Let me tell you a little about Univeristy of Sydney , a place where I get my academic knowledge from , which was well-known as the oldest university in Australia. Well.. it was represented by the old buildings around the campus ( figure ). The first time I came here, this university was confusing. It’s hard for me to memorise every road and building in it and no wonder if I often got lost heheh…by the way I suggest that you have to be fit every time because you suppose to use your feet walking around the campus. I don’t want to compare this university with other universities in Indonesia. Here, everything is computerised. Probably we have left 1000 steps behind, but no worries.. I’m sure that someday Indonesia is going to chase it ( be optimistic ). I had an experience when facing a machine which could add our credit to student card for using copying machine. I asked a man, an international student too, how to use it because never had in my life time I used machine like that. I told him honestly that in my country there’s no such a machine. Poor yuni , I whispered in my heart.
Now I’d like to tell you about the students profile here. They came from different cultural background, I guess that there must be, at least one student represented countries all over the world. When orientation week was held, I noticed that probably there were only 15 students from Indonesia, not a big number huh. I don’t’t know much about their lifestyles, but perhaps they were free thinkers. I could take such a conclusion from the way how they dress and socialise. Most of the ladies used topless or backless dresses which showed part of their body and they kissed each other in front of public with no shame. Absolutely, it’s not eastern culture and I was shocked for the very first time saw it by myself . I have to clean my eyes everyday with istighfar….Suddenly I miss my previous environment . There is the place where I belong !
