From Bandung, part 1

As promised, here are some interesting pictures I took while I was in Bandung during the last Hari Raya holiday.

Now, does anybody know what is the meaning of 'Kawasan 7 titik'? There is this big sign right on Jalan Merdeka Bandung, one of the busiest street where one of the most visited mall is located: BIP. The sign says: "Anda memasuki kawasan 7 titik" (It's roughly translated as 'You are entering the 7 points/spots area' in English), signed by Sat.Pol. Kota Bandung. My first reaction when i saw that sign was, of course as you can easily guessed: "What the heck is Kawasan 7 titik?" There was no explanation whatsoever anywhere near it. OK, may be there has been some kind of a socialization about it. Since I no longer live in Bandung, it was no wonder that I know nothing about it. So I asked my friends and family who are living in Bandung. And you know what they say about it? Yup, as you can easily guessed (again): they have no clue about it either. *sigh*

I googled it, and found this link. (The site is in Bahasa Indonesia).

Apparently, 'kawasan 7 titik' is what they say for a... err.. I'm not sure how to say this in English, but it is something like a pilot project for neatness in a special area.

Anyway, my point is, there is this big sign in the middle of hustle bustle of Bandung City, but most of us do not know anything what the meaning of this sign. How can that be? Well, maybe I'm exaggerating. Maybe it's just me, and some people around me like my family, my friends who don't know about this. Maybe we just don't update ourselves to what happen around us. Maybe... who knows... :P

(it's kinda hard to talk about this in English, maybe I will blog about it again some other time in Bahasa Indonesia)

Look at that. Waste is still a problem... a big problem I may say... in my lovely city of Bandung. This picture was taken early in the morning around Pasar Simpang in Dago. It's a common view there every morning, and around all wet market in Bandung. Usually by 8 or 9 am, the mountain of garbage is no longer there.
Hmm... it's actually a good opportunity to start a disposal management company. Is anyone interested?

That's all about Bandung. No matter what, I still love Bandung ^_^

I will blog about some (street) food in Bandung later.






P.S: The two pictures are taken by my new red SE G900. Yup! I got one now! With good camera on it, i can now snapshot just about anything interesting that i find along my way. The SE G900 is now officially out of my wishlist. Yayy!!
