One Day

A New Experience


One day, I and one of my friends went to TMII to looking for the foreigner. We have an assignment from my speaking teacher to ask a foreigner about some topic. Thanks God, I got an easy topic. My topic was about music. I think everyone loves music, so do I. At the first, it was quite difficult to find any foreigner. Because it was Sunday, many people came to there at that time.
Actually, before that day I have got two foreigners that I have asked about. I found them in one of residence in Depok. They are a couple from United States who came to Indonesia to learn Indonesian literature in UI Depok. The husband is named David and the wife is named Kristen. They did not stay longer in here. They just take a short course for only six months. When I was there, we have a nice conversation. Not only about music, but also anything. I recognize that I felt so nervous at that time, because it was my first time to talk with the foreigner. Not forget, I recorded our conversation, because it was my teacher want as the evidence. At the last, I have to take a picture with them. Fortunately, they taken my picture on their camera too and we also exchange our phone number to keep contact each other.
Okay, back to TMII. After that day, I haven’t give up to looking for more foreigners to ask about. Because, I think it was the one way to improve my English. Finally, when we visited West Sumatra building, we found out two foreigners at there. With a nervous feeling, we introduced our self and said what our purpose. Because it was the time to have lunch, then we sat and done the conversation on Padang restaurant. They said that Padang food is their favorite food. Both of they are came from England. The woman is named Catherine and the man is named Jack. My friend asked the women about tourism and I asked the man about music. We have a nice conversation on music. Instead we exchange about differences of music between British music and Indonesian music. Our conversation took about an hour. And then we excused to go and letting them to continue their traveling.
The clock showed 2 o’clock. We decided to go back home. But, when we are on the way to go home, we met three foreigners anymore. Yeah.. Obviously, we closed to them to tell what our purpose. They are from France. They are here to take some travel. One of them couldn’t able to speak English. So, we interviewed just two of them. It was so different between English speaker and France speaker. But, it was not big matter. We took a short conversation, because it was on the street and they are in hurry to go home. So, there is no more conversation beside the topic.
Then, we go home with a new experience. Hope that someday I also could visit their country. Amin….
