The last bit of 2013: Experiencing home, experiencing family

The last day of the year 2013, I and several Indonesian students came to the house of Dr. Benny Tjahjono, a lecturer at Cranfield University from Indonesia. He invited us to have a lunch in his house.

It was precious to experince the hospitality of family while we were indeed away from our families. It was precious to taste home country's delicacies: the spices, the texture, the flavor. The enjoyment there was enhanced with laughters, chats, songs to sing.

We also walked around the lake near to his house and took some pictures. To experince the last beam of the sunrays of this year, it was amazing.

The last day of 2013; I felt that I was at home, with my family.

Today, I learn that a home is a thing that can be created anywhere. And a feeling of having family can be raised up with anyone. It is spirit of giving, acceptance and sincerity that make all the experiences and accompanying feelings getting real.
Thank you, Pak Benny & family.
