Bandung, Indonesia (Part II)

I always like to start my post with a photo of sunrise that shows the new beginning of a day. Below is the sunrise photo of the City of Bandung.


I was staying somewhere near to Cihampelas Walk which is located in the center of the city. It's surrounded by shopping malls, factory outlets, food outlets, bar, etc.



Besides all the shopping, I went for the popular Indonesian traditional musical instrument performance, the Angklung located at Saung Angklung Udjo. The music instruments used are made of bamboos.


Other than music performance, there are also traditional dances such as Tari Topeng (Mask Dances), Wayang Golek demonstration (puppet show) and much more.


You will be able to get some souvenirs here also.



As for the food, nothing much to mention about as they are quite similar to any other surrounding countries like Malaysia and Singapore. I'll just show you a few photos of the food that I think you may not be able to find it in your country.



Lastly, I would like to end this with a few photos of the people in Bandung, Indonesia.





And of course... the sunset of the city of Bandung.

Bandung, Indonesia

Let's start this off with a beautiful sunrise view from my hotel room...


When most of the people heard of Bandung, Indonesia, they will definitely think of shopping ! There are countless of factory outlets located all over the places in Bandung. I'm not really an enthusiastic shopper so I'll show you the other part of Bandung; the greener side of Bandung. Let me bring you to Tangkuban Perahu, a dormant volcano 30 km north of the city. It was last erupted in 1959 so it's safe :D





Don't think that you are able to escape from shopping. You can still do shopping on the volcano if you are really a shopping addict. You can get souvenirs here also.




You can see a lot of green paddy fields surrounding the volcano.



I'll show you the city side of Bandung in my next post. Stay tune !
