熟悉的異鄉最對味_Padang

What I have learned in Indonesia for 14 days！ 在印尼十四天的心得！

參加這個活動才知道事前的培訓有多麼重要，不僅要了解當地文化，還要學些當地語言，不僅如此，英文也很重要，因為當地很少人會英文，我必須跟當地NGO的工作人員用英文學習印尼語，而且事前培訓的簡報也需要用英文和印尼語，這更讓我們語言學習更加快速。三個月的印尼文化培訓讓我跟當地減少出錯和磨擦的機率，而且在事前的準備也讓我絞盡腦汁，這些讓這一趟實習有了更多的發現。在事前討論的行程，真的對此次的旅行很有幫助。此外，因為我住在石壁部落，跟當地的生活類似，讓我去那很容易上手。事前作有機麵包也配合他們的農業有機政策，跟中華的印尼朋友交流歷史、文化、新聞、語言、天災、音樂、生活方式和我將要合作的夥伴…等，讓我更了解他們，減少和他們的思想和行為的落差。

我發現他們很有世界觀，想辦法天災預防和重整，對這方面有相當的知識。這邊人民很熱情，看到我都會用微笑主動打招呼，而且還會互留Facebook，我感到很受寵若驚，也不會因為我是基督徒而用奇怪的眼光看我。我在台上經驗分享時，他們都用很專注的眼神看著我，感覺此次的任務非同小可，事後還有人跟我討論所教的內容，我想是我需要跟他們學習。在這培訓中要檢討的是，事前三個月培訓有點短，路途中有三人有事退出，培訓一個人很難。希望下一次能多一點密集訓練，這樣團隊的凝聚力更強，減少退出的人數。

這次實習，每當他們問我喜歡印尼的什麼事物，我都說最喜歡他們的”自然”，因為這邊的食物用報紙和葉子包起來，路上很多樹和山，還有馬車減少廢汽，傢具幾乎全都是木頭做的，在電視上也時常看到他們的傳統舞蹈或文化傳播，雞牛羊都是野生的，在路旁就可以看到，讓我超興奮的狂拍，晚上他們會跟鄰居聚在一起聊天，我非常喜歡這種生活環境，希望他們可以在NGO的幫忙下，減少砍伐森林以及更維持大自然的和諧。

最後我要謝謝我家人和朋友行前的支持，學校大力的贊助，事前社團的培訓和我們學校的印尼朋友陪我們到出國前的最後一刻，以及當地熱情的人們，更謝謝旅途上幫助過我的人，謝謝你們讓我的生命更豐富、更精采，真的感激不盡!!

I didn’t know how the prior training classes are important until joined this activity. Not only have to understand their culture, but also have to learn their dialect. Moreover, English is important because the a few local people can speak in English, so I have to use English to get some Indonesian vocabularies, nevertheless, we needed to use English and Indonesian languages to present our presentation as training classes. These reasons cause me learn languages faster than ever. Training classes for 3 months make me reduce to make troubles and make mistakes, besides, prior preparation racks my brain, those accounts make me to discover more on the trip. It’s really help that discusses about the schedule arrangement beforehand. Moreover, the Raisinay Tribe, where I lived before abroad, is like the living of Padang. It makes me get started more easily there. For tie in their organic farming policy, I make organic breads beforehand. Share history, custom, news, languages, local disasters, music songs, living ways, Padang cooperators…etc. with CHU students, those make me know more about them, decrease the gap in their thinking and doing.

I find that they have “world outlook”. They try to prevent and cure disasters, they are knowledgeable on this topic. The local people are passionate when they see me, They greet me actively with smile and then, both of us will leave facebook information. I am overwhelmed by their unexpected favor. They won’t astonish at me because of I am a Christian. When I share experience on the stage, they are all pay attention on me. It make me feel the mission is super important. After sharing, they discuss the content what I taught with me. I think I should learn from them, not they should learn from me. During the prior training classes, there have some things to reflect. In my opinion, the training time is very short, besides, a few people drop out on the way. Cultivate a person is not simple, hope the courses can be intensive so that this team can be more solidly, reduce the drop-out.

