... there around 12:15. I tell the lady that I have a reservation for 1:00 and give her my name. She replys that the bus is not yet there and she will call me when it has arrived. I wait and meet a few people at the station. Around 12:55 I go and ask if the bus has arrived. She tells me that it will be another 15 to 20 minutes. Around 1:10 I ask again at which time she tells me that my name is not on the reservation list and the bus is full ...

... don't need the tourist office to do that, I can just get a taxi myself!!! Being that the mosque is just beside I decide to visit it. It is quite impressive in size and has some nice stain glass. Quite interesting to see the life and day to day activity going on just under the arches of the mosque.

On to Bandung

Learned about the earthquake on Sumatra via email from the US. We didn't feel a thing and the locals don't complain to their guests, I guess.

We;re off to Bandung today. Very slow day, waiting for our ride. The route takes us thru Puncak Pass, a resort area for the locals. Its elevation makes it refreshing, but the traffic is a horror. On weekends it is so bad that commercial transport, like our mini bus, has to bypas it and take a long way around.

Introspection on Copping an Attitude

... English and they improved my Bahasa Indonesian, and I had a terrific time with my new friends. When the bill came, they refused to let me pay my share, telling me that I was their invited guest. I learned during my stay on Lombok that in the Koran it says something like "Your guest is king in your home", and that "A visitor is a gift from Allah". My conscious effort to not cop an attitude expanded my field of vision to see the good in ...

After the first night though I was rather on the edge coz the toile wasnt working well, bed was awful, room was claustrophobically small. Gypsylife was getting to my nerves but we ended up changing the room and it helped the acceptance a lot. Bandung is really not our fave locations in Indonesia. Dirty streets (at least in our neighborhood.. ), lot of ...

Kami memilih jalur yang ke Gambung terlebih dulu. Kami melalui jalan yang lebih kecil, tetapi masih bagus, dengan perpaduan antara gunung dan lembah yang sama-sama hijau di sekeliling kami. Sepuluh kilometer kemudian, kami tiba di sebuah resort yang letaknya di kaki Gunung Tilu, yakni Argapuri ...
