My Solo Indonesia Trip 13 June to 5 July @ Tuesday, July 16, 2013
I was a little depressed about my life.. very dull and not painting with beautiful colour.
Therefore, i tell myself that 'I need to do something about it'. What a coincidences, I bought the flight ticket from AA, it was during the super promotion. There you go.. my trip was from Medan - Surabaya - Bali - Lombok for 3 weeks.
Many of my friends asked me why Indonesia? hmm why not? its beautiful country with many famous volcano mountain too.
So, I started to plan my trip right after my contract with Maxis. Checked all the destination from www.cari.com and couch surfing website. My intention was to know the local and live like the local. Therefore I wrote to a few of the Couch Surfers in Medan, Surabaya and Bali.
I was too excited about my trip because its Indonesia.
Day 1.
Arrived in Medan airport. I am going to Berastagi by mini van at Padang Bulan which is kinda far from the airport. Too expensive to take a cab so I hired a motorbike which cost me only IDR25,000 to Padang Bulan.
We are at Gundaling Hill
This is one of the Buddhist temple by Burmese.
So... Mt Sibayak for next day!

This is the mini van to Berastagi (IDR15,000) 3 hours
Not so comfortable but acceptable.
Hostel - Wisma Sibayak. Only IDR50,000 per night. I was there for 3 days 2 nights
It was kinda early so decided to walk around in the city. Well, the weather wasn't too nice because of global warming. Cloudy and windy. Not the forget! It's freezing there.
I went to Gundaling hill by mini bus which cost only IDR5000. In fact, wasn't a good idea to go up because it was so foggy and u barely see any nice view!
I met a nice family up there. So nice of them to offer me their food and drinks while we waiting for rain stop. They are so curious why am I here alone. Why I choose to travel solo? And claims that I am a brave girl! Well, they also told me not so safe to travel solo in Indonesia. In fact, same as Malaysia!
The family
Simply Nasi Padang from them :D
Cold n windy! I barely see anything!
This is one of the Buddhist temple by Burmese.
Hi, This is Hui Wen,Wong.
I see the world and record with my camera and my words for this blog. For you, and myself.
I believes that as you grow older, you tend to forget these moments. Therefore, I set this up.
I play, I travel, I eat
Kindly email me if you have anything in your mind :D
