Unforgettable Experience in Bengkulu

I have on unforgettable experience when I lived in 1998 until

2008.Exacly when I comeback to Padang in holiday. I lived in small village. It
is very far from Bengkulu it is about 155 km from Bengkulu . I lived in Lebong
district. In this village the safety condition is not good . It was often stolen in
the around of my life. The law is not become handle to get the justice. The
polices are afraid to society.

To more clearly about my complain experience in Bengkulu, I want to try

to state it now. I got shock in my self , when I want to Padang , I lived in small
house and simply. By going to Padang I have to thing about my thing. All of
the tool house hold have to be moved to the near of neighbour . If we did not
move then to the neighbour , So all of our house hold tool will lose. The
stolen will steal our house hold tool. They were not shy to us, Although we
are condition was very seize there. The people is often steal. So, we are
always careful to care out object.

In the nigh we do not sleep soundly, because we have to care our

house. We were sleep with husband alternatively. Early my husband slept
until 11 o clock. Aftforgeter that I sleep again morning. It happened
continously.

That all my complain experience in my self for I lived in Bengkulu. I

can not forget the experience.
