Massive, Green and Marvelous Rain Forest!!! It has been a while from my first trip to see Orang Utan into the wild in Tanjung Puting National Park.

Bandung and Its surrounding
Bandung is always full of memory for me. I like it a lot how the people here dress, very stylish. Its climate is just perfect, not too cold and not too warm as other Indonesian big city. Bandung has Indonesian favorite name calls Paris van Java, I guess this means the Paris in Java. Maybe it associates with its fashion, its climate, or maybe its love. You can just easily falling in love with this tiny little town, with its food, its people, just an expression of love here and it is not so far from Jakarta.
