LIVING IN THE HOUSE OF AN ESTATE DIRECTOR IN BELITUNG


I had the opportunity to stay in a Director's house of PT Steelindo Wahana Perkasa, a huge palm oil estate on Belitung Island. This is because the husband of one of the group members is THE Director. My first impression of the house: HUGE. We were there for 2 days, from the 25th - 26th October and experienced living a luxurious life of an important person of the land.


One thing I remember the place is located in a small town with a unique name Kelapa Kampit (translate: coconut sack) which should be on the north-east side of the island.

a huge hall




There are four bedrooms and another one spare room I supposed. Each bedroom has a bathroom attached to it and to our surprise, one of the bathrooms is installed with a bathtub.

The kitchen is also huge, you can just shift the dining table there.

our first dinner in Belitung, all home-cooked
The nearby neighbours must have wondered what was happening on the two nights we were there. Suddenly the whole place was filled with non-stop chatters and laughter which lasted until late nights. I am sure the people must have missed all the noises we made when we were there.


This is just the tour inside the house. There will be another post of the area outside soon which makes me wish I could have a house like this.
