Tangentially, Sumatra and western Sumatra in particular are pretty interesting. They have possibly the best curry in Indonesia (beef rendang), different linguistic groups such as the Minangkabau[0], and just northwest off the coast they have one of the best natural surf breaks in the world.[1] A flooded volcano caldera to the north was a major point on the hippy trail in the 1970s[2], and one of the most impressive taxidermy museums on earth lies in Medan.[3] Critical in the historic interchange of ideas between Arabia, South and East Asia which formed the uniquely Indo-Chinese basis for Southeast Asian history, elsewhere on Sumatra they still have unexcavated ancient cities surpassing the scale of Angkor Wat.
