Here I am, at home in Bali. But I am going to share a short
trip when I was going to Bandung for a special purpose in really short time. It
was at end of August. Taking a flight to Bandung from Denpasar with Airasia, as
always, as it is cheaper than others.
Arrived there around 10 in the morning,
being picked up by a driver we have known from the previous trip. We straightly
went to the place where we were supposed to go. To find some clothing materials
since we were going to make a new design for the shop.

| Cibadak street |
Our first stop was
Cibadak around Thamrin area, here lays many many many stores selling various
kinds of material. Canvas, Denim, Cotton, from 100% Cotton to 10 % of it,
Polyester, Spandex, Rayon, and many more, I forgot.
Had 30 minutes walk, we did not get what we wanted. Then we
took another drive to an area where we can buy small capacity of cloth, which
is the rest cloth from the garment or factory. It is common when a big branded
clothing company did not use all the materials, they sell it to the stores in
this area, called Cigondewah.
After 15 minutes of walk separatedly, one of us found a shop
which sold what we were looking for all day long. It was such a treasure
finding. Ha.. We surely bought kilos of cloth and packed them all and shipped
it to Bali.

Finally we were free from duty. Yiihhaaaa. Here is the time
for shopping and having a little trip. But first, we went to the hotel and got
relaxed some.

After a while, We went out to have dinner but of course before
that, we spared some minutes to surf ‘The Secret’ fashion outlet. From the
large number of choices, I could not decide what I wanted.
I got nothing and
went to the next outlet named ‘Heritage’. Here I found my lovely white short
pants. I love it and it’s a hundred k, cheap right? Those two stores were
enough at that time. Time to fill my tummy with something called food.
Then, the driver drove us to a so-called food market, yet,
lets make it sound better, an exclusive food court. There are many small food
stalls offer diversity of food. :p
This place is called ……… I forgot, I need to check Mr.
Google first. Oh ya, it is ‘Paskal Food Market’.
Unfortunately I could not capture the place since I was not
having battery on my phone and camera, which the camera is on my phone. But for
sure Mr. Google can show you how the place looks like.

| On the flight home |
One tip when you are here, don’t worry where to pay because
there are many cashiers on every direction. SSssstt, I did not see those
cashiers, and I went there and here like an iron since I only saw one and only
cashier near the entrance. Puha! I just realized about the presence of other
cashiers when I was going to go home. L
The next day it was only me alone, my partners flied to Singapore
for some business matter. What can I do alone? Shopping for sure. :D I went to ‘Rumah
Mode’ factory outlet and I found what I wanted and bought those international
branded tops with a smile on my face. Yes!!!.. I got them cheap.
At the end, i went back home alone and satisfied :)
