There are so many small villages and communities along the road.
When you go through a village, almost 100% people are waving their hands and says 「hello, how are you!!」or「Turist!!」including gramma and grandpa.

道沿いに沢山小さな村や、コミュニティがあって、通る度ほぼ確実に、ハローとか、バウアーユーとか、ツーリスト!!とか声をかけられます。

Seems people in here are extremely welcoming tourists. However, I feel sometimes It's little bit too much because people in almost whole community look at me and trying to say hello to me. Sometime a lot of kids are chasing behind me.

スマトラ島の人達は、かなり、かなーりフレンドリーなような気がします。時々、ちょっと疲れますが(^_^;)だって、村を通るたびに、ほぼ村全体の人達が声を掛けてきますから。。。時には大勢の子供達に追いかけられます。

Anyways, so far so nice in Sumatra; cycling along beach and jungle and very less traffic compared with Jawa and welcoming people.

そんなんですが、自転車でビーチ、ジャングル沿いの道を走るのは最高です。何より交通量がジャワ島と比べてかなり少ないし、人がフレンドリー。
