There was a party held to farewell the pendampings. A "pendamping" is a buddy or guide that we were matched with at the beginning of the program. My pendamping was Teguh, we caught up a number of times, and had much in common. Teguh is just about to graduate from a Masters of Education. He is nearly finished submitting his thesis. I am also completing my Masters in Education and will be starting to write a thesis this year. A number of awards were handed out during the party, Damian gave his pendamping the "best hair award". As his pendamping had long hair.
After the party we went for dinner, at what became Damian and mine favorite restaurant, Rumah Makanan Aceh. I had developed a taste for their food and the teh tarik panas (hot milk tea). Teguh was able to ask if he could take photos of how the teh (tea) is made. The teh is poured from one glass to another until it has bubbled.
