When mak told us bout the plan, I..err WE jumped with joy! "Yep, we are going to Bandung," said Mak.
And the prep went on and on...
Passport? Checked!
Baju? Tudung? Seluar? Checked,checked,checked!
Jakarta, here I come!
huHU...we boarded Garuda Airways,the service was great~ Great food (erm, even the nasik goreng was nice), charming air hostess~ then we touched down Jakarta (Soekarno_Hatta Airport) at 9.10 am (M'sia time), 8,10 (I'sia time).-We saved one hour!
There we met Pak Ed,the cute n very helpful tourist guard!hehe...we were taken straight to Bandung...The first thing I noticed about Jakarta was the calm weather...it was nice...very relaxing...quite different from the one that we've always had in beloved Msia..what I meant was it was sunny but accompanied with breezy air~ later i realized that that might be bcoz they still preserve their trees...lots and lots of trees along the way to Bandung.. the 2 n half hours seemed so short bcoz of my enthusiastic mood i guess..snap,snap,snap pictures here n there!hehe...
Then we reached Bandung.We were told there were millions of ppl live in Bandung (not sure the accurate number,sorry).Can u imagine?phew~ But the width of the roads were smaller than that we saw in Jakarta. i wud say Bandung is like Malacca for Malaysia, well sort of..cuz it's one of the most famous place to visit in Indonesia. I could see the signboards read "Bandung bandar fesyen". Owh!My heart beated!!!heehee!shopping spree~ hehe.at left and right of the road, there were many sellers/hawkers with their tricyle (is that the name?well..u know what I mean,gerai but on bicyle look alike)..selling Mee Bakso/Baso, Mie Ayam, Lele and etc...nyum2..i really wanted to try those but the hygienic factors thingy..so i didn't although they looked real guuud~
First stop: Pasar Baru (like Pekan Rabu, Kedah- but more happening!)
Owh god!!!Rambang mata!Juling mata!seeing the clothes. name it, cotton blouse?telekung?tudung?baju kawen?baju tunang?baju nikah?pisang salai?hehe...I wud really suggest those who are planning to get married to buy your persalinan, HERE, Sriously..owh, the fabric~ the shiny lil 'maniks' on the cloth..it's beautiful!man, they are creative!!!!
Second Stop:Tangkuban Parahu
The beautiful scenery. The volcano that last active in 1970s. The sulphuric smell was caused by the volcano. Breezy!Nice to have your photo shoot here...hehe..Then, they have street selling handicrafts/ souvenirs... You can buy shirts, ponchos, i even bought bracelet with gud price!
Third Stop: Factory Outlets
