Bunda remembered her late father wished to bring me to Mandala Wangsit Siliwangi Museum when I was in high school. But despite we went to Bandung several times in a month, his wish never came true until he passed away 12 years ago. Then she didn’t know it’s a coincidence or not, last September, Yayah asked me to visit this museum before having fun in Floating Market.

Enjoyable Evening on Floating Market Lembang
Borneo people in South Kalimantan has a unique tradition. They use boat, on the big river, to trade the groceries, meats, rice, and so on. They called it Lembang Floating Market. But, I never knew that in Bandung, West Java, there is a floating market too. Even I had been a citizen of Bandung for at least two decades.
Tour of Religion in Semarang
Like any other big cities in Indonesia, Semarang is also a melting pot. A lot of cultures, including religions, inside. When we The Homerie had a holiday there recently, we visited some religion sites. They are masjid (mosque), gereja (church), klenteng (Shenism temple), and other religion places. This is a brief, rush note of that journey.
To Darajat Pass where We Can Swim on the Cloud
A day before visiting Asep Stroberi, we went to another place in Garut. We went up to Darajat Pass, in Puncak Darajat. There are public swimming pools with hot water there. Another great place besides Cipanas in Garut Regency.
Karapan Sapi, from Bull Race to Bloody Race
We love cow. We eat its meat, drink its milk, and sometimes use its muscle for traditional plowing. But did you know, in Madura, East Java, people get more creative. They use cows to walk a tradition called karapan sapi (bull race).
War Submarine Tour in Monkasel
