Lapor Diri di Jerman (Stadt Anmeldung)

Haloo.. Kali ini pengen sharing. Krn baru ini pindah kost2an di Jerman. Emang siih lapor diri sebenarnya pertama kali waktu beberapa hari setelah sampai di Jerman. Jadi buat gue ini stadt anmeldung yang kedua kalinya. 😅

Oke langsung saja. Kenapa sih harus lapor diri? 

Kalau untuk pertama kali tiba di Jerman, lapor diri adalah untuk:

1. Membuka akun bank.
2. Membuat asuransi.
3. Membuat residence permit.
4. Dan kepentingan birokrasi lainnya.

Nanti kalau mau pindah ke kota lainnya atau mau pindah tempat tinggal, juga mesti lapor lagi. Tapi gampang kok sebenarnya. Gak ribet, sehari selesai untuk urusan ini.

Kangeen Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩

Beruntunglah kita terlahir jadi anak Indonesia dan bisa menikmati indahnya ibu pertiwi. Tinggal di zamrud khatulistiwa yang bagi sebagian orang adalah mimpi bisa tinggal di Indonesia.

Tak disengaja terngiang di pikiran. Karena itu jadi kepengen curhat di malam ini. 🇮🇩

Ternyata benar katanya “semakin jauh meninggalkan Indonesia, semakin kangen dan sayang sama Indonesia.” 😉

Kangen sama makanannya yang murah2 dan enak. Kangen Surabaya bangeet lah. Dan kalau laper tinggal melipir ada gerobak jualan. Apalagi kalau di Indonesia tukang jualan yang datengin rumah dengan konsep door-to-door (Baca: Jualan keliling). Disini? Boro2… Naah mungkin konsep ini bisa diterapkan disini… *Brb bikin startup gerobak bakso 😂 😂

Kalau keindahan pemandangan Indonesia sih gausah ditanya lagi. Keindahan alam Indonesia dikagumi dunia, bikin envy orang lain. Mulai dari Raja Ampat, Bali, hutan di Kalimantan, gunung Bromo, Gunung Rinjani, dll. Ibaratnya negara kita all in one lah. Hayoo mau bilang apa, pasti bilang gak ada musim salju.. Iya gak ada, cuman ada musim rambutan, musim duren, musim mangga, dll. Di Jerman mana ada musim buah2an! 🙈

Satu hal yang dikangenin juga adalah orang2 di Indonesia ituuu orang-orangnya. Emang siih orang2 di Jerman juga ramah2 tapi mereka cuek. Iya saling menyapa kalau ketemu.. Contoh, udah nih saling sapa halo, servus, guten tag, dll. lalu kemudian diam seribu bahasa.. Setelah itu baru ngomong lagi pas pamitan. Udah deh bye… Bayangkan kalau lo lagi bosen nunggu, Kalau di Indonesia tukang jualan, tukang parkir, satpam sampe ojek aja bisa diajak ngobrol. Apakah ini artinya gue sedang kesepian?? (((curcol)))

Sadarlah bahwa benar itu rumput tetangga terlihat lebih hijau.. Emang siih disini banyak kelebihannya. Lebih ini, lebih ituu. Tapii?!? Selalu ada tapi.
Indahnya pemandangan di Indonesia sekarang jd bikin nyesel. Ih dari dulu kemana ajaaa... Harusnya lebih sering keliling Indonesia. Orang lain mah dijadiin bucket list utk bisa pergi ke Indonesia. Kita yang lama tinggal disana lhaa malah yaa gitu deeh. Sekarang giliran jauh malah pengen balik. Haaa banyak maunya emang. 😭😭

SHOCK!! Sistem Ujian Kuliah di Jerman

Lagi masa-masa ujian semester nih disini.. Atau dikenal juga sebagai Klausurphase sebutan kerennya. Apa bedanya dengan ujian waktu kuliah di Indonesia? Beuuuh... Gue aja kaget. 😭😭

Okedeh mari kita bahas apa aja keunikan dari ujian kuliah di Jerman.

