One day trip to purwakarta. Starts at sate maranggi ‘’cibungur’’ purwakarta. Very very crowded because of the holiday. Despite the crowd and the hectic situation, I managed to enjoy the famous sate and es kelapa muda :D

Next stop: Situ Buleud. Unfortunately, it was closed when we got there. I thought it was supposed to be a public place but apparently they have opening and closing time. Too bad.

After situ buleud, we went to wanayasa (resort giri tirta kahuripan). They have swimming pool, playing ground, flying fox, ATV, etc. Mmm.. not my kinda place :P

Our last stop was waduk jatiluhur. We got there around 5.30, right on time for the sunset. We went around by boat for about half an hour.

Malang

27 Nov – 1 Dec 2013

It’s been ages since my last ‘’business mixed with pleasure’’ trip.

This time around, I get to spend my time in malang tasting some of malang’s famous foods, visiting a very nice eco green park, taking tons of pictures at bromo and its surroundings, and last but not least, experiencing the excitement of tandem paragliding.

We stayed at the brand new Atria Hotel. I had some bad experiences here, so I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. Anyway, for my culinary experience in malang, please click here

I love malang. And there’s always a bit of new thing to do and experience each time i revisit this town.

On our third day in malang, we went to visit Eco Green Park. I think this is a very fine place, especially for families with kids. The place is clean and somewhat able to convey their ‘eco’ message. For Indonesia’s standard, I think this place is above par.

After Eco Green Park, we went to the famous Batu’s alun-alun.
