Ambassador's Residence

During a visit to Jakarta, we were invited to an exclusive dinner party at the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia. His Excellency Scot Marciel, together with his wife, hosted the event and was attended by 130 young leaders from across Southeast Asia. The dinner reception started with an official welcome speech from the Ambassador and a group picture with him and his wife. We later found out that his wife, Mae, is a Filipina. We were able to talk with her in fluent Filipino. By the time the party has ended, Mrs. Marciel was kind enough to even give us a quick tour inside the house. We were able to have a picture of the group taken with the Marciels' Christmas tree.

The Ambassador and his wife were very gracious hosts

It was a fun night for those present. Good food and excellent music kept everyone entertained. It was also an opportunity to talk and create networks with other participants from other countries.

It was truly an honor to visit a residence of an ambassador.
