Well, we spent the whole day in Bandung shopping away before we took a 3 hour ride back to Jakarta. Reaching Jakarta with an hour and a half to go before we needed to check into the airport, we were dropped off at ITC Mangga Dua Mall as they thought we would all like to do some last minute shopping. Actually most of us had already outdone ourselves in Bandung and were more exhausted than ever.
When we went into the mall, we felt rather claustrophobic as the place was packed with people. The place was stuffy and the air was stale; the small group of us unanimously felt that we should just find a place away from the crowd and just chill till it was time to board the bus. To our dismay, it started raining heavily and there was no shelter or shade for us to walk under to make our way to the bus when it was time. And ... as if it wasn't enough that we got drenched by the rain, we were caught in heavy traffic. After sitting in the aircon bus for another 1 1/2 hour, our wet clothes were already dried by the time we reached the airport. So, it was no wonder that most of us got sick when we got back to Malaysia; some of us took about a week or two to fully recover. I even had one friend who got hospitalised as she had high fever!
We enjoyed ourselves most in Bandung, especially shopping and taking photographs whereas there wasn't really much to do in Jakarta. For this final part, here are some photos taken in Bandung.

Tripping Jakarta & Bandung - Part 3
Our next location was to visit Tangkuban Perahu which is an active volcano and carries a local legend. Click HERE to read more.
Amidst the scenery, we came across quite a few food vendors in the vicinity. Most of the stalls are tiny with a simple setup as you can see from the photos, carried around on the vendor's shoulders as they move from area to area.
