Well, Koto is actually my family name given from my ancestor. I use it as my surname since I just came to Turkey 2 years ago. I've never used it before when i was in Indonesia since i didn't think it was needed. The reasons why i use Koto as my surname are 1. My name is too long and there is no surname on my name 2. Turkish always ask what my surname is 3. i'm thinking to build my future brand from now on. So, If you've ever heard a surname such as Tanjung, Chaniago etc. Mine, Koto is something like that... and you know what? I can't marry with a guy who has Koto as his family name. My mom told me That's kinda culture in some region in Padang that we can't marry with someone who has same Family Name. It's a little bit Illogical, isn't it ? and it's too long to explain because i need to explain what is matrilineal first and than probably you would understand. Koto is a reflection of me, that's why i use wear not wears as the verb. what koto wear is nothing but just a caption when i post what i wore on Instagram or somewhere else. Somehow it's funny when my friend offered herself for taking my picture for my what-koto-wear. I've never thought people would realize about the caption before. And here i wanna share some pictures when i was visiting Istanbul 2 weeks ago. Icha took me to Eminonu for having dinner after attending Gebyar GISBI 2014, an Indonesia Culture Festival. *Please dont save the picture without my permission :) what do you think about the necklace? That's my first time D.I.Y Necklace. She is Ismi Khairunnisa Ariani but you can call her Icha. She was my roommate when we were studying TOMER in Turgut Ozal University last year. So happy because she always accompany me for my 1 week vacation. We ate Balik Ekmek for dinner. It's priced 6 TL for a half of Bread. forgot to take the picture, sorry. we were too hungry to do that. Tulips everywhere Thanks to Icha for taking me to Yeni Cami in Eminonu between 08.00-09.00 pm . It wasn't so crowded so I can took some flying-posed pictures. Thank you! Salam.
