LATELY TESTIMONY
Dear Nanang How are you? I hope you are well and that you are busy with lots of customers.
Jimmie and I are doing well and we are now back at work, which feels a bit strange. We had a good time in Malaysia although we both feel that we rather return to Indonesia next time. Malaysia was both expensive and full of tourists although the beaches were very nice. However, we were not impressed with the snorkeling although we saw lots of reef sharks.
Our families were happy to see us when we returned and they were very happy about our marriage. They could not understand how we could have arranged a wedding on Kalimantan but as I explained, my friend Nanang had been a star and helped us! Jimmie and I are very grateful that we had the opportunity to have such a special wedding.
Do you remember that we spoke about eco-tourism and the importance of involving the local population? My colleague now wants me to come and speak to her students about this topic and about my trip to Tanjung Puting and I therefore have lots of questions especially about the British people’s involvement and about your new project. Do you have an email address to the young man how was in charge of this new foundation, you called him “The Director”? Once again, a big big thank you to you and all the others that helped us to arrange the wedding and trip. And thank you for the beautiful wedding present!
I hope we continue to keep and contact in the future. I enclosed a couple of pictures from the wedding! Susanne and Jimmie/USA |
