This time I will share the story about traveling with friends to our alput village, the beloved district of North aceh. Because of our student status, we have taken us away from our hometown and back home very rarely. It's okay, the most important thing after returning as a student can contribute to build the region. Our return this time, is not coming home anymore. But there is an intention to attend the Thanksgiving event or better known as the event Eating with friends, Maybe there are still who do not know or still curious actually what event? Here I will explain and hopefully can be directly understood. In Mempawah Malay (probably similar to other Malay languages), 'tambol' means 'cake'. But remember, the cake is a traditional cake, not a snack cake that many on the market.
Before telling the story of how fun the event was there, I want to tell first how our struggle to go there. Since we were in Pontianak City and the event was held in the morning, we had to leave early in order to arrive on time. That was our first challenge, having to get up early and be ready before dawn prayers. After trying to get up at 04.00, it turns out our tap water suddenly does not flow. It could be a problem if not to bathe. After trying to find the source of water, we finally found a source of running water. It flows like urine (not to be imagined).
"Osah bath 'jak la kamek, brush teeth jak" (do not take a shower, brush my teeth only). I say to my friends.
