Finally I’ve been granted time to actually blog! Okay maybe more like I was feeling a little lazy to update this. But oh well. I was actually pretty preoccupied lately with looking into which college to go too. Today I went to The Star Education Fair and spoke to a fair amount of college representatives. I pretty much have a rough idea of what I’m gonna do. Tomorrow I’ll be going with my parents to get more detailed information.

Anyway just to give a short report on my recent Bandung trip, I vow never to return to Indonesia for all eternity. On my last night there I got hit by the worse ever food poisoning. I threw up like 7 times and had diarrhoea like 5 times. Ugh. And the food there is just plain bland and horrid.

But I did get to shop a fair bit. Not too much just enough to keep me satisfied. ^^

One of their main modes of public transport at Bandung is the "Angkut". It’s this van with doors like those on buses. Those folding doors. People can hail these vans from the roadsides and hop onto them to get to their destinations. Different angkuts have different routes to go. And when waiting for traffic lights to go green sometimes some guys with guitars will come and sing you a short song while you wait. It’s their way of begging. Actually its daylight robbery.

So that was my first and last trip to Indonesia. Not really THAT enjoyable except for the shopping part.
