Free Day (Meet Palembang People)

Friday, 12nd of August 2016.
We have no exact schedule for today but we have to packing because tomorrow we'll be going back to Indonesia and our flight is in the early morning. So, from morning we still packing our belongings and in the afternoon, we have lunch at the Muslim restaurant near CRPAO school. There, we ate spicy beef like usual but the difference is that today we met Indonesian people. At first, we didn't recognize each other but then their children were fall in the ground and crying. The mother then said "Makanya jangan nakal, jatuh kan?" (That's why don't be naughty, you'll fall to the ground, don't you?) yeahh at least the transtlation is like that. And then I a bit shocked and keep listening of what they said. When, they want to go home and then my mom asked the mother, and this is the converstaion:

Mom: "Ibu orang mana?" (Where you come from?)
Aunt: "Indonesia"
Mom: "Indonesia mananya?" (Where do you live in Indonesia?)
Aunt: "Palembang" [[the auntie seems suspicious if both of us are also Indonesian from her expression]]
Mom: "Kami juga orang Palembang. Wong kito galo" (We're too from Palembang)

And then we shake hand and doing a lot of conversation. She said that she already become a Thai people. She already moved to Thailand because in here, things are more cheaper rather than in Indonesia. Yes, I admit it. Lots of things in Thailand are more cheaper than Indonesia. The auntie also got husband Thai people but he can Bahasa Indonesia as well because he ever came to work in Palembang for 6 years and met his wife. He is one of the driver of songthaew in Chiangrai. His wife gave her husband's card to us, just if we want to go to wherever place, we can contact him and got special price because we're the same Indonesian people.
Meet with Indonesian people and using our Bahasa is very like home to me. Unfortunately, today is our last day in Chiangrai. Tomorrow we'll be going back to Indonesia.
Hopefully that we can meet long before.
