the old lady

on my last day in sumatra i walked up the hill behind my guesthouse and i reached a really nice village where the kids ran down to give me flowers and to say hello and ask for photo photo! it was so sweet! i walked a bit further and i came upon an old lady that walked to me and started talking in indonesian. she asked if i can understand it, i said "just a little bit, not much" and she went on talking and talking and talking.... 20 something minutes of a conversation in bahasa indonesian :D i loved that old lady!! every now and then she said 'jakarta' which made me come up with a few stories of her moving to sumatra from the capital... i guess i made up stories of everything she said :) it was lovely!
