Medan

The city of Medan, about a 14 hour car ride and 1 hour MAF flight from Calang, is the closest "big" city to us. It has things like malls, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. so our bags are usually pretty full on our way home.



Jason loves es kacang (literally translated: bean ice). It is kind of like a snow cone Asian style which he orders, despite the name, without beans (or cream corn.) It still has plenty of jelly things, palm hearts, etc. though. First pix is of Jason eating es kacang in Medan and the second one is at the stalls in Penang. Even if it doesn't sound appealing, you have to admit it looks impressive!
