Ruteng, Flores. We were thinking were to sleep, entered some office, and we said (in Indonesian) we're looking for free accomodation. One of the employees invited us to his house it was very nice. Then they took us to some birthday party. Flores is an island where Catholics are a majority. People have here a strange custom of burying their relatives near the house. So the guy introduces me his father presenting his tomb...
Yesterday we were invited for a night by an English teacher, and we ended up on a local wedding party. Hmmm they celebrate it differently. Many people (700), all dance together, but not in couples, all following same steps.
By the way worth mentioning -we made it to Flores yesterday morning, we were supposed to take the ferry on the day before yesterday in the morning from Sumatra(Sape), but it was broken, so we had to wait till the evening. A free ride again... awesome country :)
