Trip to Bandung

After spending about 2 nights in Jakarta we moved to our next destination-Bandung.It is a good place for shopping.Clothes which cost rm 300 in Malaysia are sold for rm50 here.I bought a few for myself..thank god my ATM card was spoiled.

Rice with beef  soup.I had this for breakfast.Actually i noticed that soupy meals are common in Indonesia but in Malaysia it would be considered as unsual if someone is to have something hot and soupy for breakfast,for Malay i mean...but i know it is normal for Chinese in M'sia.Oh and one more thing,beansprouts will always present in soups here.Always.

This is called ice-cream potong(cut).I guess it's because it was made in a big block at first and later on cut into smaller pieces,which gives the name.I had it after the hot soup to cool myself down.It's red bean flavour and it's yummy!

After that off we go.It took about 6 hours from Jakarta to Bandung by a four-wheel drive.We reached there at noon,then did some shopping till evening.Then took a night train to Solo.

Two bored girls at the train station in Bandung...

We reached Solo in the morning.As Solo is near to Borobudur we took the chance to visit the place.

When i was in Form 5 learned bout the ancient religions in the world and one of it is Buddhism.It never crossed my mind that one day i would have the oppurtunity to visit this temple.

Erm...do u believe if i said that this temple was made using egg whites to join the pieces of  bricks together? I don't too but that was what Nana my Indonesian friend told me...

Inside every bell-like dome seen there,sits a Buddha statue.According to the locals,your wish will come true if u touch Buddha wholly with your hand through the holes.I didnt,though i had many to wish for....

                                                                        
 Whoever they are,this people must have had a strong will and high determination to complete this.Imagining myself carrying all the bricks,climb to the top of this hill and then start to arrange them together..hurm.....

This is what we were waiting for....It was really a breathtaking view to see a sunset from the top of this temple

 I have a high respect for Buddha and his teachings but im glad that i've found my Creator,alhamdulillah...
