Well, I just love Bali so much, and we fell in love with the culture, people, the food. Everything was just amazing. Medan is a modern metropolis and like other Asian cities, it can be very busy and suffer from heavy traffic.
Before Medan became a sprawling city, it was a trading and seafaring town under Islamic Malay leadership during its early days.
It was in the 19th century when the city's commercial potential was uncovered. Because of plantation agriculture, Medan transformed from a small town to the prosperous city that it is today. The influence of the Dutch and all other cultures that have made their mark in the city are clearly imprinted on the metropolis, as exemplified by the attractions and architectural landmarks found in Medan. One example is the Maimoon Palace, which was built in by the Sultan of Deli.
This grand attraction is a room structure built with Malay, Mogul and Italian influences. Out of the 30 rooms, only the main room is accessible to the public. This is where tourists can find the opulent inaugural throne. Meanwhile, the back wing of the palace is occupied by the members of the family of the current Sultan. The landmark is named after the Chinese-Indonesian merchant who used to live there.
Like the Maimoon Palace, the most remarkable thing about the mansion is its architecture, which is a fusion of Victorian and Chinese styles. Foodies will love Medan as the many ethnic groups that reside in the city contribute to the unique dining scene. Medan is known for food tourism, mainly because there is no shortage of delicious dishes here.
Those with a taste for nostalgia will love the establishment, as every bite of each meal transports the diner into an earlier time. Originally named Jangkie after the owner's name , it has been around since the time of the Dutch occupation; in fact, Dutch officials often went here for a cup of coffee.

The city comes alive when the sun goes down, as there are many activities that keep the people up and about until the early hours. Nightlife would not be complete without drinking, and this Indonesian city has many options for those looking for a drink or two.
Wine lovers will not be disappointed with establishments such as Cava Lounge and The Vintage Wine Shop found at the Grand Angkasa Hotel Lobby ; the former also has a wide selection of cocktails and is most remarkable for its design and ambiance, while the latter has over wine options. Those who want to get local information can drop by here, since this is a favourite of expats. The establishment, which features live bands and DJs, has a large screen that plays sports channels.
