Salam Bandung ;)

Alhamdulillah diberi peluang dan masa untuk bermusafir ke Bandung. Satu pengalaman yang mungkin cukup membuka mata dan minda. Jumpa bermacam ragam manusia. Rasanye the last time i was away from Malaysia was on 2011 kot. That was Myanmar. Another interesting place to go, if you guys have time. Well the best part about Bandung, personally for me, the culture. The shopping and whatnot dekat Malaysia pun ada. Cuma in terms of price, yes Bandung way cheaper dan berkualiti. You can actually tawar menawar till you drop. I'm not a shopaholic.

Bandung itself is under the West Java province and since in Indonesia they have about 33 provinces. Pictures, tak banyak, our camera can last for three days without a single charge, nampak sangat bukan avid-photo. I guess, Bandung more or less lebih kurang Jakarta. You can see, how the people trying to make ends meet with whatever way they could think. Dekat luar shopping malls, mmg lots of people jual keychain and all these souvenirs. Memang super murah. Foods, bubur ayam is the most common menu for breakfast and apart from that ada tauhu bakar, mee bakso itu biasa ja. Tapi makanan sunda is the best. And i think, merokok within 'dapur memasak' is common thing to do. Errrrr

You can see small kids, jalan2 thru out traffic jual barang dan minta sedekah. Dekat Malaysia bukan tak de, ada tp 'susah' nak jumpa. Dekat Bandung terlalu banyak. I guess, kesusahan hidup membuat mereka lebih matang dalam melayari kehidupan. I saw this old pakcik tolak beca, separuh 'mati' tengok dia tak larat. But what to do, if given options dia pun tak mahu kot. Tapi itulah kehidupan.

Dekat Bandung, you can see various version of 'fake' Factory Outlet. Haha. Tipah tertipu pun ada jugak. Tak mcm FOS dkt malaysia. Dekat sini, sdn bhd punye version factory outlet. Another interesting place to visit adalah gunung berapi nye. I guess one thing you can never get rid off when datang Bandung, penjual2 memang akan pester you to buy their stuff. Even adik aku yang tak de duit tu pun, die suruh beli jugak.

One thing i learn, selalu bersyukur. Saya sayang Malaysia more :) At least bangun pagi, tak perlu fikir ada duit ke tak hari ni. Ada makanan atau tidak. Ada kerja atau tidak. Kerja pejabat pun kadang2 kita bising, kena buat kerja yang 'ends meet' barulah kita tahu penat dan letihnya kan. Selalu bersyukur pasti bahagia :)
