I've arrived to Jakarta, 11 hours by plane to Istanbul and another 11 to Jakarta. I hopped off the plane to find myself in a city of 11 million with no where to stay, speaking absolutely no Bahasa Indonesian. I wasn’t feeling well either and luckily stumbled across a very caring Jakartan taxi man who was willing to take care of me during the ride. I went straight to bed, trying to adjust to the 12 hour time difference and eager to get to Yogya.
When I arrived to Yogyakarta, Yoana and Cantya picked me up at the airport. I was nervous to meet my new host family, unsure of what to expect. I was happy to realize that Dito would be my host brother as he is an AIESECer and the one who interviewed me 3 weeks prior to my departure. Dito helped me settle in to my new home for the next 7 weeks. Dito’s mother is the owner of a catering business here in Yogya, and lucky for me, Dito explained that I would get home cooked meals, many of which, better than my own mothers home cooking, and that’s saying a lot! From then on, I knew I was in good company.
