It is good to know how Indonesian students' life in Germany is. Especially for you, who will study there. You can get more description. Maybe you can also learn something from their experience.
Love Story
This is an interesting story. Ela (not her real name) was student at a university in Germany. She graduated from a famous university in Indonesia and got a scholarship to study in Germany. However she found her love there. She decided to marry the German guy and be housewife and didn't come back to Indonesia, to the university, which had sent her to Germany hoping her coming back as a lecturer at that university. Such was her life choice.
I Am Indonesian, I Eat Rice
Leni (not her real name) was student at the University of Hamburg. She brought a rice cooker into her apartment so that she could cook rice and eat rice. She didn't believe that she could live without rice. But sometimes she could eat Broetchen or any other German food. Although the scholarship was finish, she still could survive. She worked as a nurse for old people who lived alone in their apartments. Finally she finished her study and achieve the academic title and back to Indonesia. Thanks, rice!
Oops, It Doesn't Belong to Me!
Vivi (not her real name) was student at University of Tuebingen. She had lived in a special apartment for students (Wohngemeinschaft). There were students from many countries, who lived in that apartment. An interesting thing for Vivi was: everybody in that apartment honors everybody else' property. Nobody wants to steal something from the refrigerator, even if it is a small and cheap thing. You put something in that refrigerator, until it is expired, it is still safe there. But, in a student apartment in Indonesia, this can happen: you can loose your ice cream from the refrigerator. Maybe it will take only several hours and you cannot find your ice cream anymore in the refrigerator.
You Must Help Yourself
Ian (not his real name) was student at a university in Berlin. He had the most terrible experience in his life. One day he was sick and needed to go to the doctor. Nobody could take him there. Maybe nobody was in his apartment, I couldn't remember again. The fact was: he must go on foot. He was so weak and sick, but he must go. Sometimes he must creep because he couldn't walk and also nobody helped him on the way. Of course, he couldn't notice whether there was nobody on the street or there was somebody, but he won't help him. Thank God, he could finally arrive safely in the doctor's practice. How he went back home after that, I don't know anymore.
Oh, Oh, Everything Is Big!
Edwin (not his real name) was student at a famous university in Indonesia. He went to Hamburg because he dreamt a better life there. His interesting experience was: he must go to the teenager department if he wants to buy clothes, shoes, etc.. Sometimes he was so sad, because he could not find his size in a sale, which offered very big discount. It is very expensive if he always must buy those things in a department store, which currently doesn't offer a discount.
