Sorry for the late update. Quite busy reading other blogs and finding some materials for my next reserarch. Also I have a lot of project last November. Spring cleaning, painting my house, then there's also my convocation.
Well back to Bandung story. The first day itself we went to Pasar Baru. Since we stayed at Hotel Guntur, we only had to cross a concrete bridge, then passing some streetshops and walla...before we knew it we reached Pasar Baru. Lots and lots of things to buy.I bought handbags, kebaya sulam and also telekung (prayer cloth?). My husband was the shopping King. He couldn't resist the temptation so he ended up buying from top to botton: Jacket, new wallet, sunglasses and lots more. My advice is if you want to go to Pasar Baru, start as early as 8 am. There are 7 storeys of endless shops. Then avoid weekends especially Sunday. It was so crowded. To get out of the area was so streneous. We had to walk along the narrow roadside, with cars passing less than 6 inches beside us! At times like that, it is best if you keep your wallet at the front side of your pants, rather than at the back.
We went back to Guntur Hotel, took a cab and headed straight to Dago Street to Karmila Hotel. Karmila hotel is conveniently located at Dago Street, which have lots and lots of factory outlets. It is also near to KFC and Pizza Hut, also a minimart nearby, less than 50 m.
Karmila Hotel was so so lah...We chosed it just for the sake of its location. It is less comfy than Guntur. Cheaper but still clean. RP320,000 per night or equal to 40 USD. We slept for a while. We noticed that in Indonesia that time seems to move slowly..maybe because of the difference of 1 hour between Sabah and Indonesia. At approximately 2.30 pm we headed straight to Riau Street. Its nearby, so we went on foot, heading to Factory outlet called Secret. At Secret we ate Batagor, a delicious local dish.,short form of Baso Tahu Goreng or tofu. I bought my father's jacket and also 2 blouse for me. Then we went to other FOS nearby. There's Heritage, Cascade and For Men...We walked along different route otw back to Dago street seeing another side of Bandung. I'll update next time on our experience in Dago street and also on angkotan..with pictures as well
So long.
