright, it's really different with Christmas celebration in Indonesia. During my observation, people celebrate Christmas here as part of their culture. So I sometimes find although they are not Christian or Catholic but they celebrate Christmas. Christmas cards and presents are everywhere.

And last December, 7 2012, we all exchange students had meeting in Thai Restaurant, Raleigh. It was Christmas meeting. I came at the meeting in order to respect them and also hanged out with other exchange students, made new friends.^^ Santa also came at our meeting. He was one of host family who tried to make us happy by dressing as Santa Claus. It was the first time for me to see Santa for real because I usually find it in the movies only. -___-

We love North Carolina!

Action with Santa :D

Cheers before eating!!!

We are YES students :)

Exchange students are cool!

Me, Miriam, and Santa

December is also familiar with holiday and snow. Well, my placement is in Smithfield, NC. Because NC is almost in the south, so it might be snow this year. I hope! I really wait for snow. But still, whatever the condition, I really grateful with what Allah has given to me. This opportunities and experiences will be very meaningful in my life. and I'll always remember it. Warm regards from Smithfield :)
