I was so sleepy as we left the hotel at 4:30AM today and I was working till around 2:30AM... Just with about an hour and a half of sleep, we headed to the airport.
It was the first time ever for me to fly with Garuda Indonesia, but we safely made it to Padang of West Sumatra.
coastline of Padang City
At Padang, we tried to go through many residential areas on the coastline and asked people about tsunamis. Just as I heard at BMG and Bandung, people were saying they were afraid of the prediction that a large tsunami will attack on the 23rd.
I knew this was BS, but it's also true that any large earthquake can hit this nation, so of course a large one can hit on the 23rd, or perhaps today!
they were in the middle of the Islamic festival - Idul Adha
killing beasts for sacrifice...
having Padang food was the only recreation!
We flew back to Jakarta and worked till late in the night. This is my last night at Jakarta, and I hope I had enough to make a report... I hope...
flying with Garuda Indonesia... phew... made it back safely!
