Sangereng? Or Just a Bad Dream?

okay so let's talk about sangereng. or whatever this place is. i just checked and it's 28.94 degrees celsius there right now, feels like 32.78, so hope you like that kind of thing. sticky and humid, basically. the pressure's 1012, humidity 71%-perfect if you enjoy feeling like you're swimming in soup. not my thing, but whatever.

anyway, trying to figure out where this sangereng even is. pulled up a map because i'm lost in more ways than one.

see? just some coordinates floating in the void. no roads, no buildings, just green blobs and maybe a river. someone told me it could be central sulawesi or west java, but honestly? it's a shot in the dark.

so here’s the deal: sangereng doesn’t exist. at least not on paper. the records are empty. maybe it’s a ghost town? or maybe someone spelled it wrong. the closest things they found were semarang, south tangerang, and sanger in texas.

semarang sounds right-phonetically, at least. it’s on java’s north coast, 558 km east of jakarta. if you get bored, jakarta, surabaya, surakarta, and yogya are just a short drive away. convenient, i guess. south tangerang is near jakarta too, borders tangerang and the big city. sanger, texas? that’s in denton county, near dallas. not exactly the same vibe.

someone told me that semarang’s geography is a mess-narrow floodplains and hills. 40% of it’s lowland and prone to floods from rivers like kali garang. so pack rubber boots if you’re staying. the vague sangereng entry? 20-35°C, which is just... hot. no specifics on anything else.

population-wise, they’re throwing numbers around. semarang’s not listed, but south tangerang has 1.6 million, sanger, texas has 8,839. the vague one says 1.64 million, but again, who knows.

no famous food. no landmarks. no notable people. just empty fields and maybe a confused goat. distinctive features? semarang has hills and flood risks. sanger, texas is growing. nothing sets sangereng apart except the name.

so yeah. sangereng. might be a typo. might be a fictional place. i’m tired, my feet hurt, and the weather sucks. if you find it, let me know. otherwise, maybe just go to semarang. or south tangerang. or avoid the whole mess.
