People usually called me Raga for short and sometimes I am called as Ahong too, I look like chinnese so that’s why people called me Ahong.My full name is Raga Fajar Hadi, I graduated from High School) since 2015.I failed to get some scholarships in Turkey, America and Indonesia.That’s why I haven’t taken any college [sensitive content]w I’m still looking for a chance to get a full scholarship no matter the country.I also have another plan to get job but I want to work as a flight attendant.I wish I can find my destiny that will be given by God someday.When I was in the second grade of High School, I always come to Bogor Botanical Garden (Kebun Raya Bogor) in order to practice my English skill, I went to there once a week.I met many tourists from different bagrounds such as a citizenship, religion, language, custom and culture.I made a short and sometimes long conversation with them, depending on the tourists actually J I was happy when I met a friendy tourists so that I could share many things and we might be closer one another, but I was sorrowful and lil bit dissapointed when I met a cocky tourists, they only answered “No No, Go!, Don’t ask!, Why you ask?, Who are you?, Sorry!” Hey, I only wanted to increase my English speaking, not to distrub them-_- But it gave me a knowledge that I couldn’t get at School, I could learn the differences between Indonesian and Westren people.Ok! That’s the differences, right? And I can’t say there are bad people because they are unfriendly, It’s natural, every country has their custom and culture and we must appreciate everyone.I guided the tourists around Kebun Raya Bogor.One thing that you should know, I am not an official tour guide, I was told by my teacher if we wanted to be a tour guide, we have to follow the tour guide training is about six months and it spent is about Rp.4.000.000,00,- That is very expansive for me as a ‘student’.You can say I am a freelance tour guide and I don’t have any lisence or certificate about being an official tour guide.

        At Kebun Raya Bogor, I also offered the tourism to the tourists such as Mount Salak, Hot springs, Museums, Waterfalls, Ricefield, Baduy Traditional Village and some tourisms near from my home and still in the Bogor area.A tourist from Czech Republic wanted to come to those places and I was very very happy because that was my first experience.We went to the tourisms in Bogor and He also came to my school, suddenly I was being popular at school and it was my unforgetable moment, my teachers was proud of me especially my English teacher.“No one able to bring the tourist except you^^” That was my English teacher said:’) I can’t explain you in detail how was my feeling at that time.The tourist and me were enjoying our time in visiting Mount Salak, hot spring and waterfall.We didn’t have much time because the tourist was only had 2 days in Bogor.

        For you as a tourist, even though I am not an official tour guide, I will be professional and being your best tour guide.If you have a plan to come to Bogor, don’t be hesitate to contact me, I can come along with you in exploring Bogor.I am friendly, young and honest person.I don’t live in Bogor City, I live in the village, if you want to know the real Indonesia, you may visit my home and make it as your homestay.But if you are prefer live in the city, you can stay at hotel and we can make a schdule to visit some tourims in Bogor.If you are interested to stay at my home, you must fill some requairments Haha, no, I am serious.I do appology because I can’t allow a couple tourists without any marriage relationship, I only allow a male tourist to stay at my home.I am muslim and here in Indonesia, a couple who haven’t got married are banned to stay at home together, you can googling! That’s the basic rule of Indonesians, yeah you know, different culture..

        If you want to make my home as your homestay, don’t be worry! You can make it, I only live with my mom and she will stay at my sister’s house if there is a tourist who want to stay at my home.We also must tell the village chief here and be sure that you are a kind person, I mean, you’re only on the vacation here not for making a bomb or making a drugs bussines.Lol! You won’t be allowed by the village chief if you bring a girl who are not your wife, I told you before, the mayority of Indonesians are muslim and if there is a couple stay together without any mariage relationship, you will be despised by the people even you will be caught by the law, and if that’s happened, I will be caught by the law too, That’s why I tell you at the beggining.I don’t wanna take the risk.I know most of the westerns and Americans like alcohol/whiskey or anyting I don’t know.If you want to bring it, just keep it in your bag, I can’t insist you not to bring the alcohol cuz I know that’s your custom and I think it is not a dangerious [sensitive content]don’t be worry! Bring it if you want to bring J

        I tell you, I don’t have a car, but my neighbor rents the car so we can use it and you have to pay it so that we can explore the tourims by car.I have a motorcycle so we also can ride it and you will be seen and amazed by anyone along the way cuz you are ‘bule’ (means western/American/foreigner), Yeah..I tell you also that you don’t have to be curious and asked to yourself if you will be asked by people to make a conversation or take picture with you, you know you’ll be famous even though you’re not an actor or singer because people will see your face, you’re a stranger and Indonesians think that stangers from Europe or America are very handsome because they have a perfect face.Why? Because we used to see the hollywood movies, we like the actors and you like the actors cuz you have a white skin, sharp nose, brown hair and tall body.If you don’t believe me, just proof it by yourself J
