Reasons WHY I want to live in Bandung

• the weather

Due to its topology, climate in Bandung is relatively cooler throughout the year than most of Indonesian cities. The average annual rainfall ranges from 1,000 milimetres in the middle and the southeast region to 3,500 milimetres in the north of the city. The wet season conforms with other Indonesian regions, around November to April. The average temperature is 22.6°C, cooler than most Indonesian cities. Info from: bandung tourism

• the fresh produce

the soil is very fertile due to the sulphur from the infamous inactive volcano- Tangkuban Parahu. Read more here.

Tangkuban Parahu

In my previous trip, I had the opportunity to pick Brazilian black cherries. We also got a few dozen boxes of strawberries and raspberries from the street vendors in Tangkuban Parahu. Yummeh!!!

* Selama ni tak tau pun cherries can grow like that, tee hee hee

• the scenic view

2nd pic ni technically kat Puncak, otw to Jakarta,

tp basically Bandung punye scenery camni gak :p

• shopping haven / heaven

Malls ada, factory outlets, jgn cite. Bekepuk! Ada one street esp for designer jeans lg. Tak pecaya? Cekidaut. And designs baju ikut season. Last time I went tgh krazee on caftan like muslimah designs. Ni bukan yg gaudy and bling2 hokay, tp very tasteful and simple. I loike x infinity. Paham2 je lah kalau PSKS tepaksa menjalankan tanggungjawab membeli-belah kan?

• architecture

Org Bandung yg mana middle to upper class tu, mmg tasteful. Rumah mmg besar bapak tp takde la mcm taste datin2. Ada influence Dutch sbb dulu dijelajah mereka kan? Wud also explain why ramai org bandung putih2 gebu, awoooommmzzZZZzz. Anyway, rumah sana tak kire yg lama atau modern, mmg ada nilai2 estetika yg memikat jiwa saya. Labour pulak damn cheap, wadoooh, and dia punya ukiran tahap pergh! Looking into investing in properties there ;)

• delicious food

Ni kalau cite sampai 2013 tak habis. Fresh produce mmg easily available, so the food is always oh so fresh, alhamdulillah. Bile dok Bandung nanti, kene rajin2 exercise (shopping pun kire exercise la kan?), kalau tidak, takut takde yg kenal balik KL nanti, hik hik hik

Sate Balibul- Kambing BAwah LIma BULan

Gurami aka Talapia Goreng

Sambal Colek- Condiment WAJIB

*Oh, ada park/hangout nama Taman Ice Cream ok!!! tak dpt gi sbb tutup masa tu, dang it!

* Ada gak Cimory Yoghurt- they actually milk their own cows at the barn bawah kedai ok!!!

*Oh, and every man's aphrodisiac- susu kuda liar... I tak sudi try :p

• Bandung is a city of flowers

Girls and flowers... enough said :)

Sama mcm fruits, flowers senang nak tumbuh due to the soil and weather. Kuasa Allah swt, alhamdulillah

• Proximity to Jakarta

On a good day, Bandung is 2 hours away from Jakarta- where I left my heart. Kalau dok Jakarta, macet 24 jam, so Bandung is the next best solution, tee hee hee. Wiken2 bole visit sanak sodara, ahaks. AND Bandung is just a 2-hour flight away from my shweethearts in KL. Sudi-sudilah visit PSKS di sana nanti. InsyaAllah kite jjcp besama di Indonesia, amin.

Oh, and i forgot to mention yg kat Bandung ada Magnum Cappucino hokay! Kat Jakarta pun takde lg. Tp hr tu tak sompek mkn sbb bz shopping, ngeheheh

So now you know why I love Bandung (^-^) v
