In the first week of October I had the opportunity to travel to Karimunjawa
Island in Central Java and to Jombang in East Java. Capt KGRE was also
travelling at the same time but to different locations. Actually I was
only scheduled to go to Jombang while Capt. KGRE planned to visit schools
in Karimunjawa. But then just one day before the trip there was unexpected
developments with our travel plans. We wanted to cover more activities
during those trips. This made us re-route our travel at the last minute.
So as you could imagine these travels were started rather chaotically.
I had to make many phone calls to our contact people in various locations
informing the changes and re-scheduling activities and times, changing
tickets, getting new tickets, finding accommodation, etc. Luckily everything
was okay by 4pm on 7 October 2004.
At about 1pm the next day I was ready at the airport waiting for my Merpati
flight to Surabaya and then continued to Semarang. The flight was scheduled
at 2.30pm but was delayed for half an hour and I used the time to work
on my preparation notes. Although this was not my first travel for KGRE,
I felt nervous about my activity in Karimunjawa. KGRE was invited by Pak
Hisyam in Karimunjawa to participate in the proposed workshop for tourists
guides for the local people of Karimunjawa Island. We were happy to offer
them with a small English lesson although this is not the area that KGRE
develops. Certainly this was something new for KGRE to offer such help
and for me especially. I've never done any teaching practice except when
I was in my final university years where I had to do some teaching practice.
So I armed myself with enough material to use. I also asked Capt KGRE
to help me with some ideas.
