Rombok Ece

When the students were on holiday, we took a short outing on one hot Saturday afternoon and played around by the stream there with the teachers and their families. Located right behind the SMP dorm the stream is a a shady jungle grove with gorgeous mossy green stones.






The story according to the students, as told to me by Pandu was this. There was once a boy named Ece. One day the teacher got so angry with him in class that he got punished. Bitter, perhaps, he ran off to the forest, and found this place. And that at least, is the rumor of how this place came to be known by students as Rombok Ece. The kids just refer this place to me as Rombok.
