I know Bandung was like SOoooOoo long ago, but I have been busy (stuffing my face with food). Very busy. I have a life, okay... beyond blogging, twittering, fb-ing. And oh yeah, I work. Hard.
In June, we went to Bandung with the Moes. Bandung --- the answer to our dream for branded goods at affordable prices. Bandung is the land of factory outlets!
Although, I must admit that not everything you see there would be something you like, but there is A LOT of branded stuff going CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. Example: Original Burberry polo tee for RM30. No kidding. The real thing. Guess jeans for RM50. Ralph Lauren polo tee for RM30. Juicy Couture sweatpants for RM40.
Mostly real stuff, provided you shop at reputable outlets. I.e: Heritage, Rumah Mode. We also saw the Secret, which looked real promising on our way back, no chance to pop in and spend money there.
Now, the reason why I say that you may not like all things that you see is because what's for sale there depends on whatever brand/season they are trying to clear off. Someone bought a Coach bag there, but we could not find any Coach bags. My dad got a shitload of Lacoste polo tees, but when I went... I could not spot even one.
The best itinerary for Bandung is one packed with shopping. If you must, you can take a half-day tour up to the volcanic peaks. But other than that... Bandung is for hardcore shopping. Spend a long full day on your feet, scurrying in and out of changing rooms.
The bigger outlets are incredibly comfortable. A lot of places to sit and rest your tired legs. Clean restrooms. Nice ambient. Chic cafes. Water features. Air conditioning. Rumah Mode even resembles a resort! Impressive.
Ok, enough rambling... now to the pictures:
Standard breakfast fare. McDees at LCCT
The Husein Sastranegara International Airport in Bandung , Indonesia
Thank you Air Asia, for dirt cheap flights!
Mr Cabman was amazed we could speak BM. :)
Ze hotel safety box, where we deposited our passports.
The Moes. They very camera shy. So no pictures.
To the rooms!
Note the stuff of the bed! How I wish!
Camwhoring alone because no one would join me :(
Funky nail colour and tights
Pop Mie looks tempting
Nasi Padang, the staple food
HOT HOT HOT chillies. Not for me though!
The group checking in and checking out the massage centre next door. The largest one in Bandung - Zen. It was very impressive and so darn cheap! RM45 or so for two hours of sheer bliss.
Hotel Sukajadi along the Sukajadi road.
Nice pool, but we were not there for a dip. The temperature in Bandung is slightly cold. Like Genting on a hot day! Nice.
At the cafe in Rumah Mode
A shopping centre near the hotel - PARIS VAN JAVA! What a name. I must repeat again... Paris Van Java. Hahaha. There was a Manchester United restaurant there. Vic wanted to go vandalise the walls or something. Typical.
Essential hand sanitizers!
Grub is so important to keep you energised when grabbing clothes. Grab first, later decide whether you want it or not. Damn kiasu! Hahaha.
