About hosting

“I would like to know more about the real life behind the nice beaches Indonesia’s islands have. Get to know the history of the country, the people, the language spoken, the cuisines and the religions. So many questions were there, when I left rainy Belgium on August 1997. Questions which slowly found and answered during my stay until May 1998. Those answers have helped me to build up my mind about so many things.

Indonesia also fulfilled all my expectations that I had concerning about Islam. As it is the biggest Muslim nation in the world, it was impossible to hide from it. I completed the Ramadhan and attend other Islamic festivities. Honestly I must say that those experiences had made it easier for me to understand the religion, especially after 9/11 when all Muslim were considered as fanatics and terrorist”. (Bram Tuytens, student from Belgium 1997-1998)

This is just some of the views and experiences of the students who live with the host family here in Indonesia. Well, you can have your own experience if you are interested to host students from abroad.
