Dear George, I wrote those two paragraphs in Minangkabau so you'll have a taste of Caro Awak (Minangkabau Language) a little bit. It's not too hard to figure it out. Oh yes, address to "Mbak Ephi" is mistaken, he is Angku Ephi (address to Minangkabau male). I did the same thing earlier before I knew the backgropund of some members of Rantaunet. Jembatan Siti Nurbaya just a new bridge across the Arrau Muara. I never crossed that Jembatan yet. When you get to the site of Siti Nurbaya, the Air Manis area, you'll see also the legend of the Rock si Malin Kundang. We'll keep in touch George. Have a great time. In case you want to email me during the trip please do not hesitate to do so. Bon Voyage, -- MakNgah [MakNgah is my name as usually used in this Lapau (Rantaunet).
