Here we go! And let me start from :

The Palace has become a popular tourist destination in the city, not solely because of its historical heritage statues, but also because of its unique INTERIOR DESIGN of the palace, mixing the elements of MALAY cultural heritage, ISLAM , SPANISH , INDIAN , and ITALIAN style.


2. NAMU SIRA SIRA

 

 This is what we called "ARUM JERAM"

 

3. LAKE TOBA (danau toba)

 

	Lake Toba (Indonesian : Danau Toba) is a LAKE and SUPERVOLCANO. The lake is 100 kilometres long, 30 kilometres wide, and up to 505 meters (1,666 ft) deep. Located in the middle of the northern part of the INDONESIA ISLANDS of SUMATRA with a surface elevation of about 900 metres (2,953 ft. It is the largest LAKE in INDONEISA and the largest VOLCANIC LAKE in the world. Lake Toba is the site of a massive supervolcanic eruption estimated at VEI 8 that occurred 69,000 to 77,000 years ago, representing a climate-changing event. It is the largest known explosive eruption on in the last 25 million years. According to the TOBA CATASTHROPE THEO, it had global consequences for human populations: it killed most humans living at that time and is believed to have created a POPULATION BOTTLENECK in central east Africa and India, which affects the genetic make up of the human world-wide population to the present. This hypothesis is not widely accepted because evidence is lacking for a decline or extinction of other animals, including species that are sensitive to changes in the environment. It has been accepted that the eruption of Toba led to a VOLCANIC WINTER with a worldwide decrease in temperature between 3 to 5 °C (5.4 to 9.0 °F), and up to 15 °C (27 °F) in higher latitudes. Additional studies in Lake Malawi in East Africa show significant amounts of ash being deposited from the Toba eruptions, even at that great distance, but little indication of a significant climatic effect in East Africa.

	4. BUKIT LAWANG
	Bukit Lawang is a small tourist village at the BANK of Bahorok River in NORTH SUMATRA province of INDONESIA. Situated approximately 86 km north-west of MEDAN, Bukit Lawang is known for the largest ANIMAL SANCTUARY of SUMATRAN ORANG UTAN (around 5,000 orangutans occupy the area), and also the main access point to the GUNUNG LEUSER NATIONAL PARK from the east side. Bukit Lawang rehabilitation center for orangutans was founded in 1973. The main purpose is to preserve the decreasing number of orangutan population due to hunting, trading and DEFORESTATION. A flash flood hit Bukit Lawang on 2 November 2003. The disaster destroyed the local tourist resorts and had a devastating impact to the local tourism industry in the area. Around 400 houses, 3 mosques, 8 bridges, 280 kiosks and food stalls, 35 hotels and guest houses were destroyed by the flood, including 239 people (5 of them were tourists) were killed and around 1,400 locals lost their homes  Local authorities and an environmental NGO attributed it to ILLEGAL LOGGING. Thanks to several international cooperation agencies, the site was rebuilt and re-opened again in July 2004
	WILD ORANGUTANS NEAR BUKIT LAWANG   THE JUNGLE NEAR BUKIT LAWANG
	ORANG UTAN (IN BUKIT LAWANG) Compared with the Bornean orangutan, the Sumatran orangutan tends to be more FRUGIVOROUS and especially INSECTIVOROUS. Preferred fruits include FIGS and JACKFRUITS. It will also eat BIRD EGGS and small VERTEBRATES.  Sumatran orangutans spend far less time feeding on the inner bark of trees. Wild Sumatran orangutans in the Suaq Balimbing SWAMP have been observed USING TOOLS. An orangutan will break off a tree branch that is about a foot long, snap off the twigs and fray one end. It then will use the stick to dig in tree holes for TERMITES. They will also use the stick to poke a bee's nest wall, move it around and catch the honey. In addition, orangutans use tools to eat fruit. When the fruit of the Neesia tree ripens, its hard, ridged husk softens until it falls open. Inside are SEEDS that the orangutans enjoy eating, but they are surrounded by fiberglass-like hairs that are painful if eaten. A Neesia-eating orangutan will select a five-inch stick, strip off its bark, and then carefully collect the hairs with it. Once the fruit is safe, the ape will eat the seeds using the stick or its fingers. Although similar swamps can be found in Borneo, wild Bornean orangutans have not been seen using these types of tools. NHNZ filmed the Sumatran orangutan for its show Wild Asia: In the Realm of the Red Ape; it showed one of them using a simple tool, a twig, to pry food from difficult places. There is also a sequence of an animal using a large leaf as an umbrella in a tropical rainstorm. The Sumatran orangutan is also more arboreal than its Bornean cousin; this could be because of the presence of large predators like the SUMATRAN TIGER. It moves through the trees by quadrumanous locomotion and SEMIBRACHIATION.
