This picture was taken in Koto Gadang, West Sumatra in a bright, sunny day. The sky shows its beautiful blue color.
Here I am showing you the names of streets in this small village. The names written are not just common names. They are prominent figures who were born in this village. Yes, Koto Gadang is home to many outstanding figures in Indonesia. One of them is Sutan Sjahrir, the first Prime Minister of Indonesia. Then the first Foreign Minister, H. Agus Salim. And of course the women’s rights activist and the first female journalist in Indonesia, Rohana Kudus.
To make it short, we can say that Koto Gadang is not an average, ordinary village.
