February Business Trip - Makassar

I am so blessed being an auditor. Obviously in this office give me a lot of chance to visit cities in Indonesia which I never came.

This month I visit two cities, Makassar and Malang. Last year I already came to Makassar. Makassar is the southest city in Sulawesi. They have port which become the main trade in Sulawesi Island. Previously named Ujung Pandang but now alreafy changes become Makassar.

Airport in Makassar is the best airport in my opinion. It look like Changi Airport from the outside. The airport also clean and look modern.

I stayed at Aston Hotel which near to Fort Rotterdam. Fortress built by to protect the city when the water from sea going up. Many historical things happened in this city. From Aston Hotel you can walk by not to far around 10 minute or less. Or by becak the common traditional vehicle in Indonesia. But becak in Makassar different with becak in Java. The size of becak in here more smaller than in Java. After visiting the fort I planned to have run or some exercise. Well since the pool was closed for private event and also felt bored to run at treadmills, I decided to run at the park beside the hotel.
Not doing much at this city but will come back to Makassar at April and plan to go to Tanjung Bira.

Fancy to join :)
