Center Point of Indonesia

Last week, I was sent to Sulawesi Island by the office to prepare its new branch in Makassar, together with the event team who held a seminar here. Makassar, previously known as Ujung Pandang with its famous national hero Sultan Hasanuddin is indeed a nice and friendly city which is claimed as the city that located nearest to the center point of Indonesia's territory, despite the fact that the local government is planning to build one of Indonesia's mega project; Center Point of Indonesia, which will include office and business center, transit hotel and golf course to make Makassar as the second biggest metropolitan city in Indonesia after Jakarta within years ahead.

After done with some work things on the first day we arrived, my co-workers and I went to trans studio theme park and played in a very short time before we should go back to the hotel. Here are some pictures a colleague took.


Our hotel, also as the event's venue was located exactly at Losari beach, so the next morning we took a little walk. Oh I am not ready posing here! :D
And then there was my playing time, because then the rest was work, work and work!

Remembering back when I was on a business trip to Yogyakarta, it was still a very pleasant place that I really love. But now it already turns out to be a city of ash, affected by the Eruption of Mount Merapi, where most of the evacuated people from the slope area were located in public buildings in Yogyakarta. Now it has also warned at real risk from the continuing eruptions. I am so sad, because I have so many good friends and their family live there. :( Please keep praying for us..
