This lazy sunday i decided to walk around my homeland city. Yes its Bandung.
Been live here since i was born. Though, we didnt get much time to know each other.
I simply choose to leave the city and go for a trip when i got free time on my hand, but sometimes what we have seen up close doesnt mean its not good and boring.
Turns out, its very exciting. :)
Photos below was taken at Museum Wangsit Mandala Putera
Just so you knowm this museum has so many historical goods. That's include the first Bendera Merah Putih that flown at Kota Bandung, weapons used at the time of the war of independence, even then the journals that contains a plan of war, and also warlord clothing that still have their blood on it. Spooky huh? Yes it is!
Even the building was very creepy. Its an old art deco house designed by the dutch. This building seems never been renovated.
Well.. I do not recommend you go alone into this museum. If you know what i mean. Haha..
Unfortunately visitors are not allowed to take pictures inside the museum, therefore I can only take pictures from outside the museum. Mostly, photos above are taken from the pavilion located behind the main room of the museum.
I got one photo from inside the museum, a picture of weapons used by soldiers. Not that good, the light is too dark and I did not bring a tripod, so here's the best i can do.
Next stop is Hotel Savoy Homann, tell you what, this building has been an icon of Bandung since like forever? I dont know haha.. been a long time ago, well they do have a very beautiful building.
Hotel Savoy Homann is as conveniently located as can be, right in the middle of Bandung. Literally that is, because the point zero, the absolute center of Bandung, can be found right across the street. Also both the train station and the airport are situated in close proximity, being less than 15 minutes away.
Being established in 1875, the Savoy Homann has a history that permeates the whole building. This is also its main feature, other than the art deco exterior and intrinsic style on the interior.
and here it goes the Preanger Hotel. Its also one of the biggest and oldest hotels in Bandung.
In 1884, when the plantation Priangan (plantation owners in Priangan) started working in agriculture and plantations around Bandung , they begin often come to stay and went for vacation in Bandung. Their needs are provided by a store on Groote Postweg Road (now Jalan Asia-Africa). But then the store went bankrupt, so in 1897 by a Dutchman named Van Deeterkom WHC shop turned into a hotel and given the name Hotel Preanger.
Lovely, eh? But lets just forget for a moment on the photos above. This is a fraud! Haha...
The truth is..
This is the real face of Bandung nowadays, crowded, jammed and stuffy humid heat. Yowzaa!
Well.. welcome to Bandung, folks! :)
