The Experience
OK as promised, here is the post about my experience in Jakarta/Puncak/Bandung over the last 5 days. Now, if you're expecting a very long post (which is very typical of me), then you're very wrong. Haha! Coz, I've decided not to bore U guys with mere words but instead, take all of U through the journey with me using all the pictures I've taken while I'm in Indonesia. :) How does that work U wonder? Well, all U have to do is simply click on my Facebook Album links below (preferably in order) to virtually travel with me. Hahahaha what the hell? I guess, U all got the idea yeah? :P
Jakarta/Puncak/Bandung Part 1
Jakarta/Puncak/Bandung Part 2
Jakarta/Puncak/Bandung Part 3
Now, what is travelling without shopping, right? I know some people who travel solely to experience a new culture, food, sights, etc. and skip shopping totally (not even little souvenirs) but that's so not me! Haha. A true shopaholic will definitely shop no matter where he/she is or what he/she is buying. :P Hahaha...
Sadly, this time round, I didn't shop much for myself. There's nothing much that caught my attention, really. I always thought it would be great to shop to my heart's content in Indonesia, given the exchange rate, but there's just nothing much to be bagged. It's not a wonder there's countless of Indonesian contributing to Singapore's economy. Hehe...
Anywho, these were what me, mom and granny managed to grab eventually...
 BREADTALK breads/cakes/cookies!!! :D (it's Halal in Indonesia but NOT in Singapore)
 Beaded slip-on scarves for granny (very popular in SG/MY/ID)
 Lovely blouse for mom and handkerchiefs for me, from Batik Keris (established Batik Boutique that originated from Solo)  Fridge Magnets from Bandung & Jakarta
 Pure leather heels for mom from Grutty (Made in Bandung, Indonesia)
 Grey blouse, grey beaded scarf and black Pierre Cardin jeans for mom (from Factory Outlet)
 Donatello & Pierre Cardin socks for me (average $2.50 per pair!)
 Batik tissue holder from Parang Kencana (established Batik Boutique in Jakarta)
 Black Muslim blouse for mom and yet another pair of Pierre Cardin jeans but this time, in dark blue (from Factory Outlet as well)
Overall, we're beyond satisfied with our acquisitions. There could be more purchases for sure but as usual, we try to control the urge. Hehe! Now, what do U think of our purchases? Hehehe... :D
Regards,
Niz
