Where is Medan?

So, where is Medan?

It is a city in the west part of Indonesia and located in Sumatra Island and has been the capital city of North Sumatra Province.

It is near to Malaysia and Singapore. Indeed, because of its location, it is faster and easier to travel to the capital city of neighbouring countries rather than to our own capital city. For example, 55 minutes flight to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore compare to 120 minutes flight to Jakarta. As a result, people prefer to spend their holiday in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore than Jakarta.

Medan has its sister city around the world and the nearest one is Penang , Malaysia. Penang is just 45 minutes flight from Medan. Because of its location, Penang and Medan are pretty similar in term of its local culture and city structure.
