By Jack Stevens ‘22, Syiah Kuala University Fellow

In the mid-afternoon or early evening I usually take a walk around my little neighborhood. Sidewalks are nonexistent here, and so I follow the side of the road, keeping to the right so I can see motorbikes coming toward me. I turn right out of the house, then straight, then left until I am back—a short loop. I walk it multiple times.
