Ever since I was at elementary school, the teacher always told that Pontianak is lying on the Equator. Last week I had a chance to visit this Equator City. This my second visit actually. My first visit to Pontianak I didn't spend enough time, just a very short visit before going to Sanggau.
It was a nice stayed in Pontianak, the foods are delicious. Just walk around Pattimura street, you can find a lot of Pontianak foods: pisang goreng Pontianak (fried banana), Kwee Tiaw, Aloe Vera, Talas (Taro) and many more. If you like to find Malaysian products (mostly food) just enter the Kaisar Supermarket. Still on Pattimura street, there is an area called 'PSP market'. At PSP market, you can find a lot of Kalimantan (Borneo)/ Dayak souvenir .... From Borneo Batik to gems (blue saphire, turquise, cat's eye and many more) - unfortunately I don't know much about all these gems.
Tourism objects around Pontianak are 'rumah Betang', 'rumah Melayu', Taman Sungai Kapuas, Kelenteng and 'equatorial monument/ tugu khatulistiwa'.
Rumah Betang is a traditional Dayak's house. It was made of 2 storeys, at the upper side, there is a hall that are used to sleep people from 1 neighbourhood.... unbelievable!
Just rent a car for 1 day and it is easier to explore all tourism place in Pontianak.
