It's also not the 1st time i travelled wth my old dad and yet we DIY till he got so familiar wth the MRT system of that country haha Buy ticket & hire local drivers there-lah. In Indonesia, every cities, u surely find lotsa car rentals with personal driver

i try but i need more info about the place like
-tourism spot
-tech spot
-trusted tour guide
-place to stay(we might go 4D 3N i think)
-halal food location(recall nasi kucing incident in indonesia? )

4D3N and you wanted 2 cities that are so far apart Impossible..4D3N is good for Jakarta & Bandung only. To cover Surabaya & bandung, u need atleast 6 days

Ok if 6D5N any idea where to go? Tyvm

For Bandung, just 2 things, factory outlet shopping & volcano sighthing,.Most of it already mentioned on pg1 & many posting thereafter. if your are not into branded item shoppings, it will be boring actually.. just like me. i was expecting cheap t-shirts7 etc but in Bandung, price are worse than M'sia and everywhere in Indonesia, you can't even find cheap t-shirt below RM10! Cheapest also >RM30! bcos so called claimed branded goods..

Volcano- Tangkuban prahu is amust.. Anyway, all these can be done within 2D1N in Bandung or 3D 2N.

I have not been to Suranaya yet.. You probably need to goto Surabaya thread and ask.. It will take you atleast 10-12hrs by bus or 1 full day by land transport from Bandung.

in bandung:
tourism spot usually tangkuban perahu and kawah putih. both is a volcano. other is hot spring and lake. most tourist come here for shopping.
hotel can be easily found and booked in the internet like agoda or booking.
you do not need tour guide in bandung. you just need transportation here.
finding halal food in indonesia is easy. because most population here is moslem.

in surabaya:
which place you want to visit in surabaya ? bromo ? that is half day trip from surabaya. that mean you need 2 days in surabaya. if you go from bandung with plane, would save your time.

Well idk much, i just wanna visit and travel to place people recommended.
How about computer stuff there? Expensive?

not sure. but why buy here ?

just wanna look there........+ my father maybe interested in other stuff too

Computer stuff might be cheap in Jakarta - try Mangga Dua IT Mall just side by side wth Mangga Dua Mall near Kota/Glodok area.. I was surprise to see cheap notebooks there (Well only in this mall- which is bigger than LYP from my estimate/observation.. Elsewhere, not easy to find IT stuff and most electronics goods are more expensive than KL for sure

hi stimix, glad to see u still active here

there is polo store in setiabudhi street. just several hundred meter from rumah mode (going up / north).

minimum charge should be less. you maybe call by phone the taxi ?

Nope. It was a handheld taxi. When im on board he uses the meter. When reach destination meter showed only 9k. But he insist 25k saying that was the minimum fare. I was cheated then. Nevermind. Thanx for your info.

Minimum charge for Blue Bird is IDR25k, other taxi companies IDR20k.

Any1 in bandung on 30 August? I am planning to rent a car(to kawah putih) but there are only two of us. Mm looking for any1 who wanna join us on the mentioned date? Tq

I think minimum charges only apply for phone booking, no?

i see the minimum fare is apply not only from phone booking.

you can cancel your book around an hour after you talked on the phone.
but it depends on your reason
