i visited more than 10 ceweks kampong, enjoy every trip..  |
Bro ndnd,
Just curious, where are your cewek kampongs in indo which you have visited ?
I was invited to indramayu, bogor and banten in west java, ajibarang and puwokerto in central java and manado in north sulawesi but only visited once only - my ex-maid girlfriend kampong near Bogor which is slightly south of jakarta.
Indeed Indonesian kampong people are known to be kind, hospitable, treat guests with warmth and generosity. Perhaps it is in their culture that they treat every individual with respect.
I wasn't asked by my ex-gf for any money when I visited her parents, however I still did give them some money as a token of appreciation for their hospitality.
However I didn't stay there as their house wasn't really big enough therefore have to stay in the hotel in bogor city.
Indeed kampong lifestyle is very relaxing, very different from the hectic city life.
You are rite, as long as her orang tua is not from big cities, your wallet won't be sucked dry....
