My Dear lovely Siti

Hello,

How are you,Sweetie? I know you are angry with me bacause I am writing to you after a long time.I am so sorry, please forgive me

You know We are in Lombok right now.It is so beautiful beyond imaginataion. I am writing to you from this really cute little cafe on the Senggigi Beach. As you know, mom loves shopping, so she goes and will go for hours. I took a rain check from shopping and decided to write to you while enjoying my cup of coffee.

You know, yesterday we want to Gili Nanggu Island. It is a beach on the Southwest of Lombok. The place is awsome. It is so beautiful that I couldn't believe my eyes. There are beautiful coral reefs everywhere. We went for snorkeling and we saw the most amazing fish ever. I wish you were here. It would have been much more fun.

Mum makes sure we don't miss any sight in the whole city, so we've practically been anywhere. I have to go, mom is here. I will see you soon.

Lots of love

XOXO

Lana

P.S. I'm bringing you lots of souvenirs and pictures!

Dear Pak Bima

As always my pleasure to recieve your mail, Pak Bima! Please don’t hesitate.

Right now I am in a hurry ( going out to have dinner at a friend’s house ), but just before I go. I’d like to forward you a weblink; it turns out there are 5 shops in the city of Enschede, where the campus of University of Twente is locateted. Those are specialized in selling Indonesian/Asian food stuff. No, not a market, but a shop wehere we can buy Indonesian spices and ingredients (like soy sauce, hot chilli, coconut milk, cooking soil, etc). Most of these shops, that we call Toko, or indische toko, usually also sell few ready made foods.

Let me tell you. Perhaps one of the toko mentioned on the webpage is near where your daughter is staying. Othrewise, she needs to check them out .She has a bicycle , doesn’t she/ Even I visit an Indoesian toko every-now-and-then( it is not near my house, I need to ride my bicycle to get there) and I often buy tea (teh Jawa) there. soy suace or other spices (daun salam,daun jeruk purut).

So check this out , and maybe forward this information to your daughter: Toko Enschede-tokogids.ni. Good luck.

Bye for now,

Caroline
