On April 2018, my mom told me that our family was going to move to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She said that we’re going to move to Ethiopia on September 2018. At first, I thought that Ethiopia is a modern country. But then, my mom told me that Ethiopia wasn’t that modern like Indonesia. Because of that, I’m worried that I can’t feel a happiness like in Indonesia. I’m also worried to be a new student in a new school. In my old school, I told my friends & teachers that I’m going to go to Ethiopia for survey & for living there. They were shocked & ask me “do you really have to go there?”. Well, the answer is “yes! I really have to go there J”.

     On July 2018, we went to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the 1^st time to do the survey. We spent 5 nights at the Radisson Blu hotel. I feel like Ethiopia is a good country to live in. It has more animals in the city than most cities in Indonesia (imagine you can find eagles, donkeys, cows, kites, ibis, Ethiopian crows, Magpies, Mara storks in the city street!! so fun!).

     Finally, on September 2018 we moved to Addis Ababa. I felt so excited because I’m in a new country. Yet I felt so sad because I miss my family & I live far away from home. I also felt so nervous because I will be in a new school (ICS, International Community School of Addis Ababa). Luckily, I had so many friends at school. My best friend is Joseph Gudere, he’s half Kenyan & Norwegian.

     My activities at school are studying math, play soccer, UoI, science, PE, DCI, recess, eating lunch & snacks & doing After School Activities. My activities during weekend are watching YouTube, watching movies in Edna & Century mall. They have the best cinema place in town. Sometimes I go to museum near my house or travel to other places such as ICS, Wenchi crater lake, Portuguese bridge, Negash lodge, etc. I love to go to ICS during the weekend because it has 2 cool libraries & 2 gigantic soccer field that I can play on it. At home, I like to play with my toys.
