You: good morning from her

Stranger: didn't think Indonesia was only 6 hours, wow
You: wow, great. i'm still studying German studies
Stranger: for real?
Stranger: sspeaking german too?
You: ja, aber nur ein bisschen.
Stranger: schade!
Stranger: aber Übung macht den Meister
Stranger: I don't speak indonesian though

You: ja, ja, actually now is my 8th semester learning german studies
You: it's okay. indonesia is in south east asia
Stranger: I know where Indonesia is ^^
You: near with singapora. and yes, our language is indonesia
You: where do you live in germany?
Stranger: near the North Sea
Stranger: near Bremen
You: i know that. i have big map of germany in my room
You: haha
Stranger: ;)
Stranger: why did you start german studies?
You: because in high school i learned the language, but only language.
You: i'm curious because germany seems a great country, so i study further
You: here in german studies, i learn your language, culture. literature, etc.
You: i really wanna go there someday
Stranger: I like that
Stranger: you should, we have great beer
Stranger: and cultural stuff too I guess :P
You: haha, i will. wait for my saving
You: last october we celebrated Kulturfest.
You: it's an annual event for us
Stranger: what do you do there?
Stranger: and how many students are doing this?
You: the staff is about 240 students, but we also invite another people from other university
You: we did a lot of activities
Stranger: I'm just wondering why you don't call it Oktoberfest
Stranger: as it's in Oktober ^^
You: dance (your traditional dance), singing your song, cooking demontration, etc. we invite people from embassy
Stranger: we have a traditional dance? ^^
You: yeah, actually the concept is like oktoberfest. but it's different right, the feel of octoberfest in germany must be very different with what we have here. so we named it kulturfest
You: i am not sure, haha
You: but the dancer wear dirndil, etc
Stranger: well that is german definetly
Stranger: well at least bavarian
You: yes, yes
You: i wanna have the real oktoberfest in Germany. haha
Stranger: never been there either
Stranger: It's hard to get seats and very expensive
Stranger: the real deal in Munich at least
You: i know that. that's why i keep googling for scholarship to go there
You: like scholarshio for summer course, etc
Stranger: Well if there are any you should ask at the embassy shouldn't you?
Stranger: You're in Jakarta right?
You: yes,
You: i wanna prove everything we had learn here.
You: but it is really difficult to get scholarship. the competition is so hard
Stranger: I can see that, with 250 students
Stranger: hey if you got any questions, this is the chance of your life :D
You: ya. last year two friends got summer course scholarship from DAAD. They were there for one month
You: yes, i have question,
You: do you have any scholarship info from university or whoever. haha
Stranger: Well I know that my university has a lot of exchange students, but mainly from engineering
You: almost desperate since this year is my last year being a students of german studies
You: ya, ya, i get that.
Stranger: Problem is that while european universities have huge exchange problems, it is like 98% intereuropean
You: it's esy for europen but a little bit difficult for asian
Stranger: well my university has no connections to Indonesia
Stranger: at least that's what the site says
You: unless you're a really smart students. unfortunately i'm not the smartest one.
You: which university you study?
Stranger: I'm in Oldenburg
You: but, maybe you have any info, i'll really need that. please send it to my email. it's .........
Stranger: I guess I can keep my eyes open
Stranger: but don't get your hopes up
You: vielen dank :)
You: no, i'm an optimistic people. there's a lot of way to reach what i want
Stranger: are you at the swiss german university?
You: no, i am at Universitas Indonesia
You: in SGU they have chance to take internship in germany
Stranger: yeah I just read that
You: that's why the cost in SGU much more expensive than mine
Stranger: hm typical
You: because they get guarantee to go there. so only, rich people have opportunities to study there
Stranger: well that's the way of the world
Stranger: I gotta stay here too
Stranger: well I like it here so it's alright
You: i've heard that study in public school is free. is it right?
Stranger: depends on the part of Germany
Stranger: in Lower Saxony you have fees
You: in which part is free?
Stranger: though they might get abolished soon
Stranger: All except Lower Saxony, Hamburg and Berlin i think
Stranger: but I'm not sure
You: why it will be abolished? due to the crisis in europe?
Stranger: Na we got a more workercentric government
Stranger: and they want to make poorer people be able to go to university
Stranger: so they abolish fees
You: miss understanding is here. i thought the (free) fee will be abolished. but actually the fee itself.
You: am i right?
Stranger: yeah the fee itself will be abolished
Stranger: we won't have to pay anymore in a year
Stranger: well at least less
You: where will be started?
You: *when
Stranger: 2014
Stranger: Fall
You: so, since that time all fee will be abolished. or at least the fee will be decreased
Stranger: 1000 Euro less per year
Stranger: so then ~500 Euro per year left
You: wow, that must be a really good news for people there
Stranger: Yeah my parents are glad!
You: yeah, especially for parents.
You: you have brother/sister?
Stranger: both
Stranger: an older brother and a little sister
You: cool. here i have 2 brothers and two sisters.
Stranger: big family!
Stranger: Hey just gotta inform you, in ~4 minutes my internet will crash
You: can i have your email? it's a really good conversation with you
Stranger: ..................
You: what's your name?
Stranger: Niklas
Stranger: ^^
You: i'm rindang btw
Stranger: got that from your eMail ;)
You: yeah, to make it clear
You: last october angela merkel visited indonesia
You: politic thing, i think
Stranger: I guess so, she's travelling a lot
You: the rumor said, indonesia wanna buy some weapons from your country
You: but, it's followed by pro-contra
Stranger: yeah a lot of countries want to buy german weapons
Stranger: I wish theyd abolish weapon industry
You: totally agree with you. if there's no weapon. then there will be no war
You: sometimes i think, that the country who sell weapon also have contribution in making war
Stranger: they definetly do
Stranger: a lot of blood on our hands
You: yeah, but since weapon industry make alot of money. so maybe it's impossible to stop the production
Stranger: that's the reasoning behind it yes
Stranger: I still don't like it
You: it's all about money actually.
You: see what happen with Greek?
You: they are almost bankrupt
Stranger: yeah
Stranger: europe screwed up
Stranger: big time
