Hello Medan 2010

Last weekend, my family and i were on vacation to Medan which remark as capital of North Sumatra Indonesia. This trip has been planned last minutes one and as for Medan, since Airasia Low cost Airlines flies there everyday and it only takes about an hour to reach there from LCCT, so there's not a big deal i guess. We took off from LCCT at 7.45 am and arrived Polonia International Airport Medan about 7.35 am local time. Medan is the third largest city in Indonesia after Jakarta and Surabaya. We stay in Tiara Hotel Medan. Even this four stars hotel a bit pricey but it considered as worth staying hotel since it located in Medan’s city center, and give convenience and ideal for leisure to everyone.
During our stay in Medan, most all of the eat-time,we had our meals at Rumah Makan Garuda and Restoran Simpang Tiga. This restaurant served us nasi padang and we really enjoyed it.The place which brought damage to my pockets was Pasar Ikan, but not that badly koyak compared to my previous visit to Tanah Abang,Jakarta and Pasar Baru,Bandung. Those two places really made me loose my breath several times..hee. Pasar Ikan is well known with the array of kain batik jawa, hand woven telekung or mukena and batik blouses. This place is quite crowded and there's so many rows of shops selling all kinds of stuffs. I also went to Sun Plaza, one of the shopping mall in Medan.
A quite short journey, 3 days 2 nights stay was yet exciting and my Medan vacation wasn't complete since i don't have chance to visit Lake Toba, Samosir Island and Berastagi this time..it's all about time constraint..so there will be second chapter of Hello Medan..just dun know the exact date yet..grinn~
