FO area in bandung are jalan riau / sumatra, jalan dago, dan jalan setiabudhi (rumah mode)

here i give you the map

Hello, my name is denny, and i wish i ca help you about information about bandung. cause i live in bandung for 18 years.
your hotel is not close with shoping area.
many tourist like shoping in Factory Outlet, (rumah mode, heriage, the secret, etc), cihampelas street, dago, cibaduyut if you like buy shoes.
you must get taxi or hire a driver to take you to shoping area.
if you choose taxi, you must get the good taxi. they use argometer, so you do not be fooled by the price.
and if you choose hire a driver, just call and relax you will be comfortable shopping when carrying a lot of stuff. but off course much expensive than taxi
you can hire a driver, for 12 hour around rp300.000 (100 ringgit) all in
its all up to you
hope this information usefull 4 u

heloo...
i think, you can withdraw money at ATM machines with an existing card logo visa or master. but offcourse there a fee from the bank. ( i dont know how much)
i never heard MEPS in bandung, so i suggest You 've brought the money from malaysia. but if less , you may redeem the ringgit at the money changer in Bandung . there are so many money changer here, dont worry.. just be happy enjoy Bandung

to hire a driver and car in bandung, the price around 300.000 - 500.000 rupiah, depend the type of car (small and large is difference price), how long you hire (12 hour, 24 hour), with driver or without driver, and all in or without driver meal and gasoline.

and the price in the FO, is the fixed price. no bargain.
but, sometimes you can get the discount from credit card when they make a promotion.

yup... some credit card sometimes give promotion to us.
but not all credit card did it.
just ask ke chasier when you want to pay, "apakah ada promosi dari kartu cerdit?"

If you wat to go to jakarta from bandung, you can use the train or "CAR TREVEL" this is the most easy to go there.
X trans, Cipaganti trevel, Day trans, Baraya trevel, Citytrans and so many more. they are departs every hour.
but they just take us from station to station. so when you arrived i jakarta, you need a taxi to take you to your destination
only 65000 - 75000 rupiah
