Before heading of to the airport I went for a stroll through the fishing village close to my accomodation. I was welcomed with a lot of smiles and curious questions especially about the fact that I was "sendiri" - on my own.

That's a big part of the culture and mentality here whatever one might think of that.Lue lisää
