Indonesian, Out2Venture, Travels

a Weekend Trip To Semarang, Jawa Tengah (Central Java)

Heylloo…

Miss me much? haha, It has been two weeks since my last post, sorry about that, I got caught up with a weekend getaway and my daytime work.

So, Two weeks ago, on 3-5 October 2014, I was invited to a friend’s wedding in Semarang. It was my 2nd time to be in Semarang. First time, the impression was quiet strong, but little did I have memory about my previous trip. The strong impression was Semarang’s special spring rolls. You wanted to know why it leaves a strong impression? It is because its aroma!! man, it stinks so much!!

Spring Roll in Semarang, use Bamboo Shoots as one of its ingredients.

So.. Back to my trip to Semarang, man… It was quire a close call!! I almost miss my flight due to miscalculation of time duration it takes to reach Airport, luckily for me, the flight was delayed. Phew…

I was on a Garuda Indonesia’s flight from Jakarta to Semarang, the trip was about 45 minutes, I think.

I quite enjoy my trip with Garuda Indonesia, first of all, it has a spacious seating arrangement, compare to other domestic flights. I usually travels with Lion Air for many of my Domestic Trip.

After 45 minutes, I arrived in Semarang, and was greeted by people from Horizon Hotel (the hotel that provided to accommodate my friend’s wedding guests). And met with two other people who were supposed to attend that wedding as well, so new friends.

We were supposed to attend a Midodareni, but we were too late, so we headed straight to Hotel, instead. Midodareni, from what I know is a party from woman’s side before a wedding day. It is one of Javanese customs.

Then Come the food adventure….
