Bandung travelog - Day 1

WARNING!!!


This will be long travelog entry ok....


Semua orang suka travel rite, if you ask me? yup i sangat suka berjalan2 nie.. it's one of my bucket list, i nak travel around the world k.. (later i share with korang my bucket list k, promise in next entry ..lies)heheh :). ok few month ago, i plan with my friend some short vacation, so we decide nak pergi bandung or Paris Van Java.., since all of us baru dapat bonus rite, so it's time to shopping babe.. so i cepat2 goggle kat internet if have flight ticket yang cheap2 kan.. so belek punya belek.. dpt gak flight ticket murah2.. we got price sorang pergi balik RM400 yer (murah ker?).. for 5d4n k. then i google kat agoda if have any promotion room kat bandung, i found this hotel Pop Hotel Bandung.. we got room one night with the price per night RM75, super duper cheap rite...hehe (jap lagi nad review pasal interior hotel k..we go one by one k..). so after all preparation and everything.. start la our travel journey.. 


ok, kitaorang decide nak gi on 31st January 2012 untill 4th February 2012, our official transport to bandung..of coz la Air asia, we took flight pukul 6.30 pagi ko.. punya la nak sampai awal kan.. macam dah tak sempat2, but before we depart, there something happen kat immigration k, actually my friend bawak wife dia,and wife dia lupa that paspport nyer kurang dari 6 month, so smp immigration jer.. they stop his wife to enter,so pe lagi.. panik la kami.. dah risau dah, but dengan cepat we got a solution, my friend decide to postpone his flight to 3pm on that day, and both of them cepat2 gi immigration putrajaya and renew the passport. me n my hubby? we have to get inside our 6.30am flight.. no choice la.. but promise to meet them kat bandung malam nanti. 


so our flight took around 2hours 5 minutes, but our flight that morning, a lil bit delay k, so we depart around 7am..dalam 2 jam tu kami menikmati permandangan yang sangat cantik, pemandangan pagi yang indah dari langit...it's really beautiful... 

beautiful rite

nice view sambil breakfast nasi lemak k..

here we go..bandung town.. :)

 alhamdulillah we landed at bandung around 9am (Malaysia time) but bandung time it's 8am k.. bandung is late 1 hour from malaysia time.. landed jer kat airport bandung, i agak suprise k bila landed kat Lapangan Terbang bandar Husein Sastranegara,Bandung.. the airport is really small, siap i nampak orang main bola sepak yer kat tepi landasan kapal terbang k.. our flight landed agak rough sikit, because tempat landed dia pendek so, agak kasar la nak landed kan.. takut terlajak... 

Bandung Airport

i turn jer dari kapal, i terus terpesona k, dengan view sekeliling airport tu.. it cool, and view nyer sangat indah k, dikelilingi dengan gunung2 ok.. terus jatuh hati, me n hubby cepat2 pergi que kat kaunter immigration, ok kat sini, kiter kena ada kesabaran yang sangat tinggi yer, the que is super duper long k and it's took us one hour to settle everything, because kaunter immigration dia ada dua jer.. satu tuk warganegara asing..(it's for me!!) and satu lagi kaunter for warganegar indonesia yangpulang ke tanah air (yang pasti not me :p)

sempat snap, friend on the air, dia duk kat sebelah i masa kat dalam kapal.. 2 jam tu kerja kami berborak je la... hubby plak.. kerja dia ZZzzzzzzzzzzz... :)

so after settle with immigration and luggage... me n hubby just sit and thingk what we should do after this...actually my friend yang terkandas kat malaysia tu, dia yang settle kan all the transportation kami kat bandung, so bila dia takde. kami agak tak taw nak buat ape kan.. agak panic gak la... lucky before bertolak, nad dah buat study k about bandung..

