Horas Medan =)

Wao... It's been so  fast, our uni re-open again lo.... Got to go back to study life again....

So..... Why I didn't stop working in the end of August like what mostly others do? As, my sister have booked flight to medan for 4D3N few months ago... Hehe!!! We want to go Bali at first, but da jie went there before, so we got to choose other place. Then da jie friend recommended Medan to us, thus, began of our trip here.

The trip was very very relax. The lifestyle in medan or should I say Indonesians have a more relaxing lifestyle. This can be proven by the way they walk, the way they drive... There is one interesting thing, on the road you can see the people actually drive following the way they like it. Their way of driving is very funny but I sincerely salute their driving skills. You will know when you experience it yourself.

There were a total of five of us - 3 elder sisters, mum and I. 

 Air Asia - Everyone can fly =)

 

1st time we took flight, so excited =P

Lake Toba - really pretty

The scene just outside our room in 1st night

 

 Batak house - mostly Batak population in lake toba

 The carved thingy in museum - they really have nice artworks

 Batak house too..

 Some of the hotels which located by lakeside get to use the lake as swimming pool. 

You can see how clear the water is

Actually I wonder why the lake is so clean, as lake water is not moving,

and so where the sampah goes?

This place, if not mistaken is called Tomok village. 

Where it is a historical place. 

See what I take in my hand and guess what was I doing?

Yup...

This was the place for death penalty of Batak people

The execution was very cruel 

First they sent the culprit to another stone (miss the pic)

The culprit had to lean on the stone 

then the executor will make some cuts on the culprit body

and they pour lemon juice on the wound

then only they sent the culprit to this stone 

and chopped his head.

Lastly the king will drink the blood and the eat the heart of the culprit-they believed by doing so the king will gain more power

and the head of the culprit would be hang on the village to prove that they had been executed.

So cruel... yakss...

Then went jalan jalan in market

Boat to Samusir Island - island surrounded by lake toba.. 

 We went to Samosir Island by another type of boat, which can carry cars along. 

Like the ferry we have in Penang, but it is smaller.

The kids there are all experts in swimming, they can just jump into the lake and play in the water. We were quite shock when we saw them jump inside the lake, as it is very deep and none of us will dare to jump inside like them.

Our hotel (forgot the name)

Then we went to berastagi on 3rd day.
The place is quite cold especially during raining day.
It is just like cameron highland,
There sell many fruit which grow in cold area like strawberry, corn......

The view from our room, really nice

Five of us... Bought the same shirt =)

We stop at some attraction place on the way to brastagi,

Hot spring - just RM 3 per entry, and it was my first time.. like it so much... can be very relaxing

Sispiso Waterfall

The scenery is very very pretty... We took many photos here.

As our driver is a Muslim, and thus we had to wait him buka puasa 1st, then only he fetched us to dinner.

And thus, maybe we were too hungry
and every dinner we had was taste so delicious.... haha!!!

We did went a chinese restoran really not bad,
and went the local food stalls beside the road ( that meal should be the food that I am actually like, as we want to try local food which is more special la... )

We were actually going around Medan town on the last day.
Too bad I forgot all the name of the places...
As it was almost one month before... lolx...

So... Um.. Medan town for me is just okok....
Lake Toba & Berastagi are better places for vacation.
But you also have to take a flight to medan la...
UM... nice place =)
