February Business Trip - Malang

Whoooaaa... long time not posting and I just updated the previous post.. heheh

Actually a lotty happened but will tell you case by case :p

So for this post I will tell you my business trip to Malang. Yea that was also my first time to visited Malang.

For Indonesian people 'Malang' is  familiar for it's popular food, named Bakso Malang ( Malang Meatball ) or Bakso Ngalam. They spelled it backwards because long time ago at colonial era the Malang people like to backward the word as a secret languange. They didn't want their secret conversation overheard by the colonies.

Something unique about Malang airport is it was the only one airport in Indonesia which owned by the local government (CMIIW) also the shortest airport for landing and take off (I dont know what's it called) in Indonesia. My client told me there were several accidents at that airport. Like the plane was overlapping when landing or slipped.

Well beside that Malang has a loot of interesting place. Like Batu, Pulau Sempu or you can start here if you want to hike Bromo Mountain. Also heritage place like Candi Moko and other temples. Soo which one I visited??
NONE! =))))

It was raining when I visited Malang so I decided just spent time at the city.
The view is beautiful and weather are cold. Surrounded by Arjuna mount and (again I forget the name :p). Friends of mine there are some places you should visit in Malang. 1st is Bakso President this place is pretty popular because when I want to ate the line was pretty long. But for the taste just a so so for me. And the 2nd is Toko Oen. Old fashioned ice cream shop. They said the place wasn't so different with the old time. I feel so old when I entered this resto. Hehehe.

And Malang in the early morning would  be great place to have run in but I didnt bring my running shoes. So no sport activity at this city.

There is one place that I really want to visit in Malang is Sempu Island. So probably will come back to this peaceful and lovely city :)

Cheers.
