Hello Hive Friends, how are you? As I said in my previous post: I'm going to tell you about my life in Solo for 3 months, what did I do?
Well, the first week was the hardest for me because I was still adapting. Solo is a small, developed city. It is a standard ring one city that has been led by Mr Joko Widodo and his son Gibran Rakabuming Raka. I happen to be in the same sub-district as them, viz: Banjarsari sub-district, not far from Manahan stadium.
In Solo, I joined a leader training at Focus Independent School (FIS) around Manahan. For three months, I learned a lot about the curriculum. The first month was spent observing, as I had no experience in formal education. This made it a challenge that was very draining on my energy and mind.
FIS is an international school with a high quality of education. The children who attend this school are the children of economically well-off parents. One of them is the son of Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka and the daughter of singers Dodi Harsa and Nella Kharisma, named Gendis. They are currently in kindergarten.
Solo is a hot city with dry temperatures, where I live not far from Manahan and the school. So finding food and health insurance is very high quality. Access to food is also very easy and the most important thing is to pay not only using cash but also using E-money, through Q-RIS.
Not only that, access to exercise is also very easy. Every afternoon after school I always take the time to exercise, or on weekend mornings I will run around Manahan Stadium. The awareness of exercising in the community is very high, jogging is an activity that is done by all circles. From children to the elderly, some communities of mothers do Zumba, or aerobic exercises together to attract the attention of visitors who are exercising.
Even the elderly who have retired also created an elderly gymnastics community that is carried out in Manahan on weekends. This shows that the need to exercise is already owned by every individual. Not a few families visit and bring their families for a healthy walk in Manahan. The crowd of people doing jogging will be quiet at 9pm. Likewise, the Manahan gate will close at the same time.
For transport access on the island of Java is very easy. There are railway lines and MRT. Even for the destination Solo - Jogyakarta can be taken one hour by KRL line. While Solo - Semarang can be reached for 2 hours using the train. While in Solo, I did not forget to travel to several tourist destinations. Well ... about this I will tell you in the upcoming post.
Thank you for reading and supporting this content, see you in my other story.
