A unique group of Chinese Indonesian: Why are they still able to converse fluently in Hokkien after most areas have been "Indonesianized"?

Before visiting Medan, Indonesia, like many non-Indonesians who have never visited Medan, I thought that the local Chinese were highly Indonesianized, just like other parts of Indonesia such as Jakarta, Surabaya and Bandung. Therefore, when I visited Medan for the first time in 2009, I was deeply surprised by the fact that most of the local Chinese, including children, speak fluent Hokkien, as Hokkien is also my father's native dialect.

Chinese Menu

Whichever country we are in this world, we cannot deny that food is part of our life. Especially when living in a foreign country, food can be an issue although I sometimes love food adventure. It is still fresh in my mind how I spent my first month in Taiwan eating food from convenience stores, such as 7-11 and Family Mart. Thank God they saved me :D The problem is, I was lack of Mandarin skill and we have a different food culture.

7 main languages of the new residents of Taiwan

Once I started learning languages seriously, I never stop, and I think I won't stop. The adrenaline I have when speaking the language with someone for the first time excites me the most. Seeing surprising facial gestures from people rewards me the most. I find it funny when people don't expect me to speak their languages. When that happens, I already know what comes next. They usually ask me a lot of questions about the reasons for learning their languages.
