Sade Traditional Village of Lombok; Only on Sade!

I, English Clubbers and our exchange lecturer, Mrs. Patrice have visited Sade Village this year on March. For this session I just want to share what I have seen personally.

Lombok has everything. If you are busy with life pressure, then you need to refresh your mind, go sightseeing, take a deep fresh-breath, and see God's creature here. I am talking about one of traditional village and still holding their traditional daily life. I am sure people around the world who claimed themselves as "travelers" have visited Sade. So, what's in this village makes interesting?

1. Friendly

Most of Indonesian society, including Lombok society is friendly. I think everyone knows that. Why friendly? Because I am the example of society who very interested and love to see tourists who come to Lombok, and curious to learn their languages and share about Lombok itself.

2. Loyal to Their Own Traditions

The local people of Sade Village are unique, they are willing to spend the rest of their lives to follow the rules they have made since the past. They are very obedient and keeping culture and traditions up. Well, all of us have known, we can't live without change and technology because of globalization. But, see? From the houses, marriage traditions, until weaving fabric are still same as the past. Or, NEVER CHANGED!

In marriage traditions, if there is a man who wants to get married, he should marry to the local woman, in other words woman in the same village. If he doesn't want to do that, if he wants to marry with the woman whom from outside of village, he must pay a mulct with one or two buffalo(es).

The Houses!!!

Well, if you want to clean up your house floor, you must use buffalo dung. On the other hand, the room of kitchen and bedroom are on the same place. They are still use woods for lit and some brick as a buffer. That is their stoves. Really? Come to prove it!
