bored

It has been a month since i came back from Malaysia and ithin these times, i only could produce two articles which i think that is not productive at all. It is not like i have so many things to do but i am just cannot write even a thing. My brain stuck and it always happened when i am in indonesia. Besides that, I always have bad temper when i am here. Bored......

the place that i lived in actually is a nice place to live, it has alot of facility such as tennis and basketball courts, billiard, swimming pool, badminton court, shooting area,park, go-kart,etc. However, i still feel that i am in a place which is far away from everywhere as it is quite far from city centre. If there is no car, then dont expect that you can go anywhere. Further, the wheather is very humid and not clean since the eartquakes. There is nowhere to go, the nearest shopping mall is 15 minutes away by car.

So far, i just went to two picnic places which are pantai permai and brastagi/ tanah karo. Permai becah is a new beach, it is next to pantai cermin where tsunami occurred. It has boat and karaoke facilities. There is nothing much to say about this place. Oh ya, there is a theme park nearby the beach.

Brastagi/ tanah karo is a highland where we can find fresh and cheap fruits and vegetables. According to some of my friends, there is a beautiful waterfall but in order to reach there, we need to climd a high staircase. Further away from Brastagi, there are kota kabanjahe and gundaling. Kabanjahe is famous of its passion fruits while gundaling is located at the top of the highland.

The place is called tanah karo mainly because karo people live there. They are different from javanese in alot of ways. Karo girls/women are mostly beautiful, further the people are very hardworking. They have different religion with the javanese. The Karo are Christian. One thing that can make us recognise them as batak/ karo is the way they speak which is quite rough. The place is also famous of the corn which has a lot of taste such as steam corn, bbq corn and chili sause corn. For those who likes to ride horses and sado, this is the place to go
