Shopping in Bandung.

As promised, I am going to blog about my trip to Bandung... Like previously mentioned, it was a trip that wasn't planned long and thorough. Bo & me just decided one day after golf that we'd like to visit my youngest aunt who happened to be traveling to Bandung for a few days.

All we did was purchased our flight tickets, all transfers and accommodation have been taken care by my aunt.

We almost missed our flights though... Because I didn't really read the flight itinerary forwarded to me by the travel agent. I took for granted thinking that it was 12.00pm flight, when in actually fact it was the arrival in Bandung time. I'm not going to describe my stupidity, so to skip all that, we barely managed to catch the flight. In fact, we were 'saved' by the heavy downpour... Most flights were delayed due to it.

We arrived Bandung almost an hour late. Aunt was already waiting at the airport with our driver. She has arranged everything for us, even the itinerary itself...

OK, how do I say this... To say that Shopping in Bandung is Heaven would be an understatement. Can anything top heaven? I wouldn't know, I've never been there... Sounds crazy? The shopping in Bandung is crazier!!

I went with my medium sized luggage only filled with my toiletries and change for 2 days, that's 2 dresses and a pair of sandal. That was only about 5% of the space. I even packed empty shoe boxes just for padding so my makeup won't break.

I came home with my luggage filled to the maximum (all the clothes were rolled), I even had to unzip the extender zipper! I bought enough clothes to last me a lifetime! The prices? Not even a bargain, they're so cheap that you'd think getting the same design in 3 different colors isn't a big deal! The brands? Check your wardrobe and see all the 'expensive' brands that you have and see where they are made from... If it says Indonesia, they can be found in Bandung my friends...

Bebe, Juicy Couture, Ed Hardy, Victoria's Secret, Victoria Beckham, 7 for Mankind, Armani Exchange, Tommy Hilfiger... to name just a few.

I spent all 3 days 2 nights I was there shopping... I had no time for sight seeing. The peak of a volcano was not interesting enough for me. I couldn't be bothered with taking pictures neither. No time for that!

Oh! I spent 3 millions on accommodation & transport and 5 millions on shopping and food. That's around RM2500 - shocking? Go there and see for yourself!
