Our third and final day in Mempawah, Wednesday, August 20, began in very early, before the sun had risen everyone gathered outside for the morning ceremony (Saprahan) with Ibu Erlina, Regent of Mempawah. All the males sat on one side, and the females on the other. In between was vegetables, various meats, ketupat and Patlau. The feeling of community that I felt being surrounded by everyone sharing food was incredible. I am so grateful I got the opportunity to come and experience Mempawah during Robo Robo. It will be an experience I will never forget.(Sela Ramona: Exchange Student form USA)
