Beautiful world of Medan

Day 6


Field trip to Socfin Indonesia Plantation & Bridgestone Plantation. The different between these two plantation is that Socfin was a gov company while Bridgestone..well it is own by the famous Bridgestone tyres company. Socfin has 1358ha of land while the Bridgstone has 18,000ha. Can u see d different. Well i'm not gonna discuss much about this, coz if you want to know more u can read my official report.. after we're done with the field visits, we travel to the legendary Danau Toba (Toba Lake)..but first the famous burung goreng..(basicaly it's a fried puyuh, eat with rice and 16 0ther delicacies. Coz here is how it work in the restaurants....the waiter will only ask about your drink..then they will proceed by sending all 12-16 food choises to ur table.. So i sit there looking very confius..my companion ms.zaida explain that they will only charge on what u have chosen to eat. Ooooo. have'nt they heard about buffet style? :)




Day 7

The scenery along the way to the ledgendary Toba Lake mesmerized u and make u wonder how amazing God creation are.. Subhannallah. It make u think about how small you are in this big..big world. The lake is 100 kilometres long,30 kilometres wide, and 505 metres (1,666 ft) at its deepest point.This is definitely a must see place before u die..we took a 2 hour feri ride around the lake..and visits the island in the middle of the lake for a surveniers. This is one of the nicest experience in my life. So, for anyone who hasnt been here..u definitely should.

Day 8


Visits the laboratory for soil and leaf analysis, situated 1 hour from the Sungei Putih Experiment Station. Basiccaly it was like a BGA, where the DG and DDG office are. However Pak Chairil was not in the ofis. So i was introduced to Pak Anang the DDG of Operation..nice guy.
