Bandung (Part 3)

So basically we ate and shopped and ate and shopped! But we did a spot of sight-seeing when we went to check out the volcano, Tangkuban Perahu (Upturned Boat). It started to get colder and colder as we drove there and smellier and smellier! Hee!

It was nice and foggy and a great change from factory outlets!

There were horses for hire but we declined!

Lots of small stores too.


Throughout our trip, we stayed at Novotel and it was an enjoyable stay! We really liked the buffet breakfast every morning and best of all, they somewhat change the food items so you dun have to eat the same stuff everyday!

Our really comfy bed!

View of Bandung city from our hotel window, we were staying at the highest floor!

Following are some street snaps I took…

The green mini buses you see below are called angkot and you see loads of them on the street. If you are walking on the street, dun be surprised to have many of them honk at you and ask if you want to board. There are no bus numbers but instead various areas and locations are printed on the bus itself.

Many of the locals drive motorcycles as the traffic can get so jammed! So they have two vehicles, normally a MPV and a motorcyle. When they are rushing to get to somewhere, they drive a motorcycle. When the whole family is going out, an MPV!

Pastor Kong was gonna preach during the weekend and many asked if we would be staying till then =)

Saw this cool overhead bridge!

Graffiti on a school wall

Saw lots of these flags being displayed – think cos Indonesia’s National Day was just over.

Very fascinated by this regal looking boutique hotel at Dago

We had a fun getaway! =)))
