Paris of Java " Shop Shop Shop :-D " - Bandung

%fs4This ts a nice city about 1H30 mins or more from Jakarta Traffic permitting with the new highway from Jakarta to bandung. It`s a very nice city with alot cooler weather than Jakarta which is refreshing. Also it`s know as the Paris of Java and surely believe that Bandung made me a shopperholic hahaha Dago Street is name never to be forgot when shopping there as there is many factory outlets to choose from. One thing that I didn`t like was all the one way roads which gave me abit of hard time but you`ll get your way around there the more you drive around there.%f*%s*

Ciwidey
Ciwidey - Bandung

I was lucky enough to visit Kawah Putih in Ciwidey which is about 1 hours drive or even 2 hours from Bandung depends on traffic. The road is very beautiful and the scenary is very nice as you`ll be driving up some mountains there to get to Kawah Putih. Also there is alot of Strawberry farms among the rice fields and the strawberry`s in my book is a must when visiting this area. Also it`s much cool than Bandung when at Kawah Putih but it`s really beauitul as it`s a crater ontop of the mountain and the colour of the water in the crater is apple green because of the Sulphur.
