PART 65: Farewell to AIESEC University of Brawijaya Malang

 

 

JANUARY 7, FRIDAY

 

 

 

          In the evening, Rico arranged a farewell party dinner for me with the rest of the Aiesec UB. Dito and I rode with Fajar’s motorbike to go to the place. As we all know, 3 passengers in one motorcycle is a No-No. We passed by the streets fine, but when we are about to reach the restaurant by making a U-turn, just a few meters away at the U-turn slot were some policemen. Dito, without a helmet, and me as the third guy, had no choice but to JUMP OFF the motorcycle even while it was running 20kph. We jumped to the bushes of the island to cross the other lane and walked to the restaurant. Fajar just went on and we were not noticed. What an experience even in my last night in Malang.

 

 

 

          After dinner, the guys went to Irwin’s place for a drink. Aiesec UB has a new trainee staying temporarily at Irwin’s dorm before he moved to his apartment. This guy (Im sorry I forgot his name) is Turkish but lived & grew up in Germany where he joined aiesec.

 

 

 

 

 

JANUARY 8, SATURDAY

 

 

 

          The next morning, Ricky, Irwin’s friend drove me to Dito’s place coz he said he lives near there. From there, Dito & I went to the university where I met 2 Dutch guys, Peter & Margariet, whose having their own exchange program (not by aiesec) in another department. Then I waited for the rest of the guys to pick us up, have lunch and get together for the last time. This was my last meal in Malang.

 

 

 

          Rico, Wily, Dito, and Agung (without Bagus coz he was in Jakarta) all took me to the bus station to go back to Surabaya. Rico gave me a gift – a big box that I’m not suppose to open till I get to Manila. Then I give them a warm hug, as they are my own relatives.

 

 

 

          I was hoping that I will come back to Indonesia this March but in case I wont be able to return, I said my last “Good-Bye” to my dear friends who treated me well.
