This story was began five Indonesian citizens (a woman and four men) were assembled by delayed train because storm in Amersfort, Netherlands. They are Banjar, Wicak, Daus, Geri, and Lintang. They are also postgraduate student in Netherlands.
Since in Amersfort, they had been friendship. The name of their friendship is Aagaban. Aagaban is acronym from Aliansi Amersfort GAra-gara BAdai Amersfort di Netherland. In speeling English is Association of Amerstof by storm in Netherland.
They had the background of study in Netherlands are different. Banjar was postgraduate student because he was challenged  to study in abroad by Goz, his closed friend; Wicak had background forestry graduated, so he wanted to continuing study in abroad and his aim was observer of Indonesian forest; The Reason of Daus had been postgraduate student in Netherlands because his dream was presidential spokesman; Lintang got scholarship and her future dream was she had boyfriend from abroad; and last person, Gari, he had different story with all his friends. He was continuing study from bachelor to postgraduate in Netherlands.
After they was meeting in Amersfot, they swapped their e-mail id. Then they hold a party in Gari’s apartment. Two weeks after the party, Wicak, Daus, and Lintang welcomed new student from Indonesia, his name is Tyas. Tyas is arrogant officer, so they left him to guide Tyas in Netherlands.
Then Banjar, Wicak, Daus, and Lintang were invited by Gari to Maastricht for Netherlands celebration. In Maastricht, they wore Netherlands’s traditional clothes. After the event, they were drunk except Daus.

In this novel, the conflict was started when Wicak sent a bouquet flower to Lintang that he sent without his name (anonymous sender). The effect of the event, they were busy with their self. Although, all boy in Aagaban, except Gari were angry to him. Finaly, Wicak was apologize to all friends in Aagaban and they was graduated from their university.
The conflict came again when Lintang came to Gari’s apartment. Lintang saw Gari was romantic hugging by a man, she shocked because she thought Gari is gay. Then, she rang her friends (Wicak, Daus, and Banjar). At least, Gari admitted his self. He is Gay.
Before this story was end, they tripped to some of places in Europe. They had fun with their trip. They went to interesting place. Sometimes, Lintang lost from them. Then, Lintang was found by Wicak. In the end of this story, Lintang married with Wicak. Although, first time I read this book I predicted Gari is her husband but it’s wrong.

After I read this book, I think, this book is interesting book because the book is completed by very many tips, such as when we will survive in Netherlands, how to hold the party in Netherlands; the book is also tell about national celebration of Netherlands.
However, this book had shortage of books. For example, we couldn’t imagine the city was told in this story, we need a map or drawing about that. Overall, this book is interesting book, doesn’t make boring feel.

Sambil nulis novel, saya melihat postingan IG Bitread di hp android ibu. Ternyata, di Bitread sedang mengadakan Writingthon lagi. Writingthon mengingatkan saya peristiwa menulis tentang Dukungan Asian Games di Kalimantan Utara. Sampai suatu saat, saya antusias ingin ikut kembali! Siapa tahu saya bisa berkunjung ke tanah leluhur saya, Garut. Karena saya tidak mau dianggap kacang yang tidak lupa dengan kulitnya. Sebelumnya saya akan mengenalkan apa itu Writingthon.

Biasanya, Bitread melakukan Writingthon ini bekerja sama dengan instansi pemerintah. Tahun lalu, saya mengikuti Writingthon Asian Game...
