I didn't expect to find Indonesia

The first time i went to malang at East Java to continue study. I never know about malang before until i got my scholarship there at university of Muhammadiyah Malang. I went to malang from Bukittinggi by bus, it took 4 days 3 nights. I never get experience to go to a city that outside Sumatra island, i don't know how i got live there for 4 years until i got my bachelor degree. The journey was fun i depart from Bukittinggi at 08.00AM, from Bukittinggi our bus Will stop for rest at Solok then we continue our journey until Palembang to take rest. From Palembang we continue to Lampung and we stop at Bakauheni Lampung port we continue with ship to Tandjung Periok port. After that we continue riding bus to Jakarta for resting. During the journey i got to see beautiful nature that i never know before, that such breathaking scenary especially when we cross the sea in the early hours of the morning i got to see sunrise. After resting at Jakarta we continue to Bogor for transit. I had to change the bus heading to Malang. We depart to Bogor to Malang at 11.00AM we Will stop by at Rumah makan Taman Sari Tuban for resting. We got there at 05.00AM and i got experience eating breakfast while see sunrise at seashore, thats really fantastic. Then we continue our journey to Malang, i got to Malang at 13.00PM at the bus terminal Arjosari. From Arjosari to my university dormitory take time 20 minutes by public transportation. That amazing journey, next day i went to stroll Malang. Malang is a big city, but i got to go around my university and we continue to Jatim Park. After that we continue to Batu city.
