Bandung Java, Indonesia

... left!!!! and on my way to Bogor.... So I really don't know what happenned but the important thing is that I will get in Bogor before dark so that if the hotel I have in mind is booked I can find another one!!!! The ride is fine and arrive in Bogor on time and get dropped off at the hotel. I find the hotel is definitely overpriced but again because of time of day I just take the room and will decide tomorrow if I will stay another night here.

... its classes, workshop and performances which all seem to incorporate the bamboo instruments which are part of the Sundanese culture. The performance was excellent. We also all had a chance to try out the bamboo instrument and the audience became musiciens directed by the founder's son as the Maestro. It was quite interesting and fun. At 5:30 I left and could not find a ...

The van picked me up closer to 9:30 and then had to pick up others so by the time we left it must have been around 10 am and arrived in Bandung around 2. I had asked to be dropped off at the Hotel Kedaton but I felt that 455,000 was a bit steep for the room they showed me. It looked more like a 325,000 room and also there was no wifi. I left my bags ...

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

... run up the meter. It could happen???? Headed out tomorrow for 3 days in Maribaya--hot springs, volcano, waterfalls. Should have good pics, but no Internet until I return to Bandung on 23 March. Bought my ticket yesterday to Singapore on Air Asia for 24 March. It was $24 one way from Bandung or $55 from Jakarta, so I think I'll stay up here in the hill county and enjoy th cooler weather, the volcano, the waterfalls, and the hot springs until then.

... as we've already seen lot. The station was nearby so it was easy enough to catch a bemo there and the driver left us in the bottom of the volcano. The ticket to volcano cost 35 000rp and it was about 5-7kms up there. The locals were already haunting us with their ridiculous prices for a ride up. We couldnt agree on a price (they were asking more for 5km drive up than our 1,5hour bemo drive from the town!) and we just started walking, it's not the first time we use our legs ...

Wayang Windu - 45 min outside Bandung

... vials of Japanese Encephalitis I'm now packing with me into the field (with syringes). After feeding Misnan some A&W and a stop for a six pack of beer / bag of spicy dried peas we hit the highway. Misnan is a party guy! I get the Van Halen playing loud and there we go - 110 km/h down the shoulder. My job is to look out for the cops (and pay the "fine" when we get stopped), his job is to keep us on the way to Wayang Windu. It's hot outside and ...

... for one to be here for us (if we wanted). So mom tried her out for a few days before we came and said that she is better than most help around the area. And she asked if we wanted to retain her services. It will cost $350,000 rupiah per month. (USD $35). She asked if we thought that was fair, meaning that she was wondering if we thought that was too much. For that amount of money, this lady, Mbak Ni, works 7 days a week for us from 7 am until 4pm.
