They treated us like the royalty that we are! I am humbled to get such a warm welcome!:)
I am wearing a ulos (pronounced Oo loos) It means blessing for God or God bless You! A hand-woven ulos is given to couples when they marry! It comes from North Sumatra, Indonesia. I taught mathematics hear today and the students told me that I look like Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey! What do you think?
Per Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ulos is the traditional cloth of the Batak people of North Sumatra. Different kinds of ulos have different ceremonial significance. The ulos is normally worn draped over the shoulder or shoulders, or in weddings to ceremonially bind the bride and groom together. Ulos are traditionally hand woven and in the case of higher-quality examples are significant family heirlooms, to be worn at important events, such as funerals and weddings.
