On July 4 to August 13, 2011 I was doing a geological mapping for my
undergraduate thesis in Sumba Island. I got to meet new people, new
culture, and I also got new experiences that I'd like to share with the
world.
Sumba Island is divided into four regencies: Southwest Sumba, West
Sumba, Central Sumba, and East Sumba with Waitabula, Waikabubak,
Waibakul, and Waingapu as its headquarters, respectively. The funny
thing is, each district in each regencies has its own language, thank
God we have Bahasa Indonesia! Sumba also has beautiful sceneries almost
all the way, such as Laliang Beach, Wanokaka Beach, Roa Beach, and one
exclusive cottage at Nihiwatu, mostly occupied by foreigners. Everyday
is summer here! Beautiful clouds, you could even see the stars at night
(the most romantic scenery!).
