...I live here for almost 4 years. The people is so friendly. And its save to travel here. For Example you can walk in these city in the midnight and you can a tour with a free lance tour guide from these city.
And if you want to travel trough West Sumatra you can travel from here. You can travel To Lake Maninjau for 1 hour, Lake Singkarak 90 minutes , To KingsPalace "Pagaruyung" about 2 hours, to Mount Singgalang and Merapi 30 minutes, to Padang about 2 hours. And if you go to medan by car you can reach it for 10 hours.
In Bukittinggi you can buy souvenir's. To Buy Some souvenirs ask some one show you to find place that cheap. There also an expensive place to buy it.Arround the city they have a good view too....

Advantages: good experience for you Disadvantages: Active Volcanoes but not erupt in near days
...This if the good mount that bukittinggi have. that you can see sunrise from here. And there you can find "Puncak Merpati" there. but it was a risk to go there. But you have a good view to volcanos lava in the mountain stomach, from there. and you can see full Bukittinggi city from up there. And you can see lake singkarak too from here. From up here yu can see Mount Singgalang and Mount Sago too. But if you go up to mount Merapi you better go up in the midnight. So you can see the sunrise. And its realy beautiful. You can see the shadows of the night dissapears. If you go to Bukittinggi i preffer you have go up there....

Advantages: You can paragliding here Disadvantages: carreful with the local
...Lake singkarak is the one of four lake in west sumatra. that not include lake kerinci that half is at west sumatra region and the other half is in jambi region. Lake Singkarak is in the side ways to Solok and the way to "Lintas Sumatra". That connect all province in Sumatra. So from Aceh to Lampung is connected by this road. And the lake have a beautiful water that you can swim here. and you can paragliding from the hill that sorrounding this lake. If you go here you'd better be carreful. So you dont miscomunicate with the locals. The transportation to and from here is available from 7.00 am to 6.00 pm. from Bukittinggi its take about 1.30 hours to go there....
