After the 1st trip to Padang and Bukit Tinggi, I received many feedback from SHC members that they missed the 1st trip and those who want to go again. I understand the feeling of missing the boat and curiosity of finding out " what’s is so special" about that place. <\/p>\n

Personally I enjoyed myself with the grounp of nice people, great food and unique scenery despite of the hassles, unwarranted matters pop up during the trip. <\/p>\n

I suggest to have the 2nd trip on 1-4 August. It will be 4 days 3 nights. <\/p>\n

Hopefully we will have enough time to eat more lobsters, big crabs, prawn and fish, avocado juice and authentic nasi Padang.<\/p>\n

This time we must have our Indonesian massage not in a rush but really relax and fun. After all it is very cheap. <\/p>\n

We should do what the local do in Padang and Bukit Tinggi; roaming in the wet market, see things you never see in Singapore, take a ride on the horse carriage, talk to local folks, listen to the pounding waves, breathe slowing the cool crisp air. <\/p>\n

The angmoh from Australia know West Sumatra province has a hugh wave playing ground and they just come all the way to surf. Unbelievable. Actually West Sumatra is resource rich. It has large deposits of coal, copper, lead and zinc, cement, timber(in the past), gold and silver. <\/p>\n

Lobsters are abundant and that is why we get to enjoy our cheap juicy lobsters. This time we must bring wasabi and we make lobster sushi ourself. I was told live bamboo lobster is the best lobster sushi.    <\/p>\n

West Sumatra produces the most bird’s nest in the world. Unfortunately not many people know and the bird’s nest caves are heavily protected. Part of Brand’s bottle bird’s nest come from West Sumatra.<\/p>\n

Tiger Airways is still having zero fares to Padang and I think 1-4 August may be a good time. <\/p>\n

Those confirmed and already booked the airticket<\/p>\n
