Our curiousity is building so we took a look at the official city website for Siantar. That might have been a good idea before we bought our plane tickets, but too much info can ruin an adventure!
Though there is some variability in the census numbers, about 240,000 people live in Siantar. Judging by the website, there's some stores and stadiums and parks, so it should be interesting. Many photos are included, showing buildings and all the mayors of all time for the city. They don't mention traffic on the roads, but this is probably the Chamber of Commerce perspective of the city. Just the fact that they have a city website reflects an interest in the internet and communication. Here is the website for you to visit (thank goodness for the Google "translate to English" feature!):

An interesting fact: the city has more churches than mosques.
The website includes a "fact book" from 2004 which features an incredible level of detail of subjects like traffic accidents, driver's licenses issued, pieces of mail sent, even the number of homes with telephones. Since everything on TV is summer reruns, this could make for interesting (and free) entertainment.
