2017 Makassar Trip
Around April 2017, my friends and I went to Makassar, following the school program. The plan was to go to historical and educational places in the span of 4 days in total. We were asked to make a vlog of the whole trip, and record it.
We arrived at the airport first in the morning around 7 am, whilst waiting for the plane and other things. After boarding the plane, Makassar is a 1-hour plane ride from Surabaya. The plane ride was really entertaining since the plane is mostly filled with students. After reaching Makassar, our first location was to go to "Rumah Kecapi" which is a place where master's of the musical instrument show off their skills, and we can ask several questions to them. We were there for a couple of hours, then we went to some kind of forest/garden. We walked to the location of the cave where there are several artifacts that were on the wall of the caves. That day was a rainy day which slowed the process. From the garden, half of the students went to a passion fruit factory, and half of the students went to a chocolate factory because Makassar is famous for their Passion Fruit and Chocolate production. After we finished doing stuff there, we ate dinner and then went to the hotel to sleep.
The second day, we went to a Seaweed and Chocolate Factory to watch the creation of Seaweeds. After finishing the interviews, videos, and stuff there, we went to lunch, then went to Trans Studio. Trans Studio is like an indoor theme park where we can play games and have fun. We spent around 3/4 hours in there playing the games, some of us just roamed around the mall in that period of time. After that, we went to a well-known Souvenir shop, and we can buy anything there for quite a while. After that, we went to the hotel.
The third day was quite an interesting day. Early in the morning, we had breakfast in the hotel and then went off on a 6-hour journey to somewhat the other side of Makassar, to see the production of wooden boats and take some pictures along the way. That was a really fun experience because combined, it took us half a day/ 12 hours sitting on the bus. The ride was a fun experience because we played games on the bus and had a fun experience overall. After we reached the hotel, it was around 9 pm. The last night was really fun because a lot of us did not sleep that early, and we were doing activities for hours.
The final day, we had lunch eating Coto Makassar. It was quite delicious. After that, we went to the airport, and go home to Surabaya. In this trip, I learned a lot of stuff, such as creating chocolate, seaweed, etc. I also learned that Makassar is a diverse city, with a lot of interesting stuff there. Overall it was a fun trip to go through.
