Erasmus Outcome [Is it Life Changing ?] Special Thanks for all my friends
What I Feel, What I Thought Before and After.
I stared write this blog H-2 before leaving Greece.
Ya I will leaving in first of August....
To be honest after all the mess and problems that I got in first 3 months I always thought that I will never and ever Miss my Erasmus life. Greece is suck!
But I think I was wrong like people said ' You never find out you're falling love until it become memories'
Love... ya... after Shyam, Pema and Saira leaving I really feeling sad...~ Now I realise even we rare meet each other but with they here [even different city] I felt my friends, my sister, brothers, family was here... they make me felt save..
Find this feeling that you're not alone its really feeling good. Also, in each time we spent together are precious.

But ya... after they all leaving I felt 'I'm alone'... No friend and I always thinking how if Sunny go home, and Mim also go... so I will alone[But good Im leaving before them.. hehe sorry guys!].
After this 'Melo' feels I started to taking picture for all place where I stay, the city, the street, all...~ and I try to review again this 10 months. I think is not that bad...
After 10 months I find friends, new family, experiences[good and bad], give me more options about life, open my mind about problem...~ how to face problems... Everything!

Lets review my 10 months experience all good and bad thing
First experience, like I was write in my previous blog about How they[Erasmus] Cancel my scholarship It's teach me the Real meaning about 'nothing is impossible'. So when you get your Scholarship. Erasmus or any kind of Scholarship you have to be careful because maybe they might cancel your scholarship even if you already get your invitations letter or insurance. Although even you already get your flight ticket. Because I just find out my experience is not the first experience people get cancel in Erasmus....~ Everything could happen [Bad and Good thing] and nothing impossible if you keep try. This is big message that I get in 10 months.
Second lesson everything too much is not good. So, don't too much happy also sad when problems come... just show them you're deserved to get this scholarship and you will try hard to enrol again in this scholar.
I hope the cancelations it will not happen again for any one. But, If its happen I would like to help as much I can.
Then..~
My Second experience that I face is Visa problems which I need 2 months to get this visa. Really is never easy for me to got this Erasmus also Going to Greece. Out of I not smart or just lucky I felt that I deserved to proud of my self that because I tried hard! Really hard to come here!
Thanks for Eka who always support me when this cancelations happen.

Then also My third experience is 'My first semester' which also never easy for me ... because too much expectations. Then I felt discrimination and people not accepting me... After 10 months I try to put my positions as they[Greek peoples]. Now I realise I think is normal responses...Because as you know, now days .... when all the media full of news that told you Islam is Fanatic religion, They killed people, They hate another religions, ISIS, Refugee, and all stuff. Than when you never had muslim in your countries and suddenly you met them first time in your life of course you will look at them, maybe some people scared of you, make joke of what you used, hate you for no reason.
But, thanks to Allah they never do bad thing to me so... what you need if you're muslim and using hijab here Close your ears and be strong. . . They need time to know you more also be friend with you. Patients.
Actually when I had that experience [discrimination] It help me to find The 'True Friends'. Who will accepting you just they way you are. Like George who give me drive when bus people drop me in middle of street and it was midnight...Also Maria She really help me to go and back from my university in my first day going to university. Give me guide also explanation about University. Then Julia help me for first time going to Heralkion.. and (again) Maria bank CS when another lady really rude with me she help me with respect and kind.

All the process give me good experience about how I should survive and be strong by myself. Some of them just do annoying things. Maybe they just scared, some of them curious, but there are always good people between bad people and bad people between good people...
Sometime I felt guilt to take of my hijab and not try more hard to give time for them know me more. But ya....~ all decisions give me 'Lesson'.
Then, my experience to do my Erasmus (university life). In the beginning I the only one came late in middle of semester then should find Professor each courses. This is my first experience I have to meet and 'offering' them to take me as student in their class. I learn how to be confident, but seriously meet with 'Prof' or 'Lecturer' in Greece is more easy then you have to see or meet your 'Prof' in Indonesia. They will never make you wasting you time, with not on time meeting. They are so friendly, helpful and kind. When you not understand with your assignment they will help you, explain it for you and give alternative resources for read. Not make you more in trouble.
Get rejected, Email Prof again and again, Find new Prof and New courses its not easy... In the beginning, I always feel scare and sad when they reject me. But now I found out they reason why they not receiving me as student 1. they not speak english, 2. they have some requirement which it will hard for Erasmus student to do it, The 3. I came in middle of semester ....~ meh.
But after get all courses and Prof. Laziness is my enemy because most of them only give an Essay, Presentations, Review and discuss about one book, Go for exam. Also, stay far from university and I had no class! [Only greek] It's make me more lazy to going to library or do my assignment.

