what i think of bandung

yup, i'm still having the bandung fever! anyway, this is what i think of this place.

transportation :

it's convenient, for the local people. but not to tourists. the angkut2 are a lot, you can find them anywhere and you can ride on them anywhere..waima tengah berhenti tunggu traffic light pun boleh naik. but, different color of angkut2 goes to different destination and bandung's road are, erm..how should i say..not good?? plus, the traffic jam, are way worse than kuching! its hard to find a really wide space for car to drive through (coz they like to squeeze in selagi ada ruang, everyone are impatient). so, for tourists, its better to rent a car to move around. you can get 400k-450k rupiah per day for a car like avanza.

food:

this is heaven! they have the best sambal in the world (walaupun makan sampai nangis2) and there are cheap too! anyone who are planning to come to bandung, i suggest you go and have lunch at cimbeluit! the food are awesome (you might find it creepy at first,haha!), cheap and the surrounding are nice! in bandung (or probably indonesia), they have this one drink that they sell like mineral water, as if it is the official drink of bandung.when you order, its either called "teh botol" and "fruit tea". if i had extra money, i would have brought a box of them home. kartika sari is also a must go, the brownies are delicious!

shopping:

this is actually the other name of bandung.haha! pasar baru is heaven for kaftan, telekung, textile and sewaktu dengannya. factory outlets are mostly at Dago and you can find them along the road next to each other.you can find brands like guess, levis and sekutu2 nya with a much cheaper price! rumah mode is one of the famous FO that malaysians go.as for paris van java, its a nice place to take pictures.nevertheless, there was one shopping mall called ciwalk, not far from our hotel that we like to hang around and bought a lot of bags.haha!

people:

like i said in my entry before, sinetron are sooo overated! most of the people that we met were very nice. abg pulsa was very helpful, makcik angkut2 pasar baru was way too kind, akak jual baju kt pasar baru was very helpful and friendly. i even make friends with ibuk ira who lives at sukajadi, ex-guru besar and now, went shopping anywhere her childrens brought her.haha!not to forget, our driver was very good.ocen, jasamu dikenang!but there are also some bad people (i will never forget that middle finger)..in short,just be careful wherever you are.

bandung is kinda sejuk, so you wont feel the heat. don't be surprise if you get sunburnt at the end of the day..hehe!this place is just nice if you are going for a 3 days trip. overall, the trip was awesome!
