Oh my gosh, I am so so sorry for not updating this blog immediately after I came home from North Sumatera. And worse, I still not updating my blog after my trip to Malaysia. I am so soooo sorry.
But, YES!! I had a trip to the amazing North Sumatera! It was a trip with my photography class and it was for the final test. I know, it's insane. But it has been a tradition for this class, and I think it's a good thing too for having a refreshing time with your friends, in a place that we don't know.
The trip was only five days. We had two bus. We took off like 12pm, and it was a looooooooooong trip. At night we stopped by for dinner at Kotanopan, Mandailing Natal. It was a very late dinner, it was like 10 or 11 pm. I wasn't sleep until morning, like 5 or 6 am because I am a person who not easy to fall asleep in a trip even it's a long trip, except if I were sooo tired then I will fall asleep. So, when everybody was awake, I slept, for only 3 hours I think. Then we stopped again to have a morning ritual except the shower. Haha. We just brush our tooth, washed our faced, pee, poo for those who want to, something like that. We still wore the same clothes with yesterday. Then we took off straight to Toba Lake and Samosir Island, it's an island right in the middle of the lake. We arrived there at 3 pm.
After two hours walked in Samosir, we went back to the bus and 5-10 minutes later we arrived at the cottage. Finally! We were rushing to take bath, and eat, and then we were hanging out with each others. And you know what? I fell down, right at my ass, when I walked back to my room from my friend's room. It was rain and the floor was so slippery and so was my flip-flop. Damn. It still hurt till 2 weeks later.
Day three. We packed our stuffs to the bus, then we took off to Berastagi. Before there, we stopped by at Sipiso-piso waterfall. It was soooo beautiful and it was so cold. We walked down stairs, it's a long stairs. But me and some others just stopped and took photos like almost the middle of it. Even from there, I still got very tired for getting up back there. Oh my gosh. And when I saw the photos at night, I just realized that my lips was so white. Oh God. But it was worth it because it's so beautiful, so peaceful, so green, and I liked there. It's a good place for finding some insporations but it's so far away, so, yeah.
Then, we continued our journey to Berastagi. But sadly, we couldn't go in because it's afternoon already. So we just walked around the gate. Many people sell flowers and its seeds, also some gifts from Berastagi like sweaters, ulos (Batak's scarf, it's soooo expensive), bracletes, others. Here are some pictures from there.
At night, we arrived at a hotel in Medan, and we were soooo tired so we didn't walk out to other places, except to Indomaret accross the street because we really needed snacks and drink. We played cards, or visiting each others rooms, and I slept like 12pm or 1am.
Day four. We visited Maimun Palace, it's a palace of sultans, I think. I wasn't too noticed the history because I was having fun taking photos. Hehe. And after that, it was the funny and silly story. I really wanted to go to secondhanded market, in Medan it's called Monza. So I asked the hotel security before how to go there. Sooooo after took so many photos at Maimun's, we walked to get transportation. We took angkot to Merdeka walk, then we took another angkot to Pajak Melati. But, in the middle of the way there, Adit's dad called him and he said that they were going to have lunch. And we were panic then we decided to go back to Maimun's. Oh my gosh it was the most tired and hot trip. We called ourselves stupid travellers. REALLY stupid travellers. I thought we had time until 4pm but it wasn't. We just had a little time until 2pm! So disappointed.
After lunch, we straight went home back to Padang, with a few stopped by. And finally I arrived at my home like 11pm. It was tired but it was fun. This is the first time I'm going somewhere else with my friends, a few days, without my parents. So, I was like too happy for that. Haha.
That's all about my photography trip. And once again I am so so sorry for posting this too late. Bye! :3
