Don't worry. Dago area is like in the middle of kota Bandung. Very near to go anywhere.

Dago really central? Can easily get angkot to anywhere in town? hmm.gif

If u often to get used with traffic in Vietnam, i think u will have no problem to ride/drive in Bandung. The traffic both places is quite similar with lots of motorist on the road. Exactly when u planning to visit Bandung?

is it safe enough for single lady traveler to go there without driver or tour guide? at first the trip should be 4 of us, now only left me alone. really upset when people fail to plan properly their vacation.TQ

Once u go solo, u never go back laugh.gif brows.gif


QUOTE(nscid @ Mar 30 2015, 02:27 PM)
Should be okay. Just need to be extra careful with local people and keep your handbag/bag safe especially when you go to the famous Pasar Baru. They can recognise Malaysian (by our appearance) and like to follow and force us to buy theirs.

When are u going?
*
Pasar baru or rumah mode, which is better? hmm.gif

For u ahhh? Rumah Mode I think. U can get rejected branded stuffs at cheap price

Have u been to GM Klang? Pasar Baru is more less similar like GM Klang. Its heaven for ladies. All kind of fabrics, shawls, bedsheets, shirts yadda yadda.

Yes, I went there before... unsure.gif
Too bad not many choices when it comes to electronics...

i think recently i read 2 different articles about 2 incidents involving single lady tourist who got raped in Indonesia.
forgot where the location is.

2 reports in the recent days.
unreported? i bet many more cases. dont care where in indonesia, this happens.

so be careful if u decide to go. maybe without a tour guide is better.
if im not mistaken in one incident the guide raped the lady.
another incident is the guard or someone.

this is not your country, u r not familiar, and u are a lady, alone.
rape cases involving single lady travelers, also documented.
so i would say high risk.

i propose not to go alone.
ok i found the news:
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/659843/indone...chinese-tourist

http://thejakartaglobe.beritasatu.com/news...in-bali-police/

Malaysian gang-raped in Bandung

Trip Advisor page about rape in Bandung
*
Crime in our own backyard is as bad, if not worse. Fact of the matter is... nowhere is 100% safe. My advice is, just take precautions, don't venture out to places you know you have a very high chance of getting robbed/assaulted/raped (this comes with experience wink.gif )

Managed to rent a scooter for a day (100k, not cheap but using public transport is slower and can be more expensive). Rode to soreang, ciwidey and mt patuha (kawah putih).. Very scenic

Riding in bandung wasn't as bad as i thought, had to motoweave a lot laugh.gif

Angkot hopping wasn't as hard as I thought, once i got used to it, it was soo fun thumbup.gif
Went to braga, cihampelas, pasar baru and rumah mode biggrin.gif

Ride a scooter in bandung? Champion! How's your ride? Easy? Was it hard/difficult to find way to the destinations? And lastly, where did u stayed?

Ok lor, just have to be more 'aggressive', every part of the road is my domain, from middle line to even the pedestrian path tongue.gif

Not at all, some places are pretty straightforward to get there, i used gps for some places like cihampelas walk and cicaheum (went to buy bus ticket)

Stayed in Hunny Hostel, paskal food market is just 5 minutes away. Angkots pass by here very often, so it's easy for me to get around
