BandungWe agree that Bandung is famous among teenagers who have been infected by shopaholic virus when we discuss this capital city of West Java province. Shopping festival, I really love it. Moreover if I can buy fashion good which has excelent quality in a great deal of money. Jacket, shoes, bag, leggin, hat, belt, accessories, and etc. can be found in Bandung. One thing which makes Bandung is different with another city is the unique fashion good which always be a trend setter in fashion magazine!
On Saturday, August 29 2009 I went to Gambir station from Senopati by Blue Bird Taxi which only c
osted me IDR. 33.000. On a few minutes, my legs force me to queue and buy Parahyangan Executive Class Train ticket for IDR. 45.000. Luckyly, there were only few passengers and not crowded at all as usual. "Hmmm... maybe because it's Saturday" I guess.

Luckyly, there were only few passengers and not crowded at all as usual. "Hmmm... maybe because it's Saturday" I guess.Based on the ticket, the train would depart at 13.30 and arrived at 16.30. While I was enjoying the beautiful scenery dished up by Parahyangan, I telephoned my aunt (Javanese : Bude) "Bude Atik I'm on the way to Bandung. I'm curious on some shopping stage, would you pick me up and then we can continue to shop please? Because Bandung is your city, it means Bude Atik have to threat me... Hehehe :D". She always becomes my female angel ready sincerely to welcome me!
"Darling, welcome welcome to Bandung" said my aunt when I arrived. 
Bandung Indah Plaza "BIP" at Dago was the first place visited by us. I was really fascinated and joyful! The condition was not hot like in Jakarta even I walked along the street. There were a lot of factory outlets providing fashion good on my 
right and left side. But because I had zero experience visiting Bandung, my aunt just suggested me to visit BIP. I didn't know which shop or factory outlet that would provide you best product quality and not to men
tion best price. Some of my friends who are expericed shopping in Bandung told me that I can get an excelent fashion product with a very cheap price! We broke fasting at Dunkin Doughnat. Yummy.. I love chocolate-mints taste and chocolate-nuts doughnats. We have to break fasting with something sweet, not to mention Bandung girls were so sweet too... Hihihi XD.. X8 counter became my only place to buy 2 soft-black jackets for my lovely young brothers. I only knew X8 because I had ever bought it for a birthday present.

I only knew X8 because I had ever bought it for a birthday present.On Sunday, I visited my grandfather's graveyard located at Cimahi and prayed for him for about an hour. My female angel and I continued going to Setiabudi and Ciwalk "Cihampelas Walk". Setiabudi and Ciwalk were at the street line. There was Rumah Mode at Setiabudi, but unfortunately I couldn't have eyes glancing there. Next journey, it's a must for me to visit Rumah Mode. We moved down to Ciwalk. We walked along the street. The fashion shops (called Distro) and factory outlets were spreaded. Wherever we turned our face, we would only see people moving inside and outside the shops. It's the best place to drain our money in minimum expense, but we got an excelent quality!
Based on my observation Ciwalk also had a clustered shopping area (the pictures above) which was still being constructed and rearranged. I cann't wait for shopping festival.

We ended our journey at 15.00 and moved to Bandung Station. My aunt had bought me Argo Gedhe Executive Class Train ticket IDR. 60.000. When breakfasting time came, We bought my favourite meals, Hoka Hoka Bento, at the station. Chocolate Koori Konyaku, Ekkado, and Bento Special 1 became my favourite menu. Delicious! The train would picked me up at 18.30 and brought me back to Jakarta at 21.30. I want to say million thanks because Bude Atik had threated me very nice and not to mention paid all my expenses..! Hehehe :P. See you on my next journey to Bandung after Idul Fitri!!
