A Visit to SMK Bunda Mulia - Tourism Students Share about Their Cultures

This was a delightful visit to a private high school, where there are students in the tourism and retail pathway.  The students are articulate in their English language skills.  They prepared a wonderful presentation of local snacks and foods.  We also had the opportunity to visit their student run store.

So my guiding questions for this trip were the following:  1.  What is your dream?  2.  What and who do you need to achieve those dreams?  3.  What and who will keep you from achieving these dreams?  So I began interviewing some of the students these questions.  Many of them are very ambitious, and believe that they can achieve them with their family and self-confidence.

Being of Chinese descent myself, I find it fascinating to meet other Chinese people around the world.  I met a number of Chinese students at this school, and it was neat to learn about their lives and family histories in Indonesia.

This school was very musical.  The students prepared a lovely opening ceremony with song.  Then we were able to tour some of the music rooms, where we tinkered with drums and wind instruments.  It was so much fun!
