A passion of travelling

Food is always different from one country to another country. Even with the same name, food in Indonesia and food in Thailand, which have the same name, will taste different. This is because food in one society have different ingredient with another society.
Food can be defined as a combine of ingredients that can easily obtained in one area, which cooked and served in local way. From the ingredients, we can know the geography conditions of an area, and from the way they cooked and served we can know how their interaction to another people.
For example, there is a food in one village in Maluku Island. They served a grilled whale. First of all, a group of man will go sailing, they will try to find a whale. While they go sailing, the children and the woman will prepare all the ingredients and woods to grilled the whale. After the group of man come back from the sea and bring the whale, the men will slice the whale as many as the total people of the village. As it become a slice of meat, the woman will wash the meat with sea water and then mixed the clean meat with all the ingredients. While the woman finish the preparation, the children will prepare the fire to grill the meat. As all of those preparation finish the woman will grill the meat, and the man and children waiting and some of them will grill a cassava to complete the grilled meat. As all this processes finish, everyone can take a slice of meat and a piece of cassava and they will eat together.
From this process to make a food, we can learn that Indonesian have a culture that named "gotong royong", which is mean that some people love or prefer to work together to achieve one objective, and those people have their own task. when this "gotong royong" system implemented in a food, it shows that they will implement this system in another activity in their life too. If this people prefer their ego, then some people in their area might be could not eat. This is a culture that shows that people should not focus on their ego, they have too think about another people too. This is important to find an equilibrium of a social life, that someone will live today because of you, and maybe tomorrow you will live because some people exist in your life.
