Medan Indonesia

On 20th June 2009, it's Medan time for me.


Medan is the capital of the North Sumatra province in Indonesia.

Located on the northern coast, Medan is the fourth largest city in Indonesia, and the largest Indonesian city outside Java.


The city has a diverse communities. It is famous throughout Indonesia as the home of the Batak people, although, traditionally it is a Malay Kampong.


A highly visible component of Medan's population is the large number of Chinese, who are mostly to speak Hokkien.

It has a famous lake called Lake Toba. It is a lake and supervolcano, 100 kilometres long and 30 kilometres wide.


Most of the people who live around Lake Toba are ethnically BATAKS. Traditional Batak houses are noted for their distinctive roofs (which curve upwards at each end, as a boat's hull does) and their colorful decor.
