My Hometown

My hometown is Lubuk sikaping, or well known as Pasaman. It takes about four hour journey to get there from padang. Although it is a small town, but I really enjoy living there. It is the most convinient place for me. The people are friendly, unspoiled nature, friendly weather, the society still thick with their native culture, that's all what make me proud belong of them.


There are some interesting places to visit here, one of the famous nature reserve is Rimbo Panti. This is one west of the Sumatra tourist destination that visited by foreign tourists. Beautiful nature, provide an atmosphere of relaxation for visitors. many plants and animals here. The natural hot spring also available here, it is trusted can cure many diseases, especially for skin diseases.


Because it is traversed by the equator line, in one area here we find a natural phenomenon that known as the TITIK KULMININASI phenomenon. This phenomenon occurs twice in year. It is be on mid-March and September. The gravitation of the earth and sun are same, as the consequence in the twelve o'clock at noon the shadow will disappear for a few minutes.
exactly,there are many exciting thing to see when this phenomenon occur. I prefer you to see it by your self.


Typical food of here is called by ASAM DURIAN. It's a kind of curry dish but using a mixture of durian as a marinade, and a little bit spicy. Becauseit’s quite a lot of people here whose livelihoods by gardening so other typical foods as keepshake from here are Pisang salai,salak, banana, and nuts.

Lubuk Sikaping has its own deep impression for people who have visited. This is evidenced from several people who have been living here for some time, they confess they really miss to live there again. The sense of living there is totally different from another place .
