have you been in West Sumatra Indonesia?
People of west sumatra are minangnist ethnic in major.
they are very unique. not like other tribe in indonesia that is patrilineal, they are matrilineal, that's why their relationship to woman in family is very close.
they have beautiful landscape & culture too that they sell for tourism.
tell me if you've been there..
What do you think of the place & the people of west sumatra.

hi siZidni, yes, I've been there in year 2000 with my friends all ladies. It's beautiful places. We went to all around west sumatera starting from bukit tinggi and ended in Padang city. we stayed at my friend hometown Koto Gadang. after that we went to twins lake called Danau Atas and Danau Bawah and try somes lokal fruits "Markisa" and "Terung Belanda". that's the first time I saw the Markisa and Terung Belanda trees. I also tried the local fish (sorry I forgot the name).