first.. ok beli sim card dulu, boleh call si ayed nie.. cepat2 kami beli sim card k.. i beli simcard MENTARI

nie dia sim card mentari

i taw simcard nie, coz i goggle tengok blog2 orang yang dah ke bandung, they recommended to buy this simcard, coz coverage dia bagus, eventho kat tangkuban perahu, coverage full ok and bila balik mesia.. dia tukar jadi digi k.. so boleh gunakan lagi.. tapi ingat jangan beli kat airport.. super duper mahal k, sakit tul hati..i beli simcard nie ngan harga rp150ribu k.. sangat mahal.. padahal fatin liyana beli untuk ayed tak smp RP20ribu.... owh siapakah fatin liyana yang i maksudkan.. adakah dia blogger famous tu.. teruskan membaca entry nie k.. 


dah dapat simcard, pe lagi kami terus call ayed.. and masa tu dia tengah settle kan passport wife dia kat immigration and he promise that he will landed kat bandung around maghrib..insyaallah.. 


fuhhh... lega kami dengar, then after that kami terus get a cab to POP Hotel Bandung Festival Link  tu... ingat for those yang first time ke bandung... don't ever take taxi tipu k.. camne nak taw taxi tipu.. hah when you kuar jer dari pintu airport tu.. dorang akan datang kat kite and cakap... ibu, mau taxi ka.. murah2 jer.. RP200ribu jer... ok DONT EVER TAKE THEM K.. SURE AKAN DITIPU.. so what you need to do is find the blue bird taxi or go to taxi counter there.. just go there and inform them where your destination k.... before you confirm, make sure taxi tu pakai meter k..... then baru confirm.. but if you dapat blue bird taxi... lagi bagus...  


so we got a meter taxi (not blue bird, susah bangat nak dpt k).. they charge us RP70 ribu = RM25 hengget.. but ok r.. our hotel location takes around 20 minutes to arrive .. plus road kat bandung is super duper busy .. memang nak tekan spedo smp 100 pun tak dapat punya la.. 


so after 20 minutes scary journey with a cab.. kami arrive kat POP Hotel Bandung, this hotel is link with Festival City Link Mall k, and beside hariss hotel.. this hotel baru siap dalam sebulan rasanyer.. and everything still new...

our entrance

kami arrive kat hotel tu dalam kul 10 pagi yer(bandung time).. so dengan penuh confidence kami terus gi kaunter and request for early check in.. but we unlucky, coz room is full and the receptionist ask us tu check in pukul 2 petang... bayangkan u ada 4hours before check in.. and dengan 2 luggage and the 2 stranger yang tak taw what to do in bandung... serius blur k bila receptionist tu inform. 

then receptionist tu advice us to jalan2 kat dlam city link mall tu, mayb boleh baca air muka kami yang sangat blur kan.. so nak tak nak kena gak la cari tempat tuk spend our 4hours kan.. so we left our luggage kat hotel tu, then masuk la dalam mall, and mall tu baru open k.. jalan2 pnya jalan.. kami terus gi J.co donuts.. lepak makan donuts, smbl minum coffee & sambil update tenet k... 

our donuts and coffee at J.co Donuts and coffee 

we eat sangat slow k, sebab nak habis our 4 hour k.. sambil2 tu dapat rehatkan badan.. i apa lagi terus update kat fb, call our parents and of coz call ayed n wife dia tnaya wut latest update kat mesia.. and lastly mintak phone number si Fatin Liyana nie... hehe

i dapat contact fatin liyana and inform her that we already kat bandung and inform her where our location and about ayed and her wife.. so after few conversation with her.. she will pick up ayed kat airport nanti and after that pickup us kat hotel for dinner.. (later will reveal who is fatin liyana) 

after makan2.. we still have about 2 and 1/2 hour lagi before check in.. so me and hubby decide nak jalan2 dalam mall tu.. kami pusing2 la dalam mall tu dalam satu jam..(boring ok)
the mall tu macam jusco jer kat malaysia.. but they do have ice world kat level atas sekali and they have bowling and karaoke... hubby ajak karaoke k tuk habiskan masa kat sana.. but i tak nak.. sebab no mood for enjoy k.. 


dalam kul 1 i ajak hubby, gi hotel and see if we can check in, and alhamdulillah.. we can check in.. have available room that time.. pe lagi terus check in la.. siap check in tuk ayed sekali yer...


masuk2 room jer.. terus speechless k.. hotel tu interior dia sangat warna warni k... tak taw nak explain camner.. tengok je la gambar kat bawah nie k...
