September 2016 I had trip to Bengkulu City, Bengkulu for attending my friends wedding. I went there by bus on Friday and arrived back in Padang on Monday morning. A short trip actually but it was fun, a very tight time to escape my self from the busy office hour :D...
As it's located in the coast of Sumatera Island, this city has beautiful beach called Pantai Panjang (Long Beach), there is also a zoo but I didn't t go there.

Besides, in this city you can find several historical heritages, such as Ford Marlborogh - a ford wich is built by the British Colonization in Sumatera, a childhood home of Fatmawati Soekarno - the very first First Lady of the Republic of Indonesia,
Tugu Pers Bengkulu, Exile Home for Ir. Soekarno while he was in the sequestration in the days of the struggle for Indonesian Independence, Thomas Pane Monument, and many others. Oh, you also will find
taboot almost in all intersection here, since
taboot (or it called
tabuik in West Sumatera) is the landmark of the city.
