My Journey and Experiences in Padang, West Sumatra Padang is a city located in West Sumatra, one of the many islands in Indonesia. My friends and I went there for a field trip in October of 2019. We didn't only go to Padang, we went to Bukittinggi as well. We went to a lot of places including museums, restaurants, historical landmarks, but the highlight of this trip truly was our experience of staying 2 nights at the traditional Rumah Gadang . A Rumah Gadang is a traditional home for Minangkabau people. You'd think that those kinds of houses don't exist anymore... right? Well actually, people still live in these kinds of houses. These houses have dramatically curved roof structure with multi-tiered gables. Shuttered windows are built into walls incised with profuse painted floral carvings.

I grew up there, I went to school for 12 years there, I made a lot of friends there, but now, due to my dad's job promotion, my entire family and I had no choice but to move to Bandung. There are a few things about Bandung that I like more than Jakarta. For example, the weather. Jakarta is known for its extreme humidity and hot weather.
