Indonesia Trip - Day 1 (C)

After having our lunch, we headed to Bandung.

Toll..It kinda old and small compared to Malaysia :P

A lot of illegal houses for poor people..It is indeed sad to see it .. Numerous of houses like these..They even built their house nearby the electricity towers..Some of them even slept under the highway..then the place was humid, slum, dirty..

It is the most enjoyable to sleep in the van, when it is a long journey..the whole family slept except my niece..Pity her because she asked me "why you all sleeping? you really sleeping queen!" haha..Well, it is nice to sleep to avoid dizziness or headache..

However, we did not sleep throughout the whole journey..When we reached the border of Bandung, the green scenery appeared in front of our eyes..

BEAUTIFUL !! It is totally different with what i saw previously..There is a train operated surrounding the hills..It is quite high though..I guess i will be afraid to sit on it..My sis jokingly said "Last time Harry Potter took their film here" sweat..haha

In order to attract our attention, my sis suddenly said "Look, there is elephants on the hills"..Innocently, i tried to find the shadow of elephants..However, it was just a cheating..haha..so silly i am..

Later on, i was really amused by the green atmosphere..my mum said "Look, there is lamb on the hills"..This time everyone burst into laughter, no one believing her..She tried to say she never lie..but no one seriously cant believe it especially me who has been cheated once..But..what she said is indeed TRUE..pity mum..

Bandung, those houses and buildings quite westernized. Their banks also looked like a bungalow. I love their houses, very homely and comfortable..The tour guide explained that this area has been colonized by Dutch, those houses and buildings were left by them.

Finally, we reached our hotel. Nalendra Hotel (I guess 3 stars hotel). The hotel in Indonesia kind of expensive..Even 3 stars, also need apprx. RM140 per night..



Again..I need to praise Indonesian..Their working attitude very good...If you give them some tips, they even work harder..I quite satisfied with this hotel, except the shower. The water either too hot or too cold, could hard to control it..Then it doesnt have boiler to make a tea or coffee..haha..

After we put all the stuffs in the room, our tour guide brought us out for shopping !!




Due to my phone in very low battery, i only took a snapshot on one of the shop..I like this street because all the shops hav its theme..For instance, superman, spiderman, batman, King Kong and etc). The scariest thing is, the seller there will follow u anywhere to ask you buy things..Not to forget to mention, the tour guide said this street normally for local people to go..Some of them carrying stuffs to sell, some of them putting stuffs on the floor to sell, some of them also havin super small stalls to sell food..

It is so hard to cross the road..the traffic totally didnt stop. It took us so long to cross the road..Due to emergency need to buy something, we went to guardian in giant. Their medicine is CHEAP!!

Before processed to our dinner, we went to their factory outlet...In Indo, Factory outlets could be their trademark..really a lot and a lot..All the branded costume is sell in those factory outlet, and you can get almost 20-70% cheaper compared to Malaysia..

I took this in the van
