Where to? To wonderful Bandung, Indonesia
When is it? 29Apr to 1May (Backdated entry)
This Bandung trip is family trip. So my parents and sister fly to Kuala Lumpur from Miri via Malaysian Airlines (MAS). Stay overnight in Kuala Lumpur, before next day flight to Bandung via Air Asia (Everyone can fly). Most of visitor who fly to Bandung the purpose is Shopping 'til drop. There is few places you can visit in Bandung, I don't have to mentioned which factory outlet you should go :P
Our first day in Bandung greeted by heavy rain, took one hour ++ to get to our hotel (Summer Hills Hotel). The traffic you can tell "macet" everywhere. I'd booked our stay via Booking.com. The accommodation price is quite reasonable, if happened you want to stay away from the noisy this recommended place to stay. There is no bar and no street/resto foods nearby. Any transportation you may get the receptions at the hotel to arrange for you. The hotel is abit uphill the google map won't tell you. The journey may took your half an hour if there is no traffic,
If you want to accessible to anywhere you may stay in town.

The very second day our stay, sun shine through. We planned tour to the famous Tangkuban Perahu. The precautions when you are there, you will be surrounded and approached by this so call "licensed tour guide". They will show you their identity card, to make sure they are genuine one. It was like one person one tour guide
(Do you thinks you need all of them?). Hardly for you to shoosh them away *
annoyed*. They will help you take photo, show you where is the best spot to take photo etc. Please don't take it for granted, soon they will transform themselves into vendor. They started to sell things to you. You will be ask to open a price and negotiate. There is no peaceful place in Tangkuban Perahu where you can enjoy the scenery of the place.
There is a mini museum in Tangkuban, free entrance. We do not go to the hot spring, its quite a distance. I don't want to trouble my mum with uneven trek. after the annoyed session in Tangkuban, we went and checked the tea plantation. Missed the tea harvest season, so we enjoyed how is it like in the tea plantation.

...then the driver bring us to the famous "Coffee Luwak" producer. The genuine one, with govt license.
...then after we wanted to go to Strawberry farm, but there is no strawberry, so I ask the driver to bring us to where is the history of Bandung started. We went to Taman Hutan Raya Ir. H. Djuanda.
