The landlord, Ibu, is a 60 something year old grandma who likes to gossip.
she has a strong will, she believes old age is not much of a hindrance. She still walks around the neighborhood and cleans up her house on her own everyday.
she went to ITB but never graduated, she said her only daughter managed to graduate in her place. Now she lives in Boston with her husband and child, leaving the ibu alone in bandung.
The ibu runs a nice moslem boarding house with lots of plants and big windows, her house is located in front of the boarding house, She keeps a total of 7 in-house residence.
The maid cooked food for the entire household everyday at lunchtime,
they sit and talk and joke to one another at the dinner table almost everyday.
It's temporary but I feel utmost at home. feeling almost as if I am in the middle of the family I never had.
