It has been quite some time since my last post. There is a reason since I returned to my hometown in Lampung, Indonesia, which I guess many of you would not know where to locate it on the atlas. Anyway, the internet connection there is real slow (56K) so it has taken quite some time to write this post, due to my impatience.
This trip is mainly for me to eat, play and sleep. It's the holidays you know, what else do you expect one to do? Ate quite a lot of the stuffs I miss, like Martabak (Bangka style), Mutton Satay and Soup, Fried and BBQ seafood. Start to drool already? There was also the occasional trip to suburbs to look at swallow houses, actually these are just 3-4 storey buildings for swallow to build bird's nest in and the owners can then harvest them for sale. Sounds like good money right, since bird's nest can be equated to the food equivalent of gold.
One special event when I went back to Lampung was a new opening of a hotel on Bukit Randu, which is on the summit of a hill overlooking the city. My dad got free hotel vouchers for 2 rooms which was not bad. So we took this opportunity to try out the hotel for one night, inclusive of breakfast. Not bad really, for a small town like Lampung. However one bad point of the hotel is its mosquitoes, they really ought to handle this problem!!
Will be going to Jakarta on Saturday the 17th and then its time to shop there before returning to Singapore on the 19th
