Medan Trip Day 1

departure from Sitiawan -- Star Shuttle Bus at 11pm.
reach KLIA at about 2.35am, then finally reach LCCT 廉价机场at around 3 something.
our flight is 7.40am, still not yet time to check in the luggage.
so we went to Mc Donald n had our breakfast. i ate Porrigde...^^ like it~ haha.
there's an area for all the passengers to watch FIFA world cup. there are 6 plasma TV there in a row but not big one. many ppl just sit on the floor to watch it. (as in the photo)



then we waited at the airport until 4.30am to check in our luggage.
it was a long queue since we line up a bit late. many Indonesian guy n gal going back and with lots of staffs. most of them overload n had to pay extra money to the agent.

after check in luggage, we went to the boarding area to take a good rest. about one hour more to go on the flight.




finally, we're on the flight AK 450 at 7.40am
after 55 minutes, we reached Polonia Airport, Indonesia.


then we found our tour guide who was holding an A4 paper printed my mum's name. haha.
we went into the car-- Toyota Innova (but in Indonesia, they called it Kijang Innova).
i just can't stand with the worker here who always ask for tips as they just help a bit...
luckily the tour guide pay it, haha.
so we went to the road after sitting in the car....

along the road I notice Medan ppl mostly using Toyota Innova & Unser and also Avanza.
but they called Unser as Kijang.
besides, there are also many buses (mini one) and trishaw seen on the road.


u may notice one thing: the mini bus is open air one, which means the door does not close. behind also. =="

and one more thing, the ppl here driving so dangerously (to me)... they can go very near to each other's car n always horn each other. the tour guide say this is the way they communicate... ><

Our first stop today: Palace of Sulthen Deli



nothing much to see actually.
simply take few photos then leave.



then we went on toward Lake Toba...
it was a far~~~ journey...
sittting in the car for about 3 n a half hour.
坐到屁股都痛,哈哈。那司机竟然没停。。。只好在车睡觉。。。。

终于,来到了土产店:Pematang Siantar
the name of the local product is so funny....haha.
Teng Teng, Ting Ting, Tung Tung, Ping Pang, Pong Pong...etc etc
u can test eating at the shop, it's free.

then we bought each type a small box.


next, it lunch time.
(malay food) =="

i was asking, why we come Indonesia eat Malay food, then Uncle Choo Hua say: Indonesia almost like Malay la...

here is our lunch...
(have to eat rice, haiz...no other choice)


after lunch, we're going to Lake Toba at last. about 1 hour journey...



The tour guide say LAKE TOBA is the largest lake in the Asia Tenggara.
i checked on google just noe, ya it's right. haha.

it was raining when we reach.
n the hotel is underground one...
so the room is beside the sea only...




last photo:
view from my room


super boring in the room now.
the room looks old n lousy, haha... but ok la..cannot criticize too much.
luckily got wireless connection. so happy, haha.

P/S: Medan time is one hour behind Malaysia.
now Malaysia is 6.40pm, but here is 5.40pm only...

7pm only eat dinner = 8pm Malaysia time....

guess wat is the activity for tonight. it's free time. but i think i just can't staying in the room. nothing to do. must go walk around with brother later, haha.



tomorrow morning going Berastagi, check in another Hotel...