This intern, when they ask me what am I fond of in Indonesia. I always say “Nature” because the food here is packed up by newspaper and leave. There are considerable trees and mountains. Besides, they have horse-drawn carriages to reduce CO2. Their furniture is almost made of wood. On TV, their traditional dance and custom are often disseminated. Their chicken, baffle, goat are wild, we can see them on the street, and I take many photos of it. At night, they get together with neighbors and chat. I fancy this kind of living. Hope they will reduce to cut trees and maintain the natural balance after NGO helps.

At last, I want to thank all my families, my friends, CHU supports, the prior training classes organization, and CHU international exchange students, you accompany me until I go abroad, besides, thank the local passionate people, and local helpers, thank you all enrich my life and become more colorful, very gratefully!!

9, Okt. Visit Guguk field(1) !!拜訪Guguk農田行(一)！！

我們今天是拜訪Guguk農田，剛開始他們上有機農業的課，教大家如何做成分比例。講解完後，他們就實際外面操作，Paido先生用石頭把樹葉砸成碎片，你可以清楚地看到，下面這照片都是有機殺蟲劑。左邊的是製作完畢的殺蟲劑，右邊是新鮮還未製作完的材料。它們都有不同的用途。左邊是用來控制害蟲（跳蚤以及吸根蟲），把一些植物在研缽裡搗碎直到變成精華，然後再加羊尿混合，變成左邊的樣子。那些成分有紅椿葉（五盎司）、大蒜（兩盎司）、莨薑（三盎司）、青牛膽葉（四盎司）、檳榔（一個）、檸檬香茅（四盎司）、羊尿（一公升）。右邊是用來控制蛆和吃葉蟲，它的成分有黃荊葉（五盎司）、羅李亮果葉（五盎司）、檳榔葉（五盎司）、丁香葉（五盎司）、檸檬香茅（四盎司）、桃花心木葉（五盎司）、肉桂葉（五盎司）、羊尿（四公升）。

We visit Guguk field today. First of all, they attended organic lesson, it taught how to make the percentage of pesticide. After explaining, they went outside to experiment. Mr. Paido chopped the plants to be used as organic pesticide. You can see it obviously, the following are organic pesticides, the left one is organic pesticide that is ready to use. The right one is the fresh material for making pesticide. They have different functions. The left is used to control pests (flea and suckers). Many plants were chopped into small pieces and then smashed in the mortar until it produced the essence. Then, it was mixed with the urine of goat, and squeezed as shown by the left one. Ingredients of left one are surian (toonia sureni merr) leaves (5 ons), garlic (2 ons), galangal (3 ons), brotowali/tinospora tuberculata beume leaves (4 ons), pinang ( 1 piece), lemongrass (4 ons), goat’s urine ( 1 litre). The right is used to control maggot and pests that eat leaf. Ingredients of right one are lagundi/vitex negundo leaves (5 ons), sousop leaves (5 ons), betel leaves (5 ons), clove leaves (5 ons), lemongrass (4 ons), mahogany leaves (5 ons), cinnamon leaves (5 ons), goat’s urine (4 litre).

當他們搗一搗，突然我們也有那股衝勁，所以我們就接手，沒想到真的很好玩，因為我是個都市人，都沒有種過田，沒想到第一次會在國外種田，真是一個奇妙的感覺。之後我們去學習肥料是如何形成的，我們看到好大個咖啡色的草堆，一問之下才知道那是稻草和牛糞組合而成的。

When they pestled, suddenly, we wanted to join, then, we took turns. It turned out to be fun, because I am an urban dweller, never did it before. I could not believe my first time planting would happen abroad, it is a marvelous feeling. Afterward, we went to learn how a fertilizer forms. We saw a plenty of brown moisturized haystack, after asking, we knew it is made from rice straw and cow manure.

後來，我們搭小貨車去看穆尼爾先生的堆肥場，我們看到他種的絲瓜和茄子，他還送我們茄子，讓我們啟發之後要買食材做台灣菜給辦公室員工吃，我們還看到曬乾的牛糞，一點也不臭喔！

Next, we took small truck to visit Mr. Munir St. Rajolelo’s compost place. We saw his loofahs and eggplants, he gave us some eggplants. It caused us to buy some food ingredients to do Taiwan cooking for staffs next time. We also saw the buffalo chips, not smell at all.

