Missing U

I've been in Singapore for just around 2 months but the urge to go back to my hometown (Medan,Indonesia) seems bigger and bigger. I always wait for the school vacation so I can go back there. I missed my parents even though they just came last Friday. I also missed my friends, my other relatives and my maid (P.S I missed her because of her cooking though haha). In my hometown there are so many recreation places that we can enjoy our relaxing time with family. Some of the places have a really beautiful scenery and when you'll want to go there again















The pictures above are the Lake Toba and Simalem
Lake Toba and Simalem share the same lake but the feeling when you go there is definitely different. Almost all tourist prefer to go to Simalem because it's located in the highland and surrounded by mountains so when you go there you can feel the cool windy breeze. As the opposite of Simalem, the Lake Toba has a really warm weather and almost nothing to see there except the lake. You can go to Samosir Island via Lake Toba but I heard that it isn't very safe to go there because you must go there by sampan and it shaking a lot so I think it won't be the recommended place for the tourist.

There are other places in Medan that is also the tourist most favourite place to go and its name is......... BRASTAGI!!!! It's the place that is like a traditional village and it's located in highland too. Most of the people who live there are the "Batak" tribe. They have traditional houses that are very unique.


As you can see from the pictures above, the houses have a very unique rooftop and usually the house of the "Batak" tribe have a big spacious garden so when you go there you can breathe the unpolluted air there.
