A Wonderful Morning in Bandung

They called Bandung as Paris van Java

I love Bandung very much

I spent almost five years during my university years in Bandung

Nowadays, Bandung is different

But still, I left my heart in Bandung

My last visit to Bandung was so unforgettable

We went to Masjid Raya in the central of Bandung

It's a big mosque with green plastics carpets at the front

So everybody can played soccer there

The mosque also located near the historical building of Gedung Merdeka

Where the first Asian African Conference were held in 1955

And this year, they celebrated the 60 years of this conference

And I was very excited to visit this historical place

I took some awesome pictures

And I never think this visit would turned out to be wonderful.

Cheers, Didi

Beautiful Mosque

Other side of the field, you can see the "Bandung" Word 

Red Bright Bus Stop

International Globe - all the nations those joined the conference are stated at the monument

Waiting

I love you, Bandung

Cute Trash Bins

Proud of you Bandung, Proud of you, Indonesia

Train Trip to Cirebon

It's my second Train Trip to Cirebon and I never get boring of it.

I love the morning feeling to catch the train

And the ticket purchased was very simple nowadays.

I really enjoyed the train trip especially when accompanied by my two besties.

It's like Bali Reunion

The itinerary almost similar with my last trip.

First stop should be nasi jamblang, but today we chose Nasi Jamblang Bu Nur instead of Mang Dul

People usually has nasi jamblang for breakfast

The special thing about this meal is small portion of rice was wrapped by dried teak leaves 

And it made the rice smells good

And it had range of side dishes to accompany the rice

After full enough, we went straight to Trusmi for batik hunting

The Cirebon Famous Batik Pattern is called Mega Mendung

And we emptied our wallet only in three shops

Girls and shopping ? Not weird, huh?

After that Empal Gentong Amarta for lunch

We thought we were full after nasi jamblang for breakfast

But after one empal asem for three of us, we decide that we're not so full anymore

And nothing can stop us for ordered each three menus for take away

On our way back to the city, we stopped by at Toko Manisan Shinta

Cirebon has known by its jambal roti/salted fish and cheese ranginang.

Ranginang is crackers made by dried rice

And this shop are famous with wide variety of crackers

Before we're heading back to Jakarta we tried our luck to taste the Famous Bubur Sop Mang Kapi

Lucky us it's opened already

Bubur sop is like chicken porridge with soup that taste like soto 

Since of our delayed train which we blessed 

We also can spend quality time at Starbucks at Railway Station

It's only One Day, But It's Fun, Depends on who you travel with

Cheers, Didi
