Travel News

I didn't do much talking, though, as I was fascinated to see other uniquely styled tuk-tuks pulled by motorcycles, scooters, and even bicycles. Where there's a will, there's a way!

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

I absolutely enjoyed visiting Tomok Pasaoran in Samosir Island, which houses the tomb of King Sidabutar. The area is both the resting place of the King of the Batak people who reside on Samosir Island and a museum that includes traditional Batak architecture and clothing. This was a very welcomed opportunity for me to learn more about the numerous and distinct ethnic groups here in this diverse nation of Indoneisa.

Other Travel News from this week:

On the way back from North Sumatra, I passed by the equator! There was a large museum and park area commemorating the equator line. I didn't get a chance to stop, though, as my driver was eager on getting his passengers back to their destiniation on time. There's no doubt that I must visit this spot at the equator sometime soon!
