Unforgettable Night at Pontianak

I want to share about night of my weekend that I spent with my work partner who came from Thailand. He came for the first time to Indonesia, especially to the Pontianak. We were just down the street with motorcycles. Not to be confused for the primary purpose for visiting the Pontianak, because we would not complete in Pontianak until we've been coming to Park Square Kapuas. Although malls, cafes, and various other entertainment centers are many in the Pontianak, this place still looks cool. Recreation Park is located at Jalan Rahadi Usman, in front of the Mayor's Office of Pontianak. Taman Alun Kapuas is a beautiful and comfortable place to relax while enjoying views of the Kapuas River with its activities. The park is open every day starting from noon till late at night. Not using ticket, its free. At night, while standing on the edge of the fence in park, we enjoy the beauty of the Kapuas River. We also can enjoy the exoticism of this region while sitting on the stairs located on the banks of the river (waterfront) by dipping a foot into the Kapuas River. On weekends or at other holiday times, there are many visitors here, especially in Saturday night. Some peoples sitting togther to talk and laugh, they enjoy the charm of this area, see the lights coming from people's homes across the river that emit bright light or the lights from the boat. Many people take some pictures. The atmosphere more life and be romantic night when see the spotlight from The Fery ship ( crossing transportation) .

Then, we enjoyed the other side of the park by renting a boat to surround the river. In park area we try some stunt game that provides a packet of cigarettes or a bottle of syrup as a gift. On certain days are held some tour agenda, such as kite festivals, painting exhibitions, exhibition of ornamental plants, stage entertainment, and cheap market. After two hours at Taman Alun Kapuas we plan to fill the stomach with a culinary tour in Jalan Gajah Mada Pontianak, it’s a favorite culinary in the evening with an affordable price. Every night in Gajah Mada street, especially Saturday night, crowded with visitors who hang out in coffee shops whose numbers dozens.

Chinatown area (Jalan Gajah Mada Pontianak) filled with warkop (coffee shop) business, which stand in a shop building (ruko) yard when the shop do not open at night. The famouse special menu is a fried banana with nipah banana mixed with flour spread with butter sugar apple (srikaya jam), which is now known up to Jakarta. In addition we also can enjoy a relaxing evening with food and drink typical of chinesse food, my favorite fodd is fish porridge.

The next trip is to eat durian at the central market area, its really amazing and very enjoyable. Crowded with many visitors want to relax with family or friends to eat durian. My Thailand friend feeling very impressed with tonight, Pontianak so beautiful at night. There are many other wonderful evening we can enjoy in Pontianak. One night later, I will visit Pondok Serasan located on the banks of the Kapuas river or watch a carbide cannon at Idul Fitri night. Thank you and don’t forget to wait the next story of my trip.
