The article Flight to Makassar shows us arriving at the city of Makassar airport late in the afternoon. The following afternoon, Saturday 4th July 2013 we started exploring the city.
We started by having a look at its main university, the Universitas (university of) Hasanuddin.
Like the airport, the university is named after a prominent 17th century ruler of the kingdom of Goa of which Makassar, also known as Ujung Pandang is the main port and centre of commerce.
Our host is a senior lecturer and professor here. However she was also attached to the Akademi Pengajian Melayu (Malay Studies Akademi) at Universiti Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
She showed us around a few faculties including that of literature of which she is a main member.
However what caught my eye the most is the medical faculty which runs its own hospital.
This is because we've just learned that there are quite a number of Malaysians studying at Hassanuddin university and most if not all is in medicine.
