What is my village like?
I had asked some of the PC Indo 1 guys what most surprised them when they came to Indonesia, and I think Noel responded that she was really surprised how big and dense a village can be.
There were about 2000 people in my PST village. In 10 weeks, I still had not walked every street of it. Every time I turned a corner, it seemed impossible that there could be a whole other development of houses, but then there they were! There were fields and farms, but somehow I would consider it more urban than rural. And it can’t really be considered suburban by American standards. I don’t know.
Here are some pics of my village:
