- Our Host Family
We spent a few days on the small island of Temoyang. It felt too short. We really enjoyed spending time with our host families, asking questions as we gazed up at the milky way, and feeling the cool breeze that comes from living above the water. This time each Am. was paired up with an Indo. intern. I was so thankful for Endah’s willing and capable translation. I learned a few more melayu words, and thought about the culture on Temoyang.
The pace of life seems slower and more flexible than on Batam. People could probably use more money, as most of what they make comes from fish and “gonggong” snails sold to Singapore. Fishing is not as sustainable/profitable as it used to be. But people like living here. Everyone knows each other.
