We have just returned from Bandung, Indonesia and I have been recommending this destination to all my friends and relatives. This is actually my 3rd trip there!!!! This time with my family. We had a great time so much so we are going to make this a yearly trip.

It's all shopping, shopping, shopping for me and family. Four main shopping areas are Dago, Riau, Rumah Mode (I forgot the street name, but taxi drivers will know) and Pasar Baru. Prices at the first 3 places are fixed but at Pasar Baru MUST bargain and start early like 9am.

Food is excellent here. A must try....nasi padang! If you have time, go to this two malls, Ci Walk at Cihampelas and eat the Risoles and also go to Paris Van Java mall it's very nice. Be sure to try the Martabek manis, chocolate and cheese at one of the stalls here, it's something like our Apom Balik but much better.. it's out of this world, must try! (read more...)
