Nikmah and Chi Chi

In about 6 hours I take a boat from Padang, Sumatra to the Mentawai Islands, where I will be for one or two weeks, probably just one. I will be totally off line, at least as far as the wired and wireless world goes, but hopefully plugged in to and on some other line. I have found two amazing guides who are like angels from heaven guiding me on my trip. They are Chi Chi and Nikmah, students who are graduating from the English Language Study Program at State University of Padang (UNP). I was shopping at Gramedia, a store that sells books and multimedia stuff, and a woman who worked there, Nanda, hooked me up. These young women want to go into the Travel Guide or similar type of business, and they are using me as their test case! I already can tell that I would highly recommend them.
