My friend really nice to me

Hi there,

Now is boxing day, one day after Christmas. They call it boxing day because in the old days they put the money in box for the offering in Christmas day, and in this boxing day all the money is in the box already empty because they already decide to give to charity or other places.

I will tell you what I am spent in Christmas day and today. In the morning of Christmas day I go to church and attend the ceremony there. And after that I go by feet to Indonesian friend (Lexy family). There is so many food there. I am quite amazed. There is Turkey, Opor, Lodeh, Bakso and Rujak Gobet. I am really full that time. Really enjoy that time and actually we been there until 1:30 and Dimas (one of my Indonesian friend ) take me home to Bridges Hall.

And in the boxing day I go to British Family house to eat lunch there. They provide me complete christmas dinner. Appetizer mushroom and cheese and then the main meal is Turkey with complete vegetables like Sprouts and other, and the last one for the dessert is Christmas Pudding and Jelly. There is something special about the Christmas Pudding, because it is come from the Queen. Their Son is working in Windsor Castle and for christmas they each have one. It must be the best one, or the expensive one. But I think the taste is the same ^^. I keep the name secret maybe because I still don't know them much and maybe they don't want to be exposed. I hope to show this picture is okay.

After that we talk a lot, about everything I guess, from Language, History, Culture, dissaster ... almost everything. and before I leave I take photo with the family, Here is the photo that I took with them

They are really nice family. The father is working in National Heritage, they keep the note that are important for all nation, and make them public. And the mother is working in Reading University as Lecturer. And their Son is studying in Master about History. Unfortunately the father maybe choked by food and that is why he feeling unwell all the time, and he in upstairs and not talking with us. We talk a lot and it's already 6, the father even go down to talk with us. I think they want to cook dinner maybe or want to do something else, but they don't know what they should say. At the last momment the father say something like I should drive you home to the other Student. And after that we get home. I feel that they are really nice for having us that many hours. Hope that it will happen again in the future. I want to know and make friends with many nice people. And I guess there is no wrong in develop friendship.

I have really nice dinner in several time near christmas time. I will show you the photo

Hi there,

Sorry I left you without any writing, my diary. Now I already in UK for almost three months. I quite happy here. I make a lot of friend, and they are really nice to me. I have a lot of fun here. traveling around UK is really amazing. I have already go to Edinburg Scotland, that is really nice place. Besides that I have already go to Windsor, Bath, Oxford, and London for many times. I really glad that I can receive the scholarship. I think that God is really nice to me. I am happy because my coordinator (Nia Alexandrov) telling me that I can come back for my thesis here. And I plan to have really good thesis, I will do my best for it.

Right now everything is really right and nice for me. There is so many friends helping me here around. I have nothing to worry about if I will live in UK but because I have to move to Greece, I feel a little bit worried about the riot in Greece. But I believe that God will protect me and bless me with everything that is good. Now is Christmas Eve ... I hope that I can be with my family in this special night, But ... I can't

Anyway ... Hope you will have Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ...
