That was so professional and interesting and informative – well done 👍

Terima kasih 4 informasi. Senang sekali "Sumatran Talk Show."
Great video, sorry it took me so long to subscribe and like…. Modern techno stuff takes me a while to work out 🙄
This is so helpful! And good to know about foreign credit cards on Lion Air, they wouldn't take my Canadian credit card and this is the third time that has happened. But I've never had a problem with Wise and so I used it for the flight as well.
Oh actually one more question, my flight says I need to be at the Semarang airport 4 hours in advance for a regional flight, that can't be true is it?
baru bulan lalu dari Samosir dan Toba. Family Trip jadi tidak bisa hang out sama kalian. Maybe next time 😊👍
