Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself by saying that my name is Rian Adi Wijatmiko and that I am a Sambas State Polytechnic student in class 4A of the Tourism Business Management study program. This time I will present my story of participating in activities when I was a 3rd semester student, namely the Lala Kuli Festival.

The Lala Kuli Festival was held on October 5–9, 2022, last year. This activity aims to provide opportunities for MSME players in Sambas Regency to showcase their culinary and superior products. This activity was warmly welcomed by the entire community of Sambas Regency. Many interesting and unique local products are offered there at quite affordable prices.

My class was given an assignment by the lecturer to interview the MSME players there. We were divided into groups for each task, namely the opening, content, and closing of the report, but the information retrieval was done together. We visited the place on Friday, October 7, 2022, at 9 a.m.; at that time, the entrance ticket system was not yet in effect until 4 p.m.; after that time, a tariff of 10 thousand rupiah per person would be charged.

I was the English reporter for this event. I was a little nervous at the time because the atmosphere was quite crowded, but I managed to finish it. I am very happy to be able to participate in this activity because I can also try a lot of delicious food and drinks.
