if u go there for piap2, u'll need 1k for everything....

if shopping, budget more....

Hi guys, I will be heading to bandung on the 22 till 25th Dec. Just wondering do the shops there close on Christmas? and can some 1 recommend me or pm me the contact details for hired driver + car rental? What is the average price per day for a 4 seater car rental + driver?

all shop is open those days. do not worry.

rm766 for 2x return ticx in June, good deal or normal deal? haha

kalau airasia, harga itu mahal.

After much reading, i had engaged fellow forumer gins123 for the north bandung city tour next week! looking forward for the meet up

Just a heads up to those going to Bandung this period. It's been raining everyday. Be prepared.. Reporting live from bdg

welcome to bandung. hopefully you enjoy our city even raining.

Great city. Everyone is frenly. What's good to eat around Braga eh? Tried bebek garang. Good stuff. Wanted to walk to Warung Ampera near Alun2 but raining. The Kiosk @ Braga walk mb?

The merchandises in Polo Ralph Lauren store are fakes. You can also find the same fake shirts at Ralph Lauren Store in Bandung Airport. The Nike Store sells original items but I found that they more expensive than in Malaysia except for clearance items. Levis in Toko Tiga is genuine. Check the number on the back of the top jean button to confirm that it is a genuine Levis. The number must be same as in the washing tag. The prices of the jeans were not that attractive. You can get better bargain and more choices in Levis Warehouse Sale last weekend.

Most of the items in FO are fake. During my visit I only found a few Burberry sweaters and Ralph Lauren polo shirts that were originals in Rumah Mode. The conditions of the shirts were very bad that they looked like being used before. However, leather products at Jalan Cibaduyut are good buys.

is it safe for ladies only?

please refer to this forum, and find travel agents are trusted by them, and so far no problems.

generally safe. but it is also depends on your behaviour. if you wearing too many jewelry, can attract thief. etc. do not walk alone in the dark also.

the shops at PVJ are they selling genuine or fake items?

The PVJ to get original items you can visit the outlet of each brand of the product.

Hi gins1983,

Thx for arranging Pak Bowo to be my supir yesterday. He is a very nice guy, very patience, accommodating (woke up late due to all-nighter at the Classic Rock Pub near Jl Braga), knowledgeable and most of all a very good driver (it's important in a city like Bandung). Since I was travelling alone (yesterday), I invited him to join me for lunch at Kampung Daun. We had a great chat on living in Bandung and etc. I will definitely request for him again if I come back to this city (perhaps not during the rainy season)!

can anyone tell me how much for a taxi from bandung city centre to tangkuban perahu? i'm a single traveller, i wonder whether it's worth it to charter a taxi to go up there

use taxi to tangkuban perahu ? it is quite far and also must pay for waiting fee.

how about car rental with driver?

travel with a rented car better. u can go to other places after the volcano trip. IMO la
