Indonesia's archipelago consists of many islands. Five main islands are Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. Beside those islands, there are lots of small islands - included Anambas Islands.
Anambas Islands are lied on the South of South China Sea between Malayan Peninsula (West) and Kalimantan (Borneo) island (East).
In the past, these islands are the territory of Natuna Residence (Indonesia), but today they already have their own autonomy - which is called as Anambas Residence.
Anambas Residence has a capital named as Tarempa. Tarempa city is looked beautiful from several pictures. Here is a view of this city:
I have a native friend come from that place. She said that Tarempa - long time ago - named as Terempa. But, the pronounce then changed the name, so it's called as Tarempa today. I still do not know what the meaning of this "Tarempa" is.
She also said that this city has a lot of variation of cookies. They are so delicious.
The main tribe who lives in Tarempa and Anambas Islands, is Malayan - like the most citizens of Kep. Riau Province & Riau Province.
I love Tarempa... Sudah 21 tahun tak sua dirimu.. May be someday.
