Il Primo....

This will be my first posting in this blog. I just want to give some introduction about myself, objectives about this blog, and something that will be related to this blog. But, in any case, sometimes I couldn’t think as systematically as it is written below.

OK. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jauhary Arifin. I am Indonesian, 24 years old. I was a student of a master program in economics and finance in Venice, Italy. Now, I am doing my internship in a research centre for economics, finance, and econometrics in Venice. Some of my interests are, making new friends, having conversations, traveling, and knowing new things.

Why do I want to write in this blog?
In this blog, I want to try to express and organize my way of delivering ideas, opinions and feelings. I realize that I can have a conversation for hours talking about many things, but I couldn’t organize it in writing. Another reason is, by writing in this blog, I hope I can reduce my feeling of loneliness in this lonelyplanet. Although I live in one of the most beautiful city in the world, I am alone deep in my heart…

What will I write in this blog?
On my early writings, I will write such a report of my journeys, observations, or my experience without a lot of opinions, because I got used to this kind of report. Maybe, on some of my early writings, I won’t write many details on my writings, but I will always try to write more details and give some of my opinions.

About language, there is no specific reason why I write this in English (although my English is not good). Sometimes I will also write in Bahasa Indonesia (because it is my native language) or in Italian (because I live in Italy and I am learning Italian now).

Finally, what’s the meaning of writings without any reader?
So, I thank you for your time reading my writings and also I will be very happy if you can give me some feedback about my writing.

Thank you.
