Ternate City is a bustling, busy city of contrasts: old and new, traditional and contemporary, colorful and dreary, clean and dirty. We saw only a small portion of it, but were very fortunate to be invited to many unique events, such as traditional Indonesian wedding ceremonies ranging from those of middle class to the upper echelon, (mayors and sultans) (See our clip covering the Wedding of the son of the Sultan of Ternate.) We toured the Sultan's Palace, visited the traditional market, the modern mall, saw fabrication of Ternate batik craft and food stuffs, saw churches and mosques, and were invited to see and have lunch at a very nice Homestay up in the heights overlooking the city and the sea.
We would like to thank Mr.Samin Hamudu for making it possible for us to film so many weddings, and their traditions, and also for being tour guide for many of the things we saw here. Thanks also to his colleague and Co-Director of the English Training Center, Mr. Rusdi Karim for organizing other tours with student guides. Also thanks to Sultan Hi. Mudafar Syah, the Mayor of Tidore, Ahmad Mahifa, the L-PIA English School, the Ternate Catholic Church, Dewi Lestari Homestay, and to all the Wedding Couples and their families for making us feel so welcome. We wish them many years of happiness together. Filmed in December 2012.
