Di Magdeburg saya pernah diliput TV Jerman , seharian para kru dan Reporter membuntuti saya dari rumah , tempat kursus , ke Cafe , kemudian masuk rumah lagi dan Garden . Bahkan mereka mewawancarai guru-guru kursus saya juga . Apakah saya gemetar dan nervous ? ternyata tidak . Alhamdulillah.
Di TV itu mereka meliput kehidupan saya sehari-hari dan saya mengenalkan kopi luwak sebagai kopi asli dan produk Indonesia. Tayangan yang hanya beberapa menit itu sempat membuat seisi kelas saya gempar karena tukang shotingnya ada 3 ditambah mbak reporternya yang asik jalan kesana -kesini membikin sedikit kegaduhan. Oh ya waktu itu saya masih kerja Di Braunschweigh tiap senin dan Jumat, selebihnya saya ngantor dari rumah karena saya harus mengikuti kursus Jerman.
Shooting dimulai di ruang kerja saya yang sempit , kemudian ke tempat kursus , ke cafe , ke dapur dan terakhir minum kopi di kebun . Adegan yang diambil dibanyak tempat tersebut membikin saya tertawa-tawa karena benar-benar serasa menjadi artis , begini toh rasanya di shooting , adegan saya mengaduk kopi , bagaimana cara duduk , bagaimana cara saya meletakkan tangan dan menggunakan laptop di meja ternyata banyak aturannya . Bagaimana saya mengetik dan menjawab email customer , menjawab telephone dll. Pengambilan gambar sempat re- take beberapa kali karena saya salah langkah urut-urutannya. Hehehheheee. Ndeso!

Tetapi yang membikin saya sebel si mbak reporter yang menanyai saya kok ya nakal gitu , saya tidak di beri catatan atau bocoran apa yang akan di tanyakan , jadi semua mengalir saja tanpa skenario. Untungnya saya berhasil menguasai percakapan dan bisa menjawab pertanyaan dengan lugas dan lancar.
Sayang tayangan Videonya dalam bentuk CD sudah hilang . Ada juga Surat kabar online namanya local yang mewawancarai saya dalam bahasa Inggris dan majalah Jerman lainnya . ini nih linknya silahkan dilhat, sedangkan transcript wawancara saya copy di bawah : http://m.thelocal.de/20130531/50039
Nah saya pun sudah merasakan masuk TV rasanya lucu saja, , bagaimana denganmu kawan?

'Magdeburg locals are always willing to help'
The Local | 31 May 2013, 12:15
Get The Local flavour of Germany with our series offering an insider's take on their hometown. This week, Gitanyali Dayinta Ratitia talks about her adopted town, Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt.
How did you end up where you currently live in Germany?
I was born in Indonesia and later settled in Singapore, where I lived and worked for 21 years. It was in Bali, however, that I met my German husband. We got married a year later and I moved with him to Magdeburg, where I found a job in an electronics distributor company, as a business development manager for Asia.
What do you like to do for fun in the city?
I love visiting Hasselbachplatz to just stroll around and visit the cafes. There are lots of different kinds of restaurants, any European cuisine you could want can be found there. It's my favourite part of town to relax in during a long day of work and in the summer time, all the restaurants and cafes are open until late which means you can sit outside without freezing.
Is it a friendly city for foreigners?
I think it is and in the six months I have lived here, nothing bad has happened to me personally, as a foreigner. Residents here are very tolerant and willing to help a new person out – they do not think twice if I ask for directions. This makes me think Magdeburg is a friendly city for foreigners, because locals will try to help until you find what you were looking for.
Do you need to speak German there?
It's absolutely important to pick up the language, because most people here don't speak English. Particularly when it comes to dealing with the authorities, most of them can speak English but prefer to communicate in German. Even speaking just a little of the language, like me, helps
What would you say is the one thing a visitor shouldn't miss in your hometown?
There are so many place in Magdeburg that visitors should see, but the Cathedral is one of the main must-see sights. It's the oldest Gothic cathedral in the country and one of the tallest in eastern Germany, and home to the grave of Emperor Otto I the Great. The Green Citadel, designed by Hundertwasser, is also a good place to go, whether for a cup of tea or just to relax. The Kulturhistorisches Museum is nice to escape tourists, as it's often empty and full of beautiful old sculptures. For an authentic experience I would recommend swinging by the old town hall, where there is a market selling everything a person could need, for great value for money.
What is your favourite spot/activity there?
Rotehorn, the city park, is unique and beautiful. There's a lovely lake where you can rent a boat for a few euros and row around the lake amongst the birds. I personally really like to jog around here before picking up a coffee. Other than that, the city centre has all the shops you could need, especially for a bargain hunter like me.
Can you tell us something about your German hometown that only a local would know?
Waterway junction is great – it's where ships pass through the canal and is a real technical attraction! Last time I went was the summer time and I was so impressed at watching the ships pass through. It's part of a network of canals that connect Hannover, Magdeburg and Berlin and has been considered something of an engineering masterpiece since it's inauguration in 2003.
How much longer do you plan on living in Germany?
My husband is German and he's a native of Magdeburg, which means we will be here for a while. However, we're both hoping to retire within ten years or so and go back out to Asia. Maybe we'll settle in Indonesia, Bali or even in Semarang, my hometown.
