*Indonesian + Arabic
Hi, all! It’s Ayu. This day we woke up very early in the morning, 5.30!! We had to go to SimpangLima, to meet the real street children. We departed from the house around 6.20 and we could reach the Simpang Lima before seven. Some of us were very surprised of the sightseeing. There were so many people in the down town, and also so many motorcycles there. It was kind of “occasional & traditional market” in the city yard with so many things be sold and bought. We found out that so many parents told their children to beg in Simpang Lima. The parents just waited somewhere, and collected the money. Some of the children still go to school, but some of them don’t. Also we found teenagers. They are also street children. We found out that they were pushed by their parents to go begging. But they said that younger children could make people easier to feel pitty, so some of them don’t want to go begging. They let their younger brother to beg, instead of doing by themselves.
The breakfast was bubur ayam (Indonesian Porridge). After that we went to internet cafe for about 1 hour. We also went shopping in the supermarket. So many things we bought, like beef, mushroom, tuna, spinach. We headed home after the shopping. I washed the dishes, even though I was the cleaning team, because the day before I didn’t wash....
It was great lunch. We ate bulgogi, Korean food made of beef, and little bit of carrots, onions, ??? I like it. We have the Indonesian food similiar with that one, called “semur sapi”. And we had melon for this lunch. OK, it was impressive lunch, we could say.
The nutritional assessment went very well. I was excited. I just realized that I love children, more than I thought before. Maybe I will consider being a pediatrician. Some of the children asked me whether I would inject them or not. Maybe because of the handgloves that we have worn or everytime I opened their sleeves to measure their upper arm circle ( arm circumstance ). Approximately 20 children came. I would make the resume of the data. I hadn’t made of it. After the nutritional assessment we prepared to go for the free time. We planned to go to the hot spring, and then we have dinner in a fine Indonesian restaurant.
We couldn’t control all the things that would happen in the future. Apparently, after we were in the green car (public transportation) for more than 1 hour, and walked in an ascended pathway which was sorrounded by very beautiful scenery and thick fogs—it was very cool up there—we found the hot water pool was empty! So sad... Then we only went to the near the small waterfall, washed our feet, and took picture. After all, the scenery was very beautiful. Small rain that fell through our head couldn’t stop us to be amazed by the beauty of the nature.
The cool and fresh weather could ease our tiredness. I felt we enjoyed the long journey, although we couldn’t mandi in the hotspring. Just small mandi, put water through our feet, arm and face.
We decided to have the dinner instead of trying to find another “pemandian air panas” (hot spring). Of course after having some minutes of discussion and considering one place to have the dinner. The name of the restaurant is “Djaikem”. We had nasi goreng and mie goreng, but mine was so—spicy, so hot! I enjoyed it, but so sorry if the place that I recommended was not very great or satisfying or impressing. So sorry.... >_<
