Who doesnt know this drink,almost all people drink coffee. And even many people are addicted to coffee. Well aceh has typical coffee and is very tasty. Many tourist who come to Aceh just to taste Aceh coffee, then they never forget to buy some to be brought back to their hometown. In the urban square is very rarely seen pedestrians because all people have a vehicle, they prefer to ride the vehicle because the weather in this city is very hot so it will feel tiring if walking. ![WhatsApp Image 2018-02-01 at 21.13.34.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmS2JwrCpkPHyyZxqBLc75Z6jvUYShjzgdPbrL6GoHbCyu/WhatsApp%20Image%202018-02-01%20at%2021.13.34.jpeg) many people in meulaboh who work as a seller.
