I’m Den Marie Toldo Calayag, 19 years old, 4th year college currently studying at St. Paul University Surigao, Surigao City, Philippines taking up Bachelor of Elementary Education. I am batch 7 SEA Exchange Student-Teacher from St. Paul University Surigao, Surigao City, Philippines and my host university is Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) Yogyakarta, Indonesia. My practicum school is SD Muhammadiyah Pakem, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I am so grateful and lucky to have this kind of opportunity to experience teaching and exploring in the foreign country. I’ve learned a lot of things during my internship like the different pedagogies, the application of more interactive teaching strategies & methods, their teaching styles, lesson plan format, culture, tradition, religion and most especially I’ve learned how to interact and deal with the Indonesian people using the basic Bahasa Indonesia, English language, hand gestures and smile on my face.

Day 1: January 10, 2019 (Thursday) University Tour 💖😍 This was our first day in Jogja. It was 8 o’clock in the morning when we had campus tour at Universitas Islam Indonesia, Yogyakarta Indonesia with my friends from Surigao City, Philippines and buddies (Ardan, Vanny, and Mutiara). During this day, just the 3 of us (me, Kate and May) among the participants had an opportunity to roamed around the campus since we were the first participants who arrived in Indonesia. I can’t imagine that I am here now in Indonesia stepping and standing in front of UII Campus. Honestly, this was my first time to travel in abroad that’s why I am very thankful for being part of this program because without this I may not here and not able to meet my Indonesian and Thai friends.
