My family and I went for a vacation after quite a while we've been craving, planning, postponing, canceling, delaying it..and at last ..pheww :) Anyway, the three of us went a 5 days trip to Jakarta-Bandung last month. Well.. yeah it's kinda hectic and tiring since the time is limited yet so many places to go to. But thanks to our tourist guide which really helpful during the sight seeing.
We took a morning 2hrs flight to Bandung from LCCT. The weather was cooling, windy and clowdy with no sign of rain about to fall. Perhaps of the higher altitude. First think in mind there was...hungry...I need fooooodddd!
We're taken to Kampung Daun,where the rich n famous are believe to dine there all the time...wahhh.The food was okay. Less similar than what we normally have back in Malaysia. It's just the scenery that I really adore at. So, refreshing..peace and very cosy. We can hangout as long as we want like nobody's business.
Later we head straight to Jakarta. Capital city of Indonesia. Development are pretty much alike. We're complaining about traffic jams and crowded. And we would be bless with it. Cause you dont have any idea of how serious are their congestions..human and vehicles. And it worsen during 'libur'..or peak hours which when everybody on off day. We take a peek of here and there, grab some souveniers from the 'Hard Rock Cafe', a dinner of 'Nasi Mandi' at an Arab restaurant and a dooze off at the end of the day.
The next day we went to Puncak, a high land in between Jakarta and Bandung. Slightly colder than Bandung itself.
Where Taman Safari and Tangkuban Parahu situated at. In order to go there was by passing thru housing area which built back to back with small two way path unfortunately just fit for 2 cars and any bigger might as well bump into the houses on the left and right. The safari tour was really fun as we sort of interact with the animal in a very close view. Got to feed, pat and even self picture with them. 
Tangkuban Parahu was a volcano pit last erupted in the 50's which still producing hot air smell sulphur! If only the damaged bumpy road were being upgraded as it's a great place especially for the tourist. A big bazaar is cramped with people of all kind selling,bargaining for souveniers to grab. But watch out,once we've recognized as an 'outsider'..then bamm! The price will be tremendously outrageous!
Our last day is spent at Bandung. The congested city imposing minimalist kinda hotel built to cater lifestyle. The nightlife there were so alive especially during weekend. You can hear people here and there gather around by your car window as the traffic light's red singing songs and given some pennies for the 'show'. And most of them were just students looking for fun and money was a bonus! And I know, here we'll be arrested for annoying other people and being uncivilised. A thing that really amazed me was how the people there drived vehicles here and there. Making a left and right turning, stopping , u-turn was really a breathtaking moment each time. Everybody were an expert. It made me wonder of what the heck were the rules being created for?! And the best part was, nobody got furious and none accident occured! Amazing..
Bandung is famous with factory outlet stores. It's everywhere in the city. It's like shopping heaven for people who love to shop! The sky is the the limit. We grab few things for us and some for friends back home. Not to overdoing it..trying to avoid tax at the airport..ahaakks.
We had dinner at the famous Paris Van Java just to feel the happening nightlife by the local enjoying their food with loud music, jamming pub in an open air crammed in one place.
The next day was time to fly home. It was a pleasent holiday for us. And we wish to do it again to other places perhaps in the future..which yup..lots of planning and postponing will take in place again..but it was fun..really! :)
