October 28th 2014.

Second day in USA

Station Amtrak in New Jersey

We went from New Jersey to Boston by AMTRAK (It’s name for speed train) in Indonesia like Businees class in train, my first experience using AMTRAK is always ontime and check it, good facility and comfortable. Not so fast, from New Jersey to Basten we through some station they are New London station, Pensylvania New York station, and others. During trip I seen America in widely, with so many car, houses, trees, lakes, forests, and many others. I found something that america not all of part good and be well take care of society like rubbish, dirty lake, and broken bridge. In America even that expensive and exclusive car they park in public parking without proof and covered by sun and wind. In AMTRAK I analyze that American people if one person that want something or felt disturb by other people his spoke directly. 

This is trip spent 4-5 hours to arrive in Boston Station. We met mr.Sukidi and the other friends. Mr.Sukidi gave us charly card that function like a ticket to using public transportation that exist in Boston, Massachuchets Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). From Silversten Station in Boston to Summervile ave (mr.sukidi apartment) we must use two kind transportation they are train (redline) to Harvard Square station and bus number 86 to Sumerville st. Harvard Square station is first time I seen Harvard jacket and all student from Harvard University. This the firstime I visited Harvard University with all the red building, students, squirrel, and green grass it’s wonderfull. We have many picture Captured in John Harvard Statue “If you touch shoes of the Statue, you will back to Harvard again” Deep in my hearth I hope and pray, Allah give me this way I will be back again as an Harvard Student. In Mr.Sukidi Place we take a rest and Lunch, and for the boys divideed into two teams,one team lived in Harvard Housing and the other one in MIT Housing. I am Harvard Housing. In Afternoon we visited Harvard again to discuss about our presentation and our project, we visited many build and rooms like science, library, canteen, and classroom. 

Allah give me this way I will be back again as an Harvard Student

“American people is freedom people, the people want to free and fixx they culture” mr.sukidi said. Different cultural in american make our nationality and our religion will be decrease but I believe it depend on our self, but almost Indonesian people like that. We must life with our style. I beleve someday we will make Sumbawa as the center of excelent in Biotechnology. But the important one is good attitude. MIT team lived in MIT housing with mr.Putro a candidat doctor from Massachusets Institute and Technology (MIT) always smile, easy to talk, and friendly. Rian, mr.zain and I lived in mr. Ahmad sahal’s Harvard housing. He is a fellow reasearcher in Harvard Kennedy school for 4 years.

October 26th, 2014.

F

rom Soekarno Hatta International Airport (CGK) this story began. Flight to Newark Liberty International airport (NWK) and transit in Hongkong international Airport (HKG) for 4 hours. As Cathay Pacific airways marcopolo we flight from Jakarta to Hongkong at hongkong international airport needed time 4 hours 30 minutes. First time using Airbus with big space, full entertainment, and foods, it’s awesome. The more impressive one is when I Use toilet in plane “actually, I don’t know how to use the toilet, so I just try it, I Press anything button to stop flow of water.” And when I exit from the toilet, it’s so many people waiting to toilet. During the journey I Finished 2 new release films from many films avalaible (asia, West, Japan, Chinesse, India), songs, and also game. Also each passenger get headset and blanket it’s make us comfort and enjoy the flight. Plane has landed on Hongkong International airport, direction for passenger it’s very clear with direction board and employ from Cathay Pacific for all the passenger especially for international passenger.
     

On Flight Jakarta to Hongkong

     Hongkong International Airport is one of the best airport I knew, good service, clean, big space, directions everywhere, many spot to take picture, shoping, and the gap between waiting room and plane parking it’s just using glass, so we can see everything all the flight activity. In generall all of the employs of Hongkong International Airport it’s still young with small body, immigration official just using t-shirt with jacket without uniform. Hongkong International Airport build in one island. 

Chep Lap Kok International Airport, Hongkong.

 

     For the immigration process in airport it’s middle hard, we must freight-out Laptop and all electronics device from our bag, don’t bring water or liquid more than 100 ml, don’t bring shave, that will make you hard to pass immigration process. And we waiting for 4 hours to next trip to Newark International Airport in New Jersey, USA. Hongkong International airport have pray room also sejadah and kiblat directions.

October 27th, 2014.

First day in America

     The time for landing it’s coming. When we landed on NWK we must enter to immigration process, according to me  the immigration process is easy, you must sure about you reason why you come to US, and you must pay attention with all the question, “ I answered 2 question”. Questions like this for the first “what is iGEM?” second,” where is your place you live in Boston?” after that you must put your three fingers in scan. 

Still waiting for you

 

     Baggage claim is the process after immigration process, information bord will provide you the information of your flight number and your baggage place. If you use trolli you must pay $6 for one troli in Indonesia it’s free whatever how many trolli you use. After your baggage claim we will re-check again for secondly show your immigration US (you will get this from flight attendant on your aircraft), it’s still easy you must  be honest if you bring something like food and the other.

     Newark International Liberty Airport we met Mr. Sakidi (person that we live in him house), during in Boston, He is the nice person that provide us living house, information of transportation, pick-up us from Harvard and MIT dorm, provide us breakfast and dinner, the person with kindness and honesty. Mr.Sakidi is Doctor Student in Harvard University, the best university in the world. He Lived in Boston for 8 years. 
 

Amtrak Ticket 

     Newark International Liberty Airport provide us connecting transportation if you want use Train or Amtrak, you just get on airtrain for 3 times stop. Air train it’s like monorail in Jakarta (never finished yet) and airtrain it’s free, it will be come every 5 minutes and always ontime, without masinis. And I was seen so many Truck like Optimus prime (Transformers Movies). My first impression for USA is Amazing, it’s like dreams comes true and actually, I never hope my life is very great, but Allah make it. Subhanallah.
