tq

jeangrey

pernah pegi tp lama dah...

stay kt satu hotel kt lake toba... tasik dia mcm laut, memang seronok wpun pantai tkleh mandi cuma bole main jetski je, ada yg lain tp malas nk venture.... bilik betul2 kt pinggir tasik so malam2 bole dengar air laut... nyaman je rasanya lebih2 lg kalau duduk kt balkoni bilik.... service bagus....

shopping pun ok cuma kena hati2 ngan org2 batak nih... kalau dh tawar menawar brg bagai nk rak, better beli... if not tgk2 je.... cuma kalau kita turun dari bas persiaran dia tuh, kita akan dikerumuni oleh org jual brg.... lemas pulak bila everytime jadik mcm tuh....

kt medan stay kt hotel kecik, jadi la cuma bila nk makan tu kita jadik cautious sbb takut tk halal... shopping centre mmg ok cuma taste agak different dgn malaysia so tk beli byk sgt.... org2 kt sana bila tgk org malaysia ni tenung semcm je.... takut pon ada tp buat2 tk reti je la, of course kena jalan ramai2 takut kena kidnap :bgrin:

overall pengalaman yg menyeronokkn.... bajet pun tk besar

Medan, Indonesia

Medan is the capital city of the Sumatera Utara (North Sumatra) province of Indonesia. It is located in the north of the province, at , and has a nearby harbour, Belawan, and an international airport.

Officially Medan's birthdate is 1 July, 1590.

Demography
The city is Indonesia's third most populous after Surabaya and Jakarta, with approximately 2.5 million people. Compared to (Capital and largest city of Indonesia; located on the island of Java; founded by the Dutch in 17th century) Jakarta, the city might seem a little provincial, as it lacks most of the glossy Western skyscrapers and shops.

History
Medan's embryo was a village called Kampung Medan (Medan Village). Kampung Medan was founded by Guru Patimpus around the (Click link for more info and facts about 1590s) 1590s. Because Kampung Medan sits on Tanah Deli (Land of Deli), Kampung Medan is also referred as Medan-Deli. The original location of Kampung Medan is an area where the River of Deli meets River Babura.

The first inhabitants of Medan came from the Batak Karo community. It was not until the King of Aceh, Sultan Iskandar Muda, sent his warlord, Gocah Pahlawan Laksamana Khoja Bintan, to be the Kingdom of Aceh's representative in Tanah Deli, that the Kingdom of Deli started to grow. This growth stimulated growth in both the population and culture of Medan.

Medan did not enjoy vast development until the (The decade from 1860 to 1869) 1860s, when the (The West Germanic language of the Netherlands) Dutch colonialists began clearing the land for (Leaves of the tobacco plant dried and prepared for smoking or ingestion) tobacco plantations. Medan quickly became a centre of government and commercial activity, dominating development of Indonesia's western region.

The Dutch governed Tanah Deli from 1658, after Sultan Ismail, ruler of the Kingdom of Siak Sri Indrapura, yielded some of his once-ruled land, Deli, Langkat, and Serdang. In 1915 Medan officially became the capital of North Sumatera Province, and officially a city at 1918.

Places
There are many older buildings in Medan that still retain their Dutch architecture. Some buildings are: the old City Hall, Post Office Center, Water Tower which has been Medan City's icon, and Titi Gantung - a bridge over railway.

There are several historic places such as Maimun Palace and the Great Mosque (Masjid Raya) of Medan.

The newest food court in central of Medan city is Kesawan Square. Many kinds of Indonesian, Western and Chinese cuisine become special interest.

Transportation
A uniqueness of Medan is its motorized becaks found almost everywhere in Medan. Unlike traditional becaks, a motorized becak can take its passenger to anywhere in the city. There are also more common transport like taxis and minibuses.

Railroad tracks connect Medan to Tanjungpura to the northwest, to port of Belawan to the north, and to Binjai, Tebing Tinggi and Pematang Siantar to the southeast.

The seaport of Belawan is about 20 km to the north. Polonia International Airport is located in the heart of the city.

A tollroad connects Medan to Belawan and Tanjungmorawa. Medan?ubuk Pakam and Medan?injai are being planned.
