We went to the east for about an hour to find Andrea Hirata and Ahok's childhood place. On the way we stopped by at a kaolin mining place. It had become a pond. It is named as Kaolin Pond. We then continued to Gantong Subdistrict. The first point was the replica of Muhammadiyah Gantong Elementary School, a school discribed by Andrea Hirata in his novel Laskar Pelangi.

It costed Rp9.000.
At 16:30 I arrived at the office. Beni, Priyo, and Supardji were still in the office. I joined them discussing the project.
