As a information, besides that EVERY DRIVERS (not only the angkot driver) often don’t follow the traffic light! *mau2 gw*
Although it’s red, if they want to go straight, they wont stop their vehicles..
WELCOME TO MEDAN EVERYBODY!

salam knal Jubel..

I thought so as well but apparently it is not. Anyway, I wonder how the “another sky” would be like if Medan’s is already like this.

I’m doing fine here, currently working on my thesis, haha. got to have it done before the end of july. hope you’re doing fine as well.

sadly, there isn’t any indonesian restaurant here serving bataknese foods (bataknese is, I guess, the adjective of batak). the good thing is I have a lot, yeah a loootttt, of bataknese friends here who can cook very delicious bataknese foods, haha. we always gather after church and, sometimes, stay in each other’s houses just to cook bataknese foods together. very nice, isn’t it?

you don’t like susu horbo? oh come on, hahaha. if it tastes weird, maybe you should try susu horbo putih, it’s the original version of susu horbo.

lol, I thought the angkot drivers in jakarta are the worst in the world, but medan’s are worse. it’s just like the proverb “above sky there is another sky”

Do you find any Batak restaurant there in Japan? Hahaha. Anyway, I don’t like susu horbo, it tastes weird. Hehe. But mie keling and kue bohong are OK.

How are you, Sherwin?

PS. What is the adjective for “Batak”? Bataks? Batakese? Batakan? Or simply Batak?

backsound: Laope au marhuta sada. Tung sopola leleng nga mulak au. Di parjalangan ndang sonang au. Sai tu Pulo Samosir ma sihol au.

I love that song as well. Hahaha. I will visit Pulau Samosir soon. Hahaha.

Oke, ito. lagi marpoto2 pun kami di sini! *gua juga gak bisa bahasa Batak.
