Last wednesday, I took a trip to Sekayu, a city lies west of Palembang. The trip supposed to be hunting for site, but of course I took it merely for vacational purpose =D. Sekayu is the furthest site of our planned network.
During the trip there, on the car, the driver and SITAC personnel kept telling me when we passed by our site. "Here is site XXXXX, the ground clearing is already done", they said. And I still amazed to see the sites on the real world, for all this time I always stare at dots on map and dealing with technical-analytical data only.
Sekayu is a small city, but kind of elite actually. The city is full of huge and beautiful governmental complex. The soccer stadium and aquatic center are superb. The swimming pool is ITB-alike (raised up from the ground level), with jumping tower for diving (also like ITB). The one that make the complex more beautiful than ITB is the podium for viewer circling the pool. ITB's pool doesn't have viewer podium.
Around maghrib time, the situation was serene. Everything seems to move so slowly, unlike the situation in Palembang. Everybody was walking, eating meatballs, cycling, and gossiping in front of their homes.
It always nice to see new place, can wait to see the others.
