Batipuh is My Hometown

Batipuh is my hometown. It is one of small district in Tanah Datar, West Sumatra. It locates in hill and near from Singkarak Lake. Batipuh is rounded by tropical rain forest. It is about 1,5 hours travel from Solok. Batipuh has cool temperature because of it's position.

My family have one house in Batipuh. It built beside my grandma's house in 2000. We can see football field in front of my home. Behind my home, there is my grandma's garden. Actually, we can't say it was a garden because it is almost not different from small forest.

People in my hometown are very kind. They almost talk each other if they are met, even just 1-minute-talk only. They help each other to make Batipuh better. In Thursday, people in Batipuh have tradition to join "Pasa Kamih". It is one-day-market. we can find many Minang foods or just looking around.

Actually, I don't born in Batipuh, but in Minang tradition, our hometown is based on grandma's or mother's hometown. So, I can't talk too much about Batipuh because I go there, when I celebrate Idul Fitri day. But it was happy to get holiday in Batipuh.

Good.
