I flew to Sumatra thru Jakarta. By this time I was beginning to feel more at home. It is good that the trips we run are 6 weeks long. It takes a few weeks just to get used to your surroundings.
I was met at the airport by Rachma Jauanriata (sp). The consulate contact was sick. Rachma is an Indonesian national who works for the Consulate in Sumatra (city of Medan). She was the perfect host. Rachma had gone to high school in Indonesia and was trained as an architect. She not only got me to all of my events, she created a few new ones – setting up additional meetings with local political parties.
