Things I find fascinating in Bandung.

1. Shopping. Yup as most of you have heard, Bandung is a shopping heaven. Good that we were there on weekdays. the stores were far than crowded, thus there were no scenes of me grabbing a shirt from somebody else's hands..hehe. It's almost like the factory outlet in San Marcos, Texas only that the stores are smaller, by this road called Ir. H Juanda (or previously called Dago) and they are not really next to each other. you got to walk a bit to the next one. we only went in and shop at the first few outlets we walked in. Firstly because we ran out of Rupiahs, of course there's this magic plastic called ct card...but nope,..and secondly it was too risky to visit other outlets. the possibility for me to buy stuff just because they are cheap is HUGE! well, who won't buy a RM20 Nike shirt? or a RM30 cool Gap shirt. it's still cheap even after u convert it to US$. *sigh*

2. Jeans shops at Cihampelas St..wont tell much, but you can get a RM60 Burberry's jeans, boot cut, loose fit. the material is so soft that i put it on the very nx day. it's not so much abt the brand, it's the quality. i wish i had bought more. ;)

3. Ice-Cream at Cihampelas walk. I picked coned turquoise-blue colored icecream, combined with blueberry flavor...(i forgot what flavor was that blue one)...ohh so yummy. reminds me of Amy's in Austin. they are so good we ate it in the winter! at night..i still want them..help!

4. fresh milk in Lembang. at Cafe Sumur. the place was big and the menu revolves around milk and some local food. strawberry milk, mocha milk, milk + honey and eggs, etc etc etc...

5. tangkuban perahu. Subhanallah, awesome view.

6. sundanese food. yum yum. will post the food pictures later. we basically took photos of each meal we had..haha

7. the people: very determined, consistent, tak tahu malu utk mencari rezeki, and persuasive. wont go away until you buy! i find it annoying, but admirable at the same time. if they were given the same opportunity we had in malaysia..i'm sure they would be on the top. we malaysians, malays to be precise..are taking things for granted..dont you think?

8. entertainment and food in the bus! no need to stop at the grocery store to get mineral water, or bread or fruits to be munched while on the road. very convenient! and this kid sang a pop song that i could actually sing along. if u enjoy it..gotta give sm money of course ;)

9. jagung bakar pedas..sedap! in malaysia only got the buttered one..there in bandung theyve got 3 flavors: hot, sweet, and salty. innovative.

10. taman safari in Puncak. i actually enjoyed looking at the animals in the wild rather than in the zoo. they seem more healthy..hehe. white tiger was there..i enjoyed seeing the bulls, and the llama..

that's all i guess. hungry! i need food..later peeps..
