Confession of a Bagaholic at Bandung

B FOR BANDUNG
B FOR BAGS
B FOR BUY BUY BUY
B FOR BYE BYE MY RUPIAHS


I have a weakness for bags, big or small, formal or leisure

At Bandung, I was in bag paradise..

Stores and stores of bags...

Different designs, colours, sizes and brands...

and most importantly, darn affordable

would have bought more, but lack of rupiah notes held me back and some smaller outlets do not accept cards..

3 in one Bag (no brand)

supposingly to be made from cow skin. The size is just 'gam-gam' for me, not to big or small.

it has a smaller bag, which can be used as stand-alone, as well as a coin-purse

price : RP390,000 (RM140.00)
for this price, it's really a good bargain

complete set





Three in One Back Pack / Hand Carry Pouch

I love this bag too, it's a 3-in-1 carry bag. My doter has taken ownership meanwhile

Price : RP250,000 = RM90.00

Another nice back pack. Was tagged at RP344,900, tat about RM125.00. Was deciding to buy or not for at least 30 minutes....temptation was too great and I decided to give in lah willingly..is there not a saying..if you cannot 'beat it, join it'

At the cashier, was informed that the price was wrongly tagged, actual price RP190,000 = RM68.40. My GF jumped with joy on hearing that and grabbed the remaining piece.

A purse for myself ..I think it was less than Rp 50,000 = RM18.00

Hermes Reversible Bag
Price :RP35,000/pc = RM12.60



comes with a pouch inside

Sling Jean Bag

also at RP35,000 = RM12.60/piece

Last but not least Chloe bag (all bags are imitation lah)

material synthetic leather

Price : RP250,000 = RM90.00

I AM JUST A TYPICAL WOMAN, WHO LOVES BAGS

Bandung - A Woman's Shopping Paradise

Our 4 Days/3Nites Bandung trip was superb hilarious and truly rewarding.


Now I realised that my shopping kakis could buy almost anything, even lesong (yes..lesong tat goes tom tom) ..

One kaki bought enough bras&panties that she could change different sets everyday and still has new

and

until the next millenium



Another kaki bought enough slippers that she can easily open a store






One kaki has new bags for different days of the week
(hi hi tat's me..the guilty one)









Because it's super duper reasonably priced!





Bandung..I will be back ! Yes, I"ll definitely be back..even with all the horrendous jam !



WE WILL - HASTA LA VISTA BABY

Tangkuban Parahu & The Lesong - Bandung

Today our day started with a trip to Tangkuban Parahu, dormant volcano crater, located some 30km away from Bandung town.


Pak Yuyun got us thru the 9curves 13corners road upto the parking on the rim of this 'must-see' tourist attraction.

Last eruption was in 1959, Tangkuban Parahu means 'overturn boat'. There is a folklore about this place, so if you are interested to know more, go read wikipedia. After reading, please do donate to this e-encyclopedia.

Unfortunately (or fortunately for other tourists), this place hold little or no interest at all to my tour kakis.

Wandering around, we spotted something that caught our attention !

like moths drawn to the light, all the ladies (ahemm,..including that one male) made our way to this stall

no it's not the weaved mengkuang stuff, or the carved items


Wanna know..scroll down









more

some more lah

PRESENTING THE LESONG

made from volcano rocks

Pak Seller :

Mari, saya demostrasikan

Ni Bagus, goyang-goyang, tumbuk-tumbuk semua kau tim

ada gaya ada ummmppphh

My gf : Bawa sini, saya mau cuba, saya lagi ada gaya

My gf (scratching her head): to buy or not to buy

(US : after having a EGM over this

in one unison voice)

BUY LAH

My gf : Ok ok lah I buy...naH Pak ambil these uang before I changed my mind

And she would go home happily with her lesong in tow


Sometimes, there is no happy ending to some stories, and this is one of them..

She did not buy
Instead only this happy lady got HER ROYAL lesong ..
good bargain for a 20cm cir lesong @ Rp70k = RM25.00

We flew Garuda, so no need to mentally calculate the extra luggage costs..

DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY

Either she was over stressed from the walk or losing her mind because no lesong, so she decided to do the Para para dance ala Bandung style

and the winner said..no,..this is the way to do it..

hand up up in the air

ya ya ..i got my lesong

the lady in the mid: ahhemm..i tink your ketiak got bau already lah

end of the story..,,

stay tune for our next stop update !!!
