The ferry back to hijabland

We got to Banyuwangi, a city at the Easternmost tip of Java. Late night. This is the accommodation. The usual method to find accommodation was this: when we got tired of riding, we started to ask random people on the street (preferably in some less populated area) for the local ketua RT. Then after a while the ketua RT showed up. If not we passed on. The ketua RT is a person in charge for a small neighborhood. Representative of authority. We explained we are tired students, running out of money and looking for a place to stay overnight and a bathroom. Our kitas (residence permit) was checked many times carefully. We had bath in police station, slept in mushola (praying room), school etc. We paid for bed only in the case of heavy rain.
