I just came back from bandung... I had great pleasure having Mr Bowo as my driver.
I booked my driver from here http://www.andrarentour.web.id .  This is a company, so
sure it has many drivers. If you want Pak Bowo, just mention about it when you do the
booking.

I regret going to tangkuban perahu. with just a so-so scenery..  and worse when 'mosquitoes' follows
you around. I mean, a group of sellers follows you all the time, everywhere and it's hard not to buy
anything...  Better go to Kawah Putih putih. More beautiful scenery and there's no 'mosquitos' there. So,
I can enjoy the moment..

Strawberry selling trick : They'll show you a big box of strawberry and say it just 5k rupiah. When you want to buy, they'll change their word, saying 5k is for small box,  and 10k is for big box..  Anyway, 10k rupiah (~rm3) for big box is still worth it.. you can't get that kind of price here, ever. 

This is the big box strawberry for 10k rupiah (~rm3), bought at the car park at Kawah Putih.

wow.. tq for your concern..  Don't worry, overall, my trip there was a positive experience, and definitely I'm looking forward to come again, if I got extra money again..

Anyone have their flight soon? Mine will be next week, afraid it will be cancelled due to haze

can female tourist wear shorts (above knee length) when roaming around? What is the advisable attire since majority of the ppl are muslims...I am comfortable traveling in shorts but at the same time doesn't want to attract any unwanted stares..

thanks
