It’s always a personally rewarding experience being down here. Today was funny though,, being the only “bule” in the group. (I think “bule” means “westerner” the same way that gringo = American). The family we were helping was so happy to have us,, they insisted on feeding me lunch and bringing me into what’s left of their humble home. Such happy & warm-hearted people… they say I have a home here anytime I come to Bantul. (= I told them to look me up when they’re in the states.
