I wanted to post pictures from the holiday but I think I’ll post it at Medan Daily. Anyway, I’ve just dug my blog’s archive and realized that going to Brastagi Highland during the Idul Fitri holiday has been quite a ‘tradition’ for us during the last 3 years.

Nov 2006. Family dinner at Grand Mutiara Hotel

November 2006, I went back home for a week (my last year in college) and went to Brastagi Highland with my auntie and family whom came from Jakarta, my family, and grandparents. That was my first time met up with my cousins since year 2000. We stayed in Grand Mutiara Hotel.

Oct 2007. With cousins.

October 2007, I went to Brastagi Highland with my family. I was working as a packaging designer and had a one week holiday. We stayed in Grand Mutiara Hotel again and coincidently saw my Ku-ku there.

October 2008, I went to Brastagi again with my family and stayed in Grand Mutiara Hotel again. I am a ‘free man’ now. I mean, freelancer.

Whoa, 3 years in line, same destination, same hotel. You may want to ask,”No where to go for holiday already hah?” The truth is, YES! Brastagi Highland is the nearest holiday destination from Medan (2 hours journey by car) where you can stay and overnight there. Forget about Pantai Cermin (Mirror Beach) cause it is no where near fun or relaxing for me. I wish we have other destination like Orlando golf or cleaner beach. *dream on*

While for the hotel itself, it’s because we like the room and the services there. Besides that, we get discount price (about 30%, depends) almost every time.

I wonder if I will go there again with my family during Idul Fitri holiday next year.
