For the past 4 weeks, I have been on the constant move..

First 3 weeks I was at Jakarta..Not much happened the night I arrived.Typical evening in Jakarta with all the macet and off to Chillis for dinner. Other than that, most of my time there was spent on sightseeing rather than shopping..Which for me is indeed better..Most of my journey there were photographed and I have uploaded some to my facebook. If riding a bike in Malaysia you think is scary, wait till you ride pillion with a local..GOSH!, they got skills man!!.

Horse riding?

My first time ever on a horse. No small horse I am talking about..and not those silly strolls you get at fairs.NO, this is real skill training horse riding. It is no easy matter riding a horse.. Movies make it looks so easy..The horse I rode was named Sufyan.Damn he is a huge horse..

Tangkuban Perahu

This was where I went to see the volcano craters..Very cold up there too. It was high in the mountains. What I wore was just casual-typical tourist ensemble…shorts,shirt..No doubt it was cold, but some of the locals who went there overdid it. Guess what they wore… Jackets and gloves over their clothes..YUP! jackets! IT was’nt thhaaaatt cold

Tea Plantation

There was also this tea plantation we went to visit..Cant recall the name now though. It was cold there as well..Colder than Tangkuban if not the same. First we had a tour around the factory-like building where they dry the leaves and pack the tea.Later we took an 8km walk in the plantation itself.So many pictures were taken by my mum.Ughh..

After the tea plantation, we took the chance to check out the paragliding place they had not far from the plantation..I was psyched and wanted to try it.. Then it happened..right in front of my eyes. A guy was pulling up his parachute to begin his run down the cliff and start the para-thingy..BUT!!, the chute was not caught by the wind..He didnt notice and kept running towards the end of the cliff..Lucky he managed to stop in time..THAT WAS SCARY! Litteraly, one more step would have costed him his life. So, I backed out from trying this adrenaline-pumping activity.

FOOD

To top it off, we tried more food this time around..I still can’t get used to Indonesian food. After eating at the stalls, I was sick like a dog the rest of the day. Aghh. The food was nice. Guess it was not prepared with the normal hygiene standards I and so many others are used to.

Kuching

I was in Kuching for one week after my trip to Jakarta. This time around, I got to drive around in my uncle’s Vios..OOO, vios..I like that car..Cant say the same for the newer model though..Drove pretty far too…Went up all the way to Serian..And that was what(?), my 9th time behind the wheel of any car..So, yea..
