Bandung Java, Indonesia

Today, I go to the reception to extend my stay for another night and am told that the hotel is fully booked for tonight!!!! I really don't want to change hotels as that will take too much time so I decide that I will leave today for Bogor. I ask at the receptionist for a door to door AC minivan and they make my reservation to leave at 1pm. There is really not enough time to do more visiting so I decide to walk to a mall close to the hotel ...

... and as it gets dark at 6 pm I was a little concerned. Also I could not find anyone that could speak english but I finally got on a angkot and hoped that the driver understood where I wanted to go. The only word that seemed to be understood by both was "station" (pronounced in french). It is now dark, and I am slightly worried. We stop and the driver just says ...

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.

... know. That's what we're often wondering, how few people actually walk small distances in many places! After, I dont know, 1-2kms upwards we were on the ticket counter for the active volcano but took a drive from there up to a non-active volcano persuaded by locals. It was crowded up and lots of vendors too. The crater was wonderful and so was the scenery. We walked halfway of the surrounding of the crater to see on the other side where there is another one. There were ...

... beers are tasting really good. I switched over to Paul Oakenfold then he really starts be-bopping and getting the pedal to the metal. Great Guy. I really don't know what to expect. We pass up through the tea plantation and I insist on going to the rig site first before base camp. We arrive and find everything the way it should be. I meet Andrew Smith, the job supervisor. Between him and I there is only one other "Bulay" on the entire job ...

... Sunday.) We feel like we're taking advantage of her, but she is happy to make that much money, and given how cheap food is, she can take care of her expenses with this money. But she definitely isn't going to be sending her kids to college on this money. Also, the other night, some of Farida's relatives were in Cipanas. So we took them out to eat in town at the street market (pasar). For 10 people we ate a bunch of Satay (delicious), followed by two kinds of Martabak ...