後來他很熱情的介紹我們可可樹，我覺得可可長的很奇怪，或許是我沒有看過可可樹的原因吧！那時還沒成熟了，但他摘下兩顆給我們，我們第一次嚐到還未成熟且未處理過的食物。後來我們才發現吃可可已經破了齋戒，來不及了！我很喜歡可可的味道。我們在程的路上看到樹上紅毛單，就偷摘了幾顆。回去後，他們已經快搗完了。看看附近他們的農田，覺得原來成果豐收的心情是難以言喻的，要經過好多的步驟，才有今日盤中的食物，讓我更加珍惜飯裡的每樣菜。回家的路上，因為遇到禱告時間就停了一下，讓我覺得他們每天五次的禱告也是訓練人生耐心和毅力。

Then, he passionately introduced us cacao trees. I thought the appearance is weird, maybe because I had not seen it before. The cacao did not ripe, but he took two for us. this is my first time to eat unripe and unhandled food. Afterward, we found that broke the fasting today, it was too late! I like the flavor of cacao. On the way back, we saw rambutan trees and stole a few of it. When we backed, the farmers almost pestled over. Seeing the farms around, I realized that the harvest in the mood was hard to describe. It had to pass through many processes that became our foods. It made me treasure any plate. On the way home, we encountered their pray time, so stopped for a while, I think the pray five times per day make their patient and steady.

晚上我們去KKPM(Konsorsium Pengembangan Masyarakat Madani=公民發展促進聯盟)聚會，它是NGO組織，我們在那邊認識很多朋友，而且看到Aal老婆Azura和Arung，好開心，很久沒看到。在吃飯前，他們給我們喝糖煮香蕉和冰黃瓜汁，前者是香蕉、椰奶、椰糖做成的，後者是黃瓜加冬瓜糖漿，真好喝!難忘的滋味，推薦！推薦！晚餐當然還是以辣為主，我還滿喜歡吃辣的，但因為在台灣時聽說吃辣對身體不好，所以就避免吃。沒想到在印尼每天都吃辣，讓我每天都很開心，但是小Apple就…減肥很成功了，呵呵。


This night, we went to KKPM (Konsorsium Pengembangan Masyarakat Madani=civil society development association) reunion, it is a NGO. We met many friends there, by the way, we saw Aal’s wife Elfa and children Azura and Arung. I was so happy because we had not seen for a long time. Before dinner, they gave us kolak pisang and es timun. The former is made of banana, coconut milk, and palm sugar. The latter is made of cucumbers and melon syrup. Really delicious and unforgettable, recommended! Recommend! The dinner flavor was spicy as usual, I really like spicy but I hear that eating spicy makes stomach hurt, I avoid it. I never thought it would happen in Indonesia every day. It made me happy everyday, but small Apple…lost her weight successfully, haha.

(8th, Okt.) Second Mandarin Class第二堂中文課!!

Okt,6 and 7, weekend trip !! 週末行~

今天我們去巴東火車站搭車，我們遇到Dicky害羞男孩和其他帥哥警員，跟他們聊一下天，我們就跟馬來西亞的朋友去ANDALAS PLAZA了。我們去那邊看到一家粉紅色的店家，我跟Apple就被吸引進去了，那時兩個男生原本在外面，後來又進來，他們說原本都不敢逛這家店，幸好我們進來，David還買了耳環。後來我們去逛中國城，我們去一家很好吃的華人餐廳吃飯，可惜那些華人不會講中文。在那邊逛我真的超感動的，第一次出門可以只講中文，又去中國城，跟廟裡面的住持和打掃人員聊天，台語又中文夾雜著，讓我覺得好像回到台灣，帶著很滿足的心出來。附近有一個“福德堂”，我們又進去逛了一下，館主正在重建中，那時館主說了一個讓我印象很深刻的事，他說雖然他是穆斯林，但是佛教是他中國祖先文化的一部分，應該被保存，我覺得他說的很對，歷史應該要被記錄。

