Just got back from 5 days Bandung. Fantastic trip. We loved the city, food and surroundings. To me the outlets were a bit of a dissapointment; though I did find some nice tees and such. My gf however had the time of her life (though she hates too obvious branded clothing). She found much of her likings; which cannot be found in KL. She's Dutch (I am too); and for Europeans (especially women) I guess Bandung is fantastic. I bought some warm sweaters for when we return home .....

Surroundings were very nice. Went to the mountains, but also just driving around in the countryside was really nice. We liked the clean air and the breeze (cold weather) the most; perfect climate over there.

@senyii Check the list on this page; all car rental/driver companies available: http://blog.malaysia-asia.my/2009/08/bandu...hotel-list.html

It's easy to just do whatever you like. We paid around Rp.400.000 for a driver...though this was just a taxi. It's possible to rent a driver+car for way less money.

We went to the mountainous area; the crater, white lake and of course everything within Bandung city itself. My gf shopped her ass off .

A nice way to do the not so common things; is to get a local driver which is easy in Bandung.

So funny you would mention food. I have not had that great food in Malaysia ever period. Food in Indonesie generally is always so much tastier. I am not Malaysian, but European so that perhaps explains something? I always read Malaysians writing about how shitty food in other countries is; while I always enjoy the food in the neighboring countries (I like local Malay/Chinese/Indian dishes too of course ).

Rp 400.000 for 1 day (around 8/9 hours)...

But as I said; this was because we were lazy and just had the taxi put on the meter for the whole day
