Sometimes it is really needed to escape from reality. Doing the
same thing every day is boring isnt it? Going another places can boost my mood.
Alhamdulillaah I got the chance to go out from daily routines last week. Although
I did it with my office partner I pretty thankful anyway. It was an office
yearly outing, this time was Bandung, and the most excited thing was, it was
totally free! Yeay!
14 hours was spent on train to Bandung that almost drive us
crazy, but it was fun. I knew it from the beginning Iam not interested that
much in shopping so I asked my friend in Bandung to drag me away from the group
itinerary. I wanted to see the real Bandung, something that dont exist in
Surabaya.
In general, the itinerary was going to Trans Studio (The
biggest indoor rides in Indonesia), Cihampeulas (shopping street), Kawah Putih
(White Crater), Paris Van Java (Bandung shopping mall icon), Cibaduyut (shopping
anything made of leather), Jalan Riau (Factory outlets and Distros), and Pasar
Baru (place for bargains). See? Lots of shopping place! I need more than that.
Alhamdulillah, I really thank to my friend in Bandung who
spent time to accompany me to go to interesting places in Bandung. And horray,
he took me to a stargazing place! Named Punclut and Moko. This is what I need. Counting
stars on clear night. It was so cold at that place. We ate dinner while
starring at the night sky. I ate Jengkol for the first time! Guess what? I
enjoyed it, it was delicious! haha. And I also tried Bandrex (a mix of water,
ginger, and milk) and Bajigur (I dont know what this drink made of).
Over all, I loved the trip. I like the fresh air, the water,
the food, the drink, the places, and the people of Bandung. Travelling makes me
learn so many things. Give me new spirit, inspiration, and motivation. I heart you Banduung. Thank you
my Lord. Alhamdulillaaah.
Because a journey always means a lot for the tired soul.
“A man go abroad to
see the beauty of others. I see the beauty of Bandung by its people. We’re
different but thats cool isnt it? To be different but unite. I love Indonesia.”