Today, we go to Padang Train Station. We meet Dicky who is a shy boy and chat with other handsome policemen for a while. Then, we go to ANDALAS PLAZA. A pink store is attracted to Apple and I. The two boy wait outside for a while, then, they come in. They say they don't dare to come inside originally until we come in. David buys a earring. Afterward, we go to local chinatown and have delicious lunch in a Mandarin restaurant. It's a pity that the Mandarin waitress can't speak Mandarin. I am so touched there, this is first time that I can only speak in Mandarin on trip and talk Hokenese with temple abbot and housekeeper. Using the languages make me recall my hometown. I leave the temple with satisfied, then, I see "Fu De Hall" nearby, we go inside. It is rebuilt by host. The host says something make me impressed. He said although he is a Muslim, but Buddhism is a part Chinese culture of his ancestry. I think he is right, history should be recorded.

走到天橋跟Amii相會之後，我們在附近逛逛，今天晴天，所以風景很漂亮，我們照了很多張相片。之後我們搭了Angkot回家，路上有停靠，所以我們下去看了一下雜貨店，發現有把家用冰箱當販賣機，真是好玩！晚上Amii很累，在我們的房間睡，真是個特別的一天，期待明日的新行程。

Going to bridge to assemble with Amii, we hang around. Because its a sunny day, the view is beautiful. We take many photos. After, we come back home by Angkot. The Angkot pull in for a few minutes, so we take a look at grocery. We find there is a home fridge as vending machine, it is interesting!! This night, Amii is tired and sleep in our room. Today is a special day. I anticipate tomorrow.

隔天到Andalas大學等待Rendi、Ari、 David 和Alex。Rendi來這邊還特地教Apple和我騎機車，Apple超開心的，之後馬來西亞的朋友也來會合。我們一起去玩Andalas的遊戲設施，設施目地是訓練登山。剛開始我看Amii先爬，覺得還好，之後馬來西亞的朋友也爬完，我跟Apple上去才知道很可怕阿！沒有拍到Apple大叫和對我比中指的畫面，呵呵，真是可惜。我非常冷靜的慢慢走過全程，多謝了David的鼓勵，不然往後跌，我真的會大叫。玩完後我們都滿身大汗，我真的是用全身吃奶的力氣走完。Apple走到快玩時，右手抽筋還往後跌，真是太驚險了。最後Rendi用很快的速度，前前後後的走完全程。接下來我們去巴東市區的海灘拍照，那時Apple為了到下面拍照，屁股跌了一個瘀青，一星期才恢復，屁股也做不住，這傷真是不輕阿！之後我們去ANDALAS PLAZA吃晚餐，小Apple還一直跟Rendi玩互相模仿遊戲，吃完去裡面逛逛，直到Ati就來接我們。我們這兩天玩得很開心，所以我們約了下禮拜再一起出去囉！

Tomorrow to Andalas University(=UNAND) to wait Rendi, Ari, David, and Alex. Rendi arrives and teaches us how to ride moto. Apple is happy to ride it. Wait a few minutes, Malaysia friends assmble. We go to play facilities in UNAND. The facilities purpose is for training "Climbing mountain". At the first, I see Amii, it seems not hard to play. Then, Malaysians play. After them, we go upstairs and find it is "HORRIBLE". It's too bad that I don't take her screams and raises her middle finger to me, haha. I just calm and pass through the whole slowly. Thanks for David, or I will scream loudly. When we finish, we sweat all of our body. I really extremely struggle to keep my balance. Apple has a cramp in right hand and falls behind in the end. What a shock! Rendi falls forward and behind in high-speed. Next, we go to Padang beach. Apple trips over a rock for taking photo below the rock. She bruises her bottom and she can't sit directly for a week. It really hurts!! Afetr that, we go to have dinner in front of Andalas Plaza and small Apple was playing mimic game with Rendi. Then, go shopping inside until Ati pick us up. We are happy these two days, so we still date Andalas students next week lol.
