On August 9, 2016, I left for Pare, escorted by a family from Surabaya. The journey takes about 2.5 hours by private vehicle. Armed with a GPS we arrived at Kampung Inggris. The first place we headed was the Eureka Tour office on jl.Brawijaya. There the officer directs the registration flow to the LMA House board and Elfast Front Office (my course).
ELFAST Course Institution (Front View)
I went to the boarding house first. In addition to a short break also to book a wardrobe or bedding according to our choice. At that time I chose to sleep next to the wall. It just so happened that I had just arrived in that room. After putting some things, my family and I headed for Elfast. It turns out quite a distance between kos and elfast. At the front office met Mr.Ken. I was given original receipts and asked to come tomorrow at 07.00 to attend the Technical Meeting (TM) at the 2nd floor Elfast building.
Given the distance kos and elfast a pretty far away, then I took the initiative to rent a bike. In the elfast cafeteria there is a bicycle rental. It costs 60,000 / month. Because of the number of students who rented many bikes, I ran out of options, only 2 bikes were available. Yes gpp lah, rather than walking. His father told me that in two weeks he could exchange bicycles because many students would return the bikes.

After getting the bike, family goodbye to return to Surabaya. I was escorted back to boarding house. My kosku friends came. There are 2. It turns out to be neighbors, from Sidoarjo. Still young people just graduated high school. So feel old, hehe. The next room is also three, and happy there are also health graduates (Nutrition). That night we ate together outside.

Actually I paid for a room together, friends in the next room too. But we ended up being roomed in three. Said the owner of the boarding house, although one room three but spacious room. So they did not communicate with us first. We want to refuse also how, tomorrow has started to enter the classroom. Enjoy it. Fortunately friends in the boarding is very friendly and tolerable to unwind after the old class. So comfortable. Kos opened at 06.00-21.00 hours, more than that the gate will be locked. If you come home late you can ask friends to open the gate.
The next day our TM was given direction and motivation, information about the Efast 1 class schedule, and was introduced to the teachers at elfast. I got new friends when TM, from bali and manado. After TM, there is no activity. The learning activity starts on the 11th. Efast 1 class schedule is 5x meetings / day.
05.30-07.00 Miss F (Grammar)
07.00-08.30 Miss Y (Grammar)
10.00-11.30 Miss F (Grammar)
11.30-13.00 Miss A (Speaking)
16:00 to 17:30 Miss Y (Grammar)
With a schedule like that, then the practical breakfast hours changed to jam08.30, because the distance kos and courses are pretty far away, so I do not go back to boarding house. If you go home even tired for PP. Apparently not only me, some friends also like that. Usually we eat breakfast together in the front stall Elfast. after that me and my friends have gathered in the mosque, usually jam09.00, can chat, there is a ngaji and pray dhuha as well. Then at 09.00 we head for the next class, usually sitting on the classroom terrace while waiting for class turn-over time. Jam13.00 I just got back to boarding house.
Teachernya nice to explain, until we understand. And what I like, the colorful markers on the blackboard. So know which point is important. At the end of the lesson (the end of the month) there are written exams for grammar classes and speaking exams. If the new pass can be certified.
There are 3 stages of written test. The first test, multiple choice of 100 questions. maximum of 20 new can pass. After the 1st graduation exam, go to the 2nd stage exam, which is writing. If you want to pass at all guns can be no harm. The second test is a lot of ngulang. Gpp let the more clever, hehe .. Exam last stage is the test Capital. The graduation criteria are the same as before, ie there can be no number. There were about 15 questions.
One class of contents is about 25 children if guns wrong remember, hehe .. but for the long time decreasing with natural selection. Often due to illness or fatigue due to a busy schedule. There is also a need to return to the place of origin because there are necessities such as admissions tests or lectures. Including me who did not join the last class because they have to work during the weekend.
We created the Whatsapp group which alhamdulillah is still active today. Often every weekend friends gathering at a place to eat for dinner together. But I can never join because I have to work.

See all these pictures so miss pare and friends. Miss you guys. How are you?
After graduating college, many plans wanted to go there, want to ngelamar at TV stations because it happens to graduate S.Ikom with major Broadcast. But it's not easy, as a result try to luck to BANK BCA.
Until finally my delayed plan to go to Kampung Inggris was my choice. Initially planned to Kampung UK for the period October 25, 2015 but since want to try to find work so undo.
Until finally memustuskan to Kampung UK November 25 after completion of the test at Bank BCA and while waiting for the news gembiran (Amin) from Bank BCA.
November 23, 2015, finally went to Kampung UK located in Kediri precisely in Pare, East Java. After searching for information about Kampung Inggris choose Eureka Tour to be my travel services to take care of my tutoring place and pick up after arriving in Kediri.
By Train, and with great guts (because of this first
he went alone to a place where there was no brother there). On my train sat with a man who just happened to come home from China and happened to be the original Kediri, during the trip he told about the English Village, Gumul who became Icon Kediri, etc., made me impatient to get there.
Oh yes, many means of transportation to the English Village, can be by train, plane, or bus. I chose to ride the train Gajahyana, from Gambir station until Kediri Station spent 12 hours, that time my train schedule at 18.00 pm until there at 6.00 pm. Because of the night trip so I could not see the scenery around and I just chatted and watched tv.
November 24, 2015 I arrived in Kediri, there I was picked up by Eureka Tour travel officer, I chose to be picked up by car because the price is not much different from the motor, one car contains four people who turns out they are all participants who want to study in English Village.
The Kediri station trip to Kampung UK takes 1hour journey. During the trip I chose to sleep just wake up when the driver shouted that this is the icon Kediri. Wow it turns out Gumul like the wall that is in paris persisi that I see in film.
Gumul, Kedon city icon.
The journey from Gumul to Kampung UK is only about 30 minutes. Upon arriving at the English Village I was dropped off at the Eureka Office to take care of my tutoring place. Up here first yes, later in the story continued.
