Our first destination was Medan, the fourth metropolis of North Sumatra province on the Indonesian peninsula north-west of Jakarta, on the Indonesian capital Java, where Japan had flown for about seven and a half hours via Singapore.

Medan is a commercial city with a high proportion of overseas Chinese (Chinese immigrants who have acquired residence nationality). This place is full of vitality!

Located in this province of North Sumatra (← is the equivalent of Japan's "province"). The vast Doba Lake, in the center of the volcanic lake formed by the largest volcanic eruption in Southeast Asia, grows coffee beans around the lake.

In the center of this island, Chasmont Island is about the size of Singapore!
