Indonesian Migrants
BY KENNY CHOU JUNE 15 , 2018
There is a party in Taitung this weekend to celebrate the Indonesian New year. There are many Indonesian migrant workers in Taitung, and this is an opportunity for them to remember their culture and help them feel at home.
The reason why I hold this party every is because I’m trying to make the migrant workers here feel comfortable, and this is also how Muslims celebrate our new year in Indonesia .” Said Xiulian, an Indonesian woman living in Taitung who has been running this event out of her shop for twenty years.
Everybody is welcome to come and celebrate, even if you are not Indonesian.
“You are welcome to join us and have fun with us,” said Andreas, a teacher from Junyi who is helping to organize this celebration.
“Last year, the party was so grand, and all the migrant workers felt so happy,” said Daniel, a student who had joined the party last year. “Through this event people could really know more about Indonesian culture.”
