Holiday in Medan

Hello guys!!!
I’m just come back from my holiday and guess what? I spend my holiday to Medan!
Wow! It’s so amazing,isn’t it? And I want to share a little information about Medan,want to know?
Check this out!

Medan is the capital city of North Sumatra province,Indonesia. The city is the largest city of Sumatra Island. Wow,can you imagine it? There are so many cities in Sumatra Island,but Medan is the largest city,how awesome!
The weather in Medan is sunny but cloudy too,so it's not so hot because the sun was covered by the cloud.
Ah,ya! Do you want to know what places that i visited when i was in Medan? 
The first place that i visited is Lake Toba,this lake is very broad and in the middle of the lake there's a small island that called Samosir Island. The second place is Medan City Hall,this place is built since dutch colonial period. And Medan City Hall is now overshadowed by the giant three-skyscraper 'Grand Aston City Hall' hotel-office-retail complex, situated just behind it. The third place is Istana Maimun,this place is a palace. And this palace has 30 rooms,and i really like this palace because of the unique design,mixing elements from many styles. 


Medan also has a lot of specialties of food, such as: Bika Ambon,Saksang,Tanggo-tanggo,Daun Ubi Tumbuk,Lapis Legit Medan,etc
And the last are souvenirs from Medan! Actually,souvenirs from Medan mostly are food such as: Cake Bolu from Meranti, Pancake Durian from Moratti, ''Terasi Udang'', ''Ikan Asin Pari'', ''Udang Manis'', ''Ikan Asin Hiu'', ''Udang Ebi''
