Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia Trip - Day 4

Today we begin our trip with walked around in the Jakarta City. Jakarta is a very huge city and it divided to Central, West, south, north and east Jakarta.

Today we walked around at the National Monument which located at the central of Jakarta.

The National Monument or "Monas" is one of the monuments built during the Sukarno era and It stands for the people's determination to achieve freedom.

After that, we wanted to go the Amusement Park at Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, Jakarta but it was too many people then we decided to go to seaworld to see shark.

Besides shark, the main attraction here is you can see Dugong which is hardly to see one in Malaysia.

and also Piranha

Finally today we going to eat food which we are familar with - Pizza Hut for lunch.

I not really like to eat Pizza but today I feel like it was damn nice to eat.

We went to shopping mall again after lunch. We went to the Mangga Dua and Mangga Dua Square and they are the biggest shopping Mall in Jakarta.

It was Sunday but seem like these shopping mall was not many people.

After a long tired shopping, we went for a Spa. 250000 rupiah for a Spa and I still feel tired after the Spa.

For our last dinner at Indonesia, it was bad and 8 people sharing a small fish.

Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia Trip - Day 3

After 2 days in Bandung, today we are going back to Jarkata. Before we back to Jakarta, we are going to Safari which located at Cisarua, Bogor Indonesia, about 3 hours from Bandung .


On our way to the 'Taman Safari', we had pass by Puncak. Puncak located at a cold mountain and you can find a very large area of tea garden.

People from Jakarta like to spend their weekend and on public holidays from the heat and busy streets of Jakarta at Puncak.

When we about to reach Safari Park, there are people selling banana and carrot. You can used these banana and carrot to feed animals at the Safari Park.

Animals from all continents roam freely in this 35-hectare park.

Taman safari is a drive through zoo and amusement park and the animals here will come to you for foods.

But you can't really feed all the animals here or you will become the food for some animals.

We visited the 'Taman Mini Indonesia Indah' when we reach Jakarta at evening.


Taman Mini Indonesia Indah was built to be the showcase of Indonesia.

You can see the various traditional houses of the different provinces in Indonesia like Bali and Sumatera.

After visited the 'Taman Mini Indonesia Indah', we went to another shopping at the Centre of Jakarta.

For dinner, our tour guide told us we will having seafood.

But the seafood dinner is only have fish, prawn and sotong and I was expecting more than that. Our tour guide really can't be trusted and this is how our day 3 trip ended with cheap seafood for dinner at Jakarta.

Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia Trip - Day 2

After a long tired 1st day, I was hoping that the 2nd day will be better. However we still need to continue to sit in the van without air-con for long hours.

We had visited the Mt. Tangkuban Perahu which is the Bandung's most famous tourist volcano.

The volcano is still alive and you can see the smoke is still coming out.

Then we heading to another volcano side but before we can reach there, we need to go for a jungle tracking

The water here is really hot and you can boiled egg with this temperature.

You not only can boiled the egg, you also can eat the egg but it taste bit weired.

We go for lunch after visited the volcano

The food here is quite nice and they also have 'satay' here.

After our stomach is full, we walk around the restaurant and I like it here because of it peaceful environment.

In the afternoon, we went to shopping again at some famous shopping street at Bandung like Cibaduyut street, Dago street and Cihampelas street.

We shop for the whole afternoon and then dinner at this 'Sindang Reret' restaurant

After dinner meaning is the end of day 2 at Bandung and we will back to Jakarta tomorrow.

Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia Trip - Day 1

The first day at Indonesia was tired, angry and boring. We arrive at the Soekarno-Hatta Airport at Jakarta around 12.00pm.


Our tour guide was there already but our van still on the way.

This is our tour guide and we called her 'Titi'. She just keep saying the van is on the way but we had wait for the van for more than 1 hour.

After stuck in the Airport for more than 1 hour. Finally our van came and we straight away went to lunch at this Restaurant called 'Rumah Gadang' which serving the famous 'masakan padang' at Indonesia.

This 'masakan padang' is a common food at Indonesia. However it not really suite my taste and some of the dishes i even don't know what is it.

After lunch, we should go to Safari but it was too late already so we straight away go to Bandung. The journey to Bandung was damn suffer when we have to sit in a small van with bad traffic and raining.

After suffered in the van for six hours, Finally we reach at Bandung. The 1st thing we did when we reach there is shopping.

If you like to shopping, Bandung is the place for you because there are many places for you to shop and the price also cheaper than Malaysia.

After tired shopping, then we went to dinner at 'Dapur Sangkuriang' which is quite famous in Bandung.

I like the enviroment and also the 'Sunda' music here

The food also is much more better that the lunch we had at 'Rumah Gadang'. After dinner we were then heading to hotel and this was the end of our day 1 trip.
