Last trip in 2010

Tomorrow evening, I will be on trip again.
This round, I will go to Lake Toba, Medan, Indonesia.

Let me intro what about the special of the lake first:
Lake Toba
(Danau Toba) is the largest volcanic lake in the world and is in Sumatra, Indonesia. Samosir island within the lake is the island within the island of Sumatra.

Lake Toba is an immense volcanic lake covering an area of 1707 sq km (1,000 sq km bigger than Singapore) with an island in the center. Formed by a gigantic volcanic eruption some 70,000 years ago, it is probably the largest resurgent caldera on Earth. Some studies say it might have been associated with causing previous ice age/climate change and the largest human population bottleneck ever. Genetic estimates suggests that there were only a few thousand individuals that survived the catastrophe. The island in the middle - Pulau Samosir - was joined to the caldera wall by a narrow isthmus, which was cut through to enable boats to pass; a road bridge crosses the cutting. Samosir island is the cultural centre of Batak tribe who are mostly Christians in the modern days.


This trip was planned in last minutes, and invited by a friend.
We decided on 30-Nov-2010 and booked the air ticket immediately (of course AirAsia got promotion lol :P)

Our budget for this trip is RM450 for 3 days 3 night per person (inclusive airfare oh)
I consider this is cheap, therefore I decided to go this trip.
This will be my last trip in year 2010. hehe~

I know, you gonna said I always said I'm broke, no money, but still going here and there, right?
Yeah... Actually I was struggling when my friend invite me.
I was thinking whether I afford to pay after this trip or not? Coz I gonna make lot of payment after/during the trip. Of course, the payment is for my house one lo~

At last, I still decided to go! The reason is I might have to stop traveling (oversea) for a moment, at least whole year of 2011. Else I will be in deep trouble of my financial issue. And also calculate the money that I have at the moment, I think I still survive for this trip. Therefore, without think much, I make my mind & GO!

Terrible, right? Ha~! Yeah!!!
I'm crazy now~~
