Intercultural communication. It sounds normal, right? But the relationship between culture and communication is a bit unclear for some. What was first? The egg or the chicken? The culture or the communication?

Episode 2: Culture and Communication - Independent or Interdependent

Halo semua! 
Hari ini, kita akan membahas sesuatu yang dekat banget dengan keseharian kita.

Mungkin bagi orang asing, rutin memeriksa gigi adalah hal yang biasa. Tapi, bagi orang Indonesia, pergi ke dokter gigi adalah sesuatu yang sering dihindari. Bukan karena mahal atau tidak ada waktu, tapi karena... takut! Ya, takut sama suara bor, takut sama rasa sakit. Akhirnya, banyak orang yang lebih memilih minum obat penghilang rasa sakit daripada langsung pergi ke dokter gigi.

Pasti kalian juga pernah dengar orang bilang, "Aduh, mendingan sakit hati daripada ke dokter gigi, deh!" Nah, gimana menurut kalian? Lebih baik sakit gigi atau sakit hati?

Kalau saya sih, sejujurnya, dua-duanya tidak enak! Tapi kalau disuruh memilih, saya mungkin lebih memilih sakit gigi. Setidaknya, kalau sakit gigi, kita bisa pergi ke dokter gigi dan masalah selesai. Tapi kalau sakit hati? Aduh, masalahnya jadi panjang! Susah 'move on', bisa berlarut-larut dan butuh waktu lama untuk sembuh. Hahaha…

Jadi, ayo mulai sekarang, jaga gigi sebelum harus jaga hati yang terluka ya :p 
Sampai bertemu lagi di episode berikutnya, dada!

Here I will read the second page of Niet thuis. Listen carefully because some things are repeated in the story. 

The room is not big, 3 by 4 meters.  But Lisa has her own bathroom, with toilet.  And a balcony.  And that is special for a student in Amsterdam.  Lisa puts her backpack on a chair and takes off her coat.  So first make tea.  She walks to the large kitchen at the end of the hall.  The kitchen is for all students together.  And that's not so great.  The kitchen is always dirty and messy.  Very dirty and very messy.  Lisa takes the kettle and puts water in the device.  Then she wants to go back to her room.  But the young man and woman are standing at the kitchen door.  "Excuse me," says the woman.  Dan is not home.  Maybe he went grocery shopping.  Can we wait here for a while?'  "Of course," says Lisa.  Would you like a cup of tea?'  The woman nods.  "gladly," she says
