Okay day 1. It's start very early since we have very early flight at 7 something in the morning, so to avoid morning rush or we are being rushed to go over processes for international flight at airports, so yes we went out at like 2 am, and being kl, of course there are still many cars on the road. Chill! lena dalam kereta la kerjaanya. but the excitedness ( is that word even exist) keeps me awake?
Arrived barely at 3 am kut at KLIA2 and went straight to Old Town because four girls are hungryhhh!
Then straight to immigration, check in and all that. Thanks god semua lepas gracefully oiii we aint bad people but it's normal to be nervous okay okay.
Stuck for a while before the last immigration check in because we are way to early katanya. 4.30 am baru bukak.
p/s : Im so gonna use manglish so sorry for yalls.

| this is more like acah2 kabin crew pics |
Yes, i'm excited to be in sky again.
this is where the fun stories begin. As we are trying to sleep, suddenly the caption already announcing the arrival like in few minutes. arghhh later let's take longer flight to sleep k girls? hahahha.
Estimate time for the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Namu, Medan is 45 minutes. huih macam nak balik kg je gaya.
A new experience again, going out of the plan by the back door and walking down on the airport lanes to the main gate. with such a cold weather. Medan welcomes us with rain!!!!!!!1
Departure time : 7.45 am
arrival time : 7.30 am
it's weird, like going to the past. ( check on the gmt fact k)
Upon arrival as usual, immigration and customs check. Alhamdulillah.
checklist to do when you arrive :
1. make sure your passport is with you to ensure the smooth process of entering the country
2. Calm down
3. Fill in the declaration forms ( details and everything ), and hands them to the immigration people
4. Be safe
And for us, we're searching for our guide. My bad i basically have little photos at the airport while arriving because we're too busy adapting lulz eventho it just one hour ago.

| muka separuh tido. |
Luckily he's there and after some time w finally settled in the Innova car to start our journey to Lake Toba. One of my dream place. Have been listening to stories since i was in high school and i'm finally going. Guess what i'm estatic there!
First stop. Cinderalaras.
Near to airport, i think few kilo metres away. Impression : oh god this is what we are searching for.
Tbh, when the guide said we're going for a light breakfast, we're imagining, like toast or like boiled eggs or something. but here we are.
 |
| dem nasi ayam penyet for breakfast! Heaven in your riceeeee! |
Manis gila k. Mohon mintak air suam kalau jenis tak minum manis.
For a group of people who really enjoyed ayam penyet since our uni years, this is really a welcoming present. and the boss of the tour guide even specially treats us as a token of apologize since he cannot personally bring us to the places, and replacing him with one of his workers. No sweat mas, we're okay tho!
 |
| the sambal just RIGHT! |
Cindelaras has it own story of princess turning into chicken. Okay not funny but you can search online i think.
The journey to Lake Toba takes about five hours. Guess what? Sleep and eating is fun while it's raining outside.
another surprise. Since they have no like specific rest area like in Malaysia, we only stops at petrol station called PERTAMINA for toilets and such.
We are smiling. The toilets are just clean and guess what. They dont even have flush but clean. Something we need to learn from peeps!
I'm a happy tourist since i'm very picky when it comes to toilet.
 |
| indo's petrol station. |
I don't really remember things before that. (I slept okay.)
Second stop. Paten.
it's like a traditional peanut based crackers store.
25000 rupiah per box. ( if you want to buy pls buy here because it costs double at other places like airport)
Sedap la buat mengunyah. Cheapskate me only buy one after choosing.
Continue on the road while learning words differences between indo and mas. It's fun history learning too.
 |
| the view |
Wonderful view eventho the roas is small and with traffic jem, but still manageable.
don't be startled like me when the supir trying to cut the lanes, that's their routines.
Third stop.

 |
| portion is like for ten people. No worries. Just eat! |
comments : so so, but sambal on point as usual
