Rote Island

Rote Island (Indonesian: Pulau Rote, also called Roti) is an island of Indonesia, part of the East Nusa Tenggara province of the Lesser Sunda Islands. According to legend, this island got its name accidentally when a lost Portuguese sailor arrived and asked a farmer where he was. The surprised farmer, who could not speak Portuguese, introduced himself, "Rote".[citation needed] About 80% of the people of Rote Island in Indonesia are Christian. Christianity is an important part of the community. (1) My mom came from Rote Island. Her family name is Therik. Therik family name is famous at Rote. My grandpa is Army.
