Explore coastal Indonesia with Etienne Calmelet, who journeyed to West Sumatra with AIESEC, the world’s largest student-run organization, which focuses on providing a platform for youth leadership development. Etienne’s video diary documents the four months he spent in the city of Padang, where he worked at a radio station and lived with a local family. Each day, Etienne was visited by dozens of locals who had never met a foreigner before.
During the end of 2011, I was in Padang, Indonesia for an Internship in a NGO called AIESEC. I use to live in a local family in a popular neighbourghood called Taruko 1. Most of the shot in this episode was taken in Padang, at the local market, with my family, with neighbors. "Hidup Singkat" (fast life) is a diary of my time there.
