Tangkuban Perahu

Pela Mampang, Jakarta

Last weekend (14-16 February), the four of us (Hans, Ellen, Cil and I), made a trip to Bandung. We took the train from Gambir and stayed at a hotel (Jadul Village) just north of Bandung.

On Saturday we rented a car and paid a visit to Tangkuban Perahu, the volcano. No rain!

Ellen and Hans are honouring us here in Jakarta from 28 January to 23 February, and it seems like they are enjoying their stay!

Weekend trip to Georgetown

Sunday, 2 February 2014
Pela Mampang, Jakarta

I haven’t visited Georgetown, Penang, since 1998, so I don’t remember very much of the city streets. This time we stayed at a hotel called 1881 Hotel, because it was built in 1881. We arrived on 16 January on a direct flight from Jakarta, and stayed 4 nights.

I went to a bar nearby the hotel, Hong Kong Bar, which I remember from last time. However, it was burnt down in 2004 and not much interesting anymore.
