Bandung:
We woke up at 6.45am, took our bfast in the hotel (luxurious spread -from Japanese, to kimchis, to bacons, to nasi goreng - Jason enjoyed it all :P), and then at 8.10am, shoot straight to Bandung, about 2 hrs drive from Jakarta. (see the map)

It was quite a narrow and winding way up to the mountain. We were going to volcano top. Upon reaching there, the weather was a bit cool... but it was nice..minus the smell...

This, is the famous Gunung Tangkuban Perahu (The upside down boat mountain).
The volcano has not erupted since the 60s... but it still does have some gases and smoke coming out from it... thus, it is still considered unsafe & dangerous to go down..anyway, the place kinda stink because of the sulphur... (toilet smell :P).


And so, after lingering there for about another half an hour, we decided to come down and make our way down... for lunch...Pak Tamin was finding for a nice place to eat.. and so he brought us to Rumah makan Suri Sunda. Sundanese food. I was impressed with the image of the restaurant.. very nice, cooling, lots of plants...

Inside the restaurant...

At the gardens...

Jason's nasi timbal (rice steamed & wrapped in banana leave.. something like how they cook in the bamboo).

After that, we made our way to my aunt's factory, pick her up and went for dinner...For dinner, she brought us to the famous nasi padang. It's basically rice, with lots of food around..We were too hungry that we didn't have time to take pics.. :PBut the fish head lemak was coolness!..Then, we proceed back to the hotel and zzZzzz.. preparing for the next day's event... :P
