4th day,
For this round of Bandung trip we do not visit any tourism or "wisata" spot. We went to most of wisata spot during our 1st trip with our beloved mum early of this year. So we just been circling around the city and searching for our stuffs. By the way, as yesterday we bought lot of cloths at Pasar Baru, then we need to shipping back to JB. We cannot bring along so much stuffs as we are backpacking and still have many days to go. To filling our day in Bandung, we used driver to browsing around. Me and my buddy have our own aim. As for me looking for record or vinyl store and she is looking for Brotherhood store. As a result, I've found the record store but couldn't get the record that I want and my buddy get a t'shirt from Brotherhood Store but not exactly the Brotherhood t-shirt as per what she want....so it is fair and it also makes our driver circling around.

- Car Rental (Pak Nanang, +6282115853354) - Rp.500,000 per day or about 12 hours. He is very humble and just do a little talk and we understood he is Pengerusi Masjid or Mosque Leader in his residential areas.
We also wanted to do some laundry. However in Bandung you have to wait for a day. They do not offer instant laundry...jadi kena bawaklah baju yang busuk ke destinasi yang seterusnya.
Oh, I told you before that I wanted to send back my shopping stuffs to
my hometown right. Yeah...we been to the post office. All the shipment need to be process before 12 pm every day. Since we just put inside a normal plastic back as we thought that we can buy any boxes at post office. Nevertheless, they will wraps for us at extra cost but not put inside the boxes. Thus, we decided to used flight services as I bought some brownies and layered cakes plus with bla bla bla bla... Actually it is a bit expensive, for 900 gram weight it cost me about Rp.962,600...fuhhhh... tarik nafas dalam2...lepas nafas...bayar jeklah... Lepas tu suruh Pak Nanang gi Money Changer...tukar duit...
- Tips:
- For Pos Indonesia flight shipment, it will takes about 1-2 weeks for door to door delivery. However you still have cheaper option which is by ship and it will takes about 3-4 weeks...or more LOL...
- Make sure you wrap your shopping stuffs nicely or put inside the box when you bought it...because as mine it's came by plastic sack ( karung plastik isi gula tu lerr....mati2 aku ingat dia isi dalam box... lintang pukang ler kek lapis aku...bila sampai rumah berlari-lari lapisan kek tu ...nasib baik ada rasa lagi).
- Money$$$ exchange rate sometimes is much cheaper compare in Malaysia. However it is depend to your driver to recommend to any money changer. When you do some $$$exchange, you need to show your passport as one of the requirement and they will provide you some courtesy drink.... Ada kelas ko...
Okay...our next destination is Yogyakarta or Jogyakarta (Borobudur!!!! aku datang......). During late evening, Pak Nanang send us back to Bandung train station. We took night train as we intend to save our journey times and accommodation costs huhuhuhu....(kenalah budget bila dah perabis duit shopping sakan kat Bandung..kata backpackers...sangatler tu...)
