Quick update

I've been at Lake Toba for 5 days now, and will be moving on tomorrow. Since this is the only place that foreigners come to in the area, groups of students and their teachers come here every Sunday from surrounding villages to practice their English. This is exactly what happened last Sunday, and after talking to one such group for a while I was invited to their village "so that they can introduce me to everyone because they have never met a foreigner before." So of course I accepted. Tomorrow I'll bus three hours to the village of Doloksangul. Should be interesting..
