Bandung was a great place i would said, at least weather colder than malaysia. Booking in Hotel Horison. We though of getting Teksi to our hostel. Kinda impress with their customer services, have transport provided fetch us straight from airport to hotel (although in a poor country), wifi all around hotel, buffey for breakfast, massage spa 3 swim pool (wave, kids, adult).

This is the transportation hotel provided us

Hotel Horison Lobby

Really thumb up for Indonesia people, although they are born in poor country, but never give up of life, selling news paper, singing, selling souvenir, in the middle of a traffic con jested town, for money, and is not by beggar! never like some chocolate skin in m'sia.

After dropping our luggage in room, & craving for lunch. We went to a dead volcano, hot spring water. 2hour transport from hotel. Really far. But the air is cold, colder than Genting Highland. A lot of tourist there. Local people doing business by selling strawberry, snaks, horse riding, souvenir shop etc. Well, we are the the source of MONEY for them. They see us, their eye shinning, face smiling, cause they saw a mobile wallet.

This is the name of the Volcano

Here is where we are located, up on the mountain

1830m high, cold air, nice view, warm heart local people

This is the beginning part ...

Middle part...

Bottom part...

This is the bone of the mountain

There are some souvenir shop along the top hill bone, till the end of the mountain part

Departure hall of Bandung Airport

The flight back to KLIA

The land of Wilayah Persekutuan, meaning i going to start work tomorrow

p/s: Well, this trip was totally unforgetable, thanks to the maid also, i have learn some indo-language. At least, the trip make me realize that, how hard the life working as a maid in singapore cannot compare the hardneship in their home town. Money really is a important thing in human life, because of money, family & love come second.
