Watch it, the natives use wood materials for the buildings. Mostly homes have been renovated with modern and cheaper material, such as zinc roofs and bricks. 

The original roof should be like this below, from 'sagu' plants, called 'rumbia'

These pictures below show the most original house of Aceh, by its wood carving and 'sagu' roof. This one belongs to the ex Middle East ambassador.  

Lubuk Sukon Village has a green and beatiful view everywhere. Almost every home plants 'belimbing wuluh' ('sour starfruit') and grapefruit.

'Belimbing wuluh' can be processed becoming 'asam sunti' or 'sour sunti'. Look, those are 'belimbing wuluh' dried in the sun.