1. Jadwal ujian dibuat oleh mahasiswa

Jadwal ujian dibuat dengan cara melihat ruangan yang kosong dengan jadwal kerja sang dosen. Naah jadi bisa dibilang ini sangat memudahkan mahasiswa. Secara kita bisa bikin yang paling susah pertama dan jeda tiap ujian disesuaikan dengan tingkat kesulitan mata kuliah yang diujiankan. 👏

2. Sistem Penilaian

Naaaah ini niiih yang menurut gue sangat sadiiisss... 💪 Kalau kuliah di Indonesia kan mulai dari absensi sudah dapat nilai. Belum lagi tambahan nilai dari PR, presentasi dan kuis. Disiniii beuuuuh ujian sekali "final showdown" di akhir. Gapake Mid-term dan Final term. Jadi satu diakhir ini yang bikin materi menumpuk. Materi mulai dari awal masuk kuliah sampe kelas terakhir diakhir semester. Dan itu nilai 100% dari ujian. Karena kuliah di Jerman gapake absensi (Masuk syukur, gamasuk yaa rugi sendiri), PR juga terserah mau dikerjakan atau nggak dan gak ada yang namanya kuis. Inilah yang bikin jadi ujian tersadis yang pernah ada.. 😐😐

3. Scoring Nilai

Sistem penilaiannya unik gak kayak di Indonesia yang nilainya pake alfabet. Disini angka 1-5. Dulu kita sekolah dapet nilai 1 ibaratnya udah nangis darah kalo disini sebaliknya. Skalanya kalau 1 luar biasa sangat bagus dan kalau 5, 6 dan 7 itu gak lulus.

4.  Pengawasnya Dosen Sendiri

Iyaa pengawasnya dosen sendiriii.. Karena mereka bertanggung jawab kalau ada salah dalam lembar soal dan pertanyaan-pertanyaan dari mahasiswa. 😗😗😗

5. Suasana Ujian

Duduk di kursi manapun bebas. Tidak ada penomoran kursi yang sudah ditentukan. Kalau tidak mau terganggu oleh suara2 apapun termasuk suara gaib, bisa beli earplug yang juga tersedia di kampus. Walaupun diberikan waktu yang mepet banget, tapi sangat bebas kalau sambil ujian sembari nyemil sama ngopi2.. Gue biasanya sedia kopi sama coklat bounty diatas meja biar makin konsentrasi sama soal ujian.🍫🍹

6. Kalau Gak Lulus?

Naah disini enaknya, kalo di Indonesia kalo gak lulus matkul harus ngulang matkulnya lagi. (Beserta masuk kuliahnya lagi) Kalo disini gaperlu kuliah lagi, cukup ujian aja di semester berikutnya. Tapii,,, Gaboleh ngulang lebih dari 2 kali yaa... Kalo gak lulus 3 kali wasalam deeh. Akan di 'Drop Out' dan andaikata daftar kuliah lagi harus dikampus lain dengan jurusan lain. Sadiiss kaaan. Wkwkwkwkw 😰😰

Jadii siapa bilang kuliah di Jerman lebih gampang. Plus minus sih yaa..

Watching The Finest Hours..

Watched this movie on Sunday.. It was a great movie time with my Mom. Before, I thought I would watch this movie streaming online. But then we were at the Mall, and decided to watch The Finest Hours. With Rotten Tomatoes rating 60% and IMDb rating 7.2 this movie would be worth watching. 

Is this movies are worth watching? I would say yes. I would rate it 7 out of 10. A little disappointment, I didn't watch it on IMAX. It would be fantastic...

The movie is about The Coast Guard makes a daring rescue attempt of a T2 Tanker "Pendleton" off the New England with a small rescue boat after the oil tanker is split in half during a blizzard in 1952.

People Who Drink More Coffee, Live Longer!!!!

Rickshaw Run.. My Bucket List Adventure.

This is what I want for once in a lifetime adventure. It would be the best adventure ever (maybe). And if you don't believe it, read this post. That will answer all your questions.

This Link: Coolest Uknown Race

Below is the video from the Rickshaw Run which organized by The Adventurists.

The Rickshaw Run is an event where teams drive Auto Rickshaws along various routes across India. For bonus, each team has to raise a minimum of £1,000 for charities working in India and Nepal. This is The Adventurists official Rickshaw Run website. And what will you see under the website notes is this: 

Warning

You may have guessed, but these are genuinely dangerous things to do.

The website is written in a light-hearted fashion but you cannot overestimate the risks involved in taking part in these adventures.

Your chances of being seriously injured or dying as a result of taking part are high. Individuals who have taken part in the past have been permanently disfigured, seriously disabled or lost their life.

These are not holidays. These are adventures and so by their very nature extremely risky.

You really are putting both your health and life at risk.

That's the whole point.

So maybe after you finish this race, you will have more balls than ever before.... This is my dream adventure. Sooner or later, I swear I'm gonna do it!

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure."
