在湖上被太阳晒到快要变成烧猪肉，但是我还是喜欢达瑙多峇湖 （Danau Toba)。 棉兰的动荡不安和华情绪, 对八达人来说是非常不以为然的事。

当荷兰天主传教士到达苏门答腊岛传播教意的时候， 八达族人并不抗拒这外来文化，而且在基督传教士的劝解下, 同意放弃野蛮的砍头文化。 八达族的先辈就以保存原有的文化精华作为受洗的条件。 他门的高瞻远瞩， 让后人免去了被其他文化同化而迷失自我的问题。 八达族人是少数明白自己文化定位的民族。 与苏门答腊岛与马来半岛的其他民族相较, 八达族人的不亢不卑, 就把马来民族自卑的人渣政客比了下去。 某些东南亚国家的阿拉伯化, 对八达族人来说是不可思议的事。 当政局动乱的时侯， 迷失的文化定位的族群, 通常都把自身的不幸归咎于“非我族群” 的身上。
