TaroTaro lives in a island really close to Bali. It's name is Lembogan and is 30 kilometers away from Bali. It is really beautiful place but the life of the people there is not as much good at it looks like. Taro is my family friend and my family and I went at Lembogan 3 years ago and we met him. He become really close friend to my dad because every mornig they were going for fish and at the night we were eating together in the local restaurant. When we were in Bali this year we bought Taro's 3 kids some presents and they were extremely happy because they have never had things like these. One evening Taro invited us to go into his house for dinner. We went and actually the meal we ate was very delicious but for my mom, dad and I we had 3 meals and for Taro's family was only one. There were many more difference fow example that they were eating at the floor but we were at the table. No matter that they didn't have so much money they find a table and cooked very delicious meals just for us. It was a special moment. After we left I felt really sad for these people because they are living in poverty. However Taro is still our family friend and I will never forget the food things that he had done for us.
