Lake Toba
August 11th, 2007Last month, 3 of us follow our friend to her hometown- Medan in Indonesia. During our second day, she brings us to one of the famous lake in Indonesia-Lake Toba. From Medan to Lake Toba, we need to take around 4 hours to reach there. My friend’s mum was so worry about us, she even hire a driver and ask my friend to bring along a guy with us. We are so touch and her mum and even her friend was treating us very nice. They really friendly and helpful trust me!!

On the way to Lake Toba, We are very excited but we also culture shock!! We culture shock because the some of the people there was ‘fierce’ and they drive very fast. It is a normal thing if you heard the horning on the road. In our country, it is a bit rude if people keep on horning you. But in their country, u can hear horning everywhere, they think that this was actually giving them a sign or warning, let the people aware of the car. Please don’t get shock or irritating if people horn you in Indonesia.
Once we reach Lake Toba, we totally attract by the beautiful view in Lake Toba. I do not know how to describe it. In Lake Toba, we can feel the cloud was so near to us. Maybe the resort in Lake Toba was not as good as the resort we went before, but I think the most important one should be the nature of beauty of the place not the hotel or resort. I think the things I will be more focus is the place I visit, I won’t really care about the level of star of the resort. This is because most of the time I won’t be around in the resort.
So, how 5 of us enjoy our trip in Lake Toba? For me, as long as we feel comfortable, happy, and enjoy, we already hit the objective we go for a trip. Why we still want to care so much things when we go travel. Normally, I won’t listen to any call when I go for travel. If you want to enjoy your trip, mobile phone is a ‘burden’ for us.
Friends, if you want to enjoy your holiday, please open your heart to accept their culture. If you do not want people to disturb your holiday, please switch off your mobile phone. Rest is because we want to go further in our life and Lake Toba….is a good choice for you.
