Zio, how did I get to Germany

My name is Zio, I come from Indonesia. My father is a soldier and the colleagues of my father offered him to come to Germany and my father said o.k.

But in order to do so, my parents had to do a test. At the time, my parents had to study every day and on the 17 October 2018 my parents passed the test. After that I had to learn German every day from 9am to 3pm. I was afraid of going to Germany then, because my German was very bad. Indonesia and Germany are not that different, the difference is that it is very hot in Indonesia. In Indonesia, it is 28 degrees every day, but in Germany there are 4 seasons and there is snow also. But in Germany there is no beach. In Indonesia there are many beaches. The difference between Indonesian and German schools is that German schools have too many public holidays. I love Indonesia and Germany!
