Zlin, Czech Republic

Starting from now, I'll try to write posts about cities I've been in from February to June. Let's get started with the first city! Zlin, Zlin, Zlin. A city full of people and memories left behind but will never be erased from my mind. Most people I talked to often asked me, "Where the hell is Zlin?" Well, I can say that it's a small city, well, compared to Jakarta of course. It's situated in southern Czech Republic state called Moravia. The city itself has a lot to do with Bata Shoes Company . Well, for Indonesians, I guess it's kind of a big deal because firstly, Bata Stores are everywhere in Indonesia, so I kind of thought that it's a local shoe store. But, guess what. It's from Europe! Back to the city. Zlin was a place where I lived for 5 months. I joined a student exchange program as a result of the cooperation agreement with the university there. Guess what the name is. Of course, Tomas Bata University . The View of Zlin from Bat...

Mural Mural on the Wall

Mural, mural on the wall. Who's the fairest of them all? Well , itu salah satu kalimat yang langsung ada di pikiran saat lagi mikir buat judul. Let me first introduce myself formally karena ini untuk tugas CB (Character Building) Interpersonal Development dari kuliahan. Nama: Clarissa Candrian NIM: 1701293383 Kelas CB/No. Absen: LD53/05 CB: Interpersonal Firstly , untuk projek akhir CB semester ini, saya dan teman-teman sekelompok (Cheryl, Elviani, Ganjar, Hadi, Regina, dan Stephent) berpikir untuk melakukan hal yang sesuai dengan jurusan kita. DKV! oi. Jadi, tercetuslah ide untuk buat mural. Apa itu mural? According to Wikipedia, mural adalah cara menggambar atau melukis di atas media dinding, tembok, atau permukaan luas yang bersifat permanen lainnya. Nah, media yang digunakan adalah cat dalam bentuk liquid atau paste. Saat kita mengerjakan ini, kita pakai cat tembok yang kental (supaya tidak mudah meleleh dan berantakan) yang pastinya juga tidak beracun dan tidak men...

Visa la Vida

As I told you in the last post, I will tell you everything I know about Chinese Visa. If you don’t know yet, I’m an Indonesian and AIESEC in Indonesia has an initiative to make a kind of visa booklet. Visa booklet is for us to fill in all information about our visa making process and all. This would help upcoming exchange participants during their visa making process. I have to say that I was considered kind of late to submit the visa application. Due to my university schedule, it’s difficult for me to spare some time to go to the visa center. So, I forgot when I did it but it took 4 working days to finish. It’s quite easy to make the visa. I did it myself. Alone. Here are some things you need to know. No. It’s not the embassy. To make a Chinese visa, you don’t go to the embassy but a Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC) since a lot of Indonesians go to China nowadays. It lies in The East Tower, Mega Kuningan Street No. 2, South Jakarta 12950, Indonesia. ...

my AIESEC experience

Well, I’ve promised some people that I would tell them about my AIESEC experience. Since literally, it’s pretty hard for me to explain why I did what I did. For example, when my relatives (family members outside my little family of 4) asked why I went to China, I usually said, “Well, it’s like volunteering. I taught English to Chinese students and all.” And as curious as they usually are, they would ask about the financial stuff. Bleh . It’s kind of hard to talk about this so usually I said, “No, I wasn’t paid. I told you it’s like volunteering,” and just shrugged it off.­ Now I’m going to tell you about all possible questions people asked me about this AIESEC thing in the simplest possible way. Q: What is AIESEC? AIESEC is a world youth-led organization. And now, AIESEC is (how to say this?) available (?) in 126 countries and it keeps growing. Check out aiesec.org for more information. Q: What did you do? What I did can be considered as volunteering. I have to tell y...
