I have many friends from different province. From my friends I know a lot of new things, like languages, foods, and the most one is I know what they called friendship. With friend, every challenges in our study like bulk of duty, family’s problem, even though until the smallest thing that appear in our days, we passed together.
Since I studying in pharmacy, I learn about Kupang’s Language, Dayak’s Language and Javanese. From my friend where from Kupang city who named ermen, nitha and iphone, I learned about Kupang’s language, for the example “beta” means I , “sonde” means no, etc. Learn directly from my friends and everyday to practice it, make me so suave right now. For its foods, I know about “se’I”. Se’I is smoke meat which made from beef or pork. This smoke meat is delicious and this food become special food from Kupang ( is the city where in east Indonesia).
Then, there is my friend from the middle Kalimantan, her name is liani. From her I can learn about Dayak’s language. For the example “kam” means you, etc. Until this day, I still cannot speak that language very well, maybe I am not frequently practice it. When she comes back from her holiday, I get some gifts from her. One of many is a crispy snack food chip which made from flour and fish. This snack or food called “Amplang”. So yummy! This food becomes the special food from her hometown.
For the last one, I have copious friends from Java. They are vivi, ika, faput, sutep, sekar, umi, novia, and many more! I can’t mention them one by one. From my friends I learned much enough about the Javanese language. I often practice it with them and this language already become daily speech. For the example “kula” means I, “kowe” means you, “ora” means no, “yo” means yes, etc. For the foods, I know about “potil”. This is snack which made from cassava. I got that snack from my friend vivi who from Magelang city in west Java. Then I know cake named “tiwul”, which made from cassava too. This soft cake is delicious. First time I taste this cake from sekar. This soft cake is the special food from Wonosari city in the west Java.
Not only about language and foods, the important things that I learn from my friend is Love. Love each other like we are a big family. Many friends with many differences make me change. More appreciate all kinds of difference. The distinction of every people is beautiful!
Thank you for being my friends and give me a lot of new things in my life.
