Abstract

In 2004, while visiting West Sumatra, we stopped along the promenade in Padang, the capital city of the province. My then 10-year-old son, Rumi, exclaimed in disbelief: “The Indian Ocean!” That was the first time he and I stood before the vastness of the Indian Ocean, the geography and history that we had erstwhile encountered through textbooks and the media. Standing before the open sea, the geography is just awesome.
