Same old eyes, in new world

I remember one of  Henry Miller quote - One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things, i could agreed more for him.

What i see in Medan?

Traffic in Medan is absolutely Traffic! "Me first" rule all the way road, beat the red lights, everyone cut everybody and for foreign pedestrian like me, crossing the road in Medan is absolutely dangerous and life threatening! honking is common sight - they just love to honk for everything or anything in seconds frequencies also the public transport - it's more worst. One time i take Angkutan and seat behind the driver and that's really not good for my heart. Seeing drivers in Medan always make me think: Why they such in hurry anyway? 

Rural countryside small city and typically much of the land is devoted to agriculture. Buffalo is many like cats and dogs. Children going to school barefoot and if they riding Angkutan, they really fully utilized the capacity because few of them will be hang on van door or just simply seat on the van roof. I think that was amazing...the road condition is hills and sloppy but they really can hang onto.

Furthermore children barefoot in road tar on the sunny day that i can see a distance mirage but still they can walk barefoot comfortably - awesome.

Medanese is really know how find a money, i think nothing free in Medan. At the moment at the jetty to Samosir Island a bunch of kids swimming and screaming for thrown money, not until you throwing the money they will climb on the boat and keep clingy. Be careful also if they offer you a service because they will charge you, like help carry the luggage, push you a trolly, fill up your imigression form or help you pay the airport tax and what pissed me off, at the airport when i request the shop owner to post me a stamp-ready-postcard on behalf she want me to pay Rp5,000 *sigh* so it's true-nothing free here.