That why I always ask my friend to invite me when they go to library...~ Out of my laziness University Lib was awesome!
1. Good wifi...~[one and the most important for Indonesia people. Wifi!]
2. Collections is awesome! one book had some translations like English, Germany, Spain and Greek of course.
3. The view! you can see Sea from library make you forget about time..... and study [hahaha]
Seriously my first semester was mess because I felt have no friends, everyone look bad on me...~ they are racist, Greek people so not understanding which make me felt not going anywhere even going to university. I cant manage anything, even my courses and my task.
Because I had this bad experience using hijab [ When I go for traveling to another countries I decide to not used my hijab and I really surprise they[Greek] become nice. In this experience I was traveling with Ship. Also I met some friends one of them was Mr..... He was 70 years old maybe.? He was Prof. also lecturer in Australia. We had very good conversation and we talked about Greece and people also religious. Then I just get curious to show my student Id. Which in that Id. I there are my pict with my hijab. Then... He is reactions make me pretty shock because he positions as Prof.[Phd student] also he was lecturer in Australia which also Australia one of countries had quite big muslim populations. He was asking me 3 time about 'But you're not fanatic right?' 3x! Then I just felt more curious. Directly I asked him
Me: 'If you meet me using my hijab what you will do?'
Mr: 'I will not speak with you.'
Me: '............. Why? '
Mr: 'You knew most of them[muslim] are fanatic. I scared'
So... ~ at that time I though never put high expectations you will get good response or respect.
Then my second time I not used my hijab when I back from my traveling from Portugal.
Actually I was used my hijab from Portugal to Athens.
But...~ on the way home [airport-port] I didn't know that there was a demonstration causing a bad traffic on that day. Soo ... most of public transportations' drivers didn't want to work except taxi and bus. I went to visit the embassy in Athens. [I've decided to still visit it because I ever meet with the embassy people they said the right way when you visit other countries first of all. find your embassy give report you're there and bla-bla. so If there are any bad things like you lose your passport you will easily get the copy also when there is a natural disaster, it will easy for embassy to evacuate you].
Because it was a traffic and the condition in the bus were crowded, even I tried to get out from bus when I arrived to my destination yet I couldn't. moreover in a situation I brought a bag and suitcase with me.... -_- People were not try to help me at all.
After moving from one bus to another bus. It really bad and I felt tried... After that some one help me guide me and company me to another bus stop also bought me bus ticket and make sure I go with right bus.
Then finally I reach Indonesia embassy.
My story its not end until... Now I knew why bus was pack at that time because it was strike. But, at that time I don't even know there are strike and people from my embassy also not telling me about what happen that day. So when I try back to Port and went[again] by bus. on my way I met with 3 ladies used HIJAB also. In the beginning they all smile at me. Because it was pack they was stand around me... my back, my right and left side.... and after sometime people start get out from the bus. I saw my bag was open!
Damn!
Then I looking to that 3 ladies and open my bag, check my phone and my wallet. Good its still there. without think too much I choose to get out from the bus. But again... bus was not pack like before but that 3 ladies stand around me...
I just go out quickly and hold my bag strongly.
After all the drama... right when I reach my place .... I decided 'okay... I take of my hijab' Thennn I felt more confident because they thought I'm Chines/ Japan/ Korean and the way the curious its more positive way. They smile at me, greet me also.
Me: 'If you meet me using my hijab what you will do?'
Mr: 'I will not speak with you.'
Me: '............. Why? '
Mr: 'You knew most of them[muslim] are fanatic. I scared'

How Indonesia Embassy work here. I learn how to speak english, Greek. How to deal with people. Friends... How Asian and European people...
I like the study system here because Prof. never show the Gap. Not like when you tried speak with your lecturer and they act like 'i'm lecture give me respect','I smarter than you' also 'Your opinion was wrong!'
If I had chance I really want to shared my story to everyone.
