“morning Nara”, greet Miss Aira who is already in my house.
“morning too Miss”, reply me a little spirit
“Wow, looks like you are ready to learn”, says Miss Aira
“how was your holiday yesterday?”, continued Miss Aira
“I'm very happy Miss. I learned a lot from my holiday yesterday”, I replied
“oh yeah?, where were you yesterday?”
“I went to the Louvre museum in Paris, eat at a halal restaurant, prayed at the Paris Mosque, finally to the Eiffel Tower. Did you know Miss, it turns out that there is a painting of Maryam's mother wearing a hijab with the words la ilaha illallah. Next, Miss, I went to the Paris Mosque, I was very comfortable there, my longing for a mosque atmosphere finally came true.next I went up to the Eiffel tower, I could see the city of paris from the top of the Eiffel tower.”
“wow it looks so fun”, say Miss Aira
“I’m very fun Miss”, reply me
“ok, it's time for us to learn”, Miss Aira's order
“okay Miss”
About 2 hours Miss Aira taught me.

Our journey is very far. I have to take a train to get there. About 2 and a half hours to get to Strasbourg.
The University of Strasbourg (Unistra) is a public research university located in Strasbourg, Alsace, France. The number of students reached 52,000 students and 3,300 researchers. Initially, the university emerged from the German nation, but gradually and through the history of the existing university eventually became the property of the French nation and was renamed the University of Strasbourg in 1621. The campus is located between bus-trem station “Cite Administrative”, “Esplanade” and “Gallia”. You can read the history on the website.
“Miss every day covered the distance so far?”, ask me
“iya Nara's. But thankfully Miss college came in the afternoon. So you taught Miss to go straight to campus. Miss came home late, so until Miss's apartment could be midnight it was Nar”, explained Miss Aira
“so sorry Miss. Miss why not stay near campus?” ask me curious
“length story Nar”, said Miss Aira as if not want to tell the story
“hemmm”, answer me briefly.
Finally we arrived at the Miss Aira campus. I saw him so amazed. A charming old building. Many students passed by.
“you wait Miss in the bus first ya”, say Miss Aira
“ok Miss”, answer me
I started looking for books I could read.
Not so long ago, Miss Aira approached me on the perpus.
“already read it?”, say Miss Aira
“yok we walk again, so not too late we go home. We eat first yuk in canteen”, invite Miss Aira
“ok Miss”
Quite satisfied for me to surround the campus Miss Aira. I asked a lot of questions about Miss Aira. I also take photos and understand the world of college. I became interested in studying at a top university and could get a scholarship like Miss Aira.
“Nara will go to college where?”, asked Miss Aira
“not know Miss. But there is a desire to study abroad continue to get scholarships like Miss Aira”, I explained
“must be diligent to learn yes dear. Want to go to school where?”
“do not know Miss. It looks like she will be returning to Indonesia Miss. Maybe in a few months we will return to Miss” Indonesia, I explained
“oh yes?, waaahh Miss will miss you dong”
“night Nara heard the talk of mom and dad, if the father's job here is almost done, and will return to Indonesia in a few months. Is Miss from which region?”
“Miss comes from Bandung” area
“oh Bandung's. Waahh can dong later we meet if it is the same in Indonesia”, I say
“can dong. Ntar we are reporting aja aja darling”, continued Miss Aira.
This trip was very exciting, although a little tiring. Surround one of the famous campuses, and many lessons are also taken. Oh yeah, I didn't come home empty-handed for sure. I bought food for my mom and dad, and I also bought gifts for my friends.
