A Full Week Journey

Hi there. Finally I found time back to blogging again. Phew.

Remember with my latest post? Well yeah, my full week vacation. I'll go make it clearly to you :) 

So me and my bestfriends went to three different cities couple week ago. It was my longest holiday ever  (seriously, EVER in MY entire LIFE). Our first destination was Jakarta. You know? Indonesian's capital city. It's the biggest, the crowded, the rudest city over all cities in Indonesia. You can find everything here, but you have to match the time if you don't want get stuck into the traffic jam. Trust me, if you want to go outside which is quite far from where you stand, you have to go really early or you'll be stuck on your vehicles for hours. 

But in Jakarta, you can find much good places to visit. At first we came here, we went to Dia - Lo - Gue Art space. Like the other art spaces, we found a lot of art stuff here. Everything looks great and well designed. They sold notes, fancy papers, tote bags, t-shirts, design books, and so on. We really lucky to saw an architecture exhibition which held by one art institute in Jakarta.

Really cool, huh? Then we came into few places like Plaza Indonesia and enjoy the great taste pancake there at Pancious restaurant and walked at Aksara book store. We also visited ITC Mangga Dua, Seaworld, Semanggi plaza (where I tasted my first burger king and wasn't got really surprised with its flavour :| ), and Pasar Senen (where we found some cool 2ndhand stuffs there)

Our 2nd destination was Bandung. It took 2-3 hours from Jakarta with car. It was my 3rd visit to Bandung since my last trip when I still 17th years old. Yeah, it's been a long time, I know. We visited a lot of great places too. At first we came to Paris Van Java, it's a big mall with cool decorations and architectures and we watched The Amazing Spiderman at Blitz megaplex.  

Then we went to Selasar Sunaryo's Artspace, and its cafe, Kopi Selasar. It's a cool place nearby with dago where you can enjoy the art exhibitions or just hanging out with your friends at its cafe.

Then, we also visited Maja House and Sugar & Cream rooftop cafe at sersan bajuri. It's a beautiful place and resto where you can enjoy your meals while watch a peaceful landscape. 

Then, we visited Lawangwangi Art Space, so far from where we stay, but yeah it was worth so much. It's a cool art space where you can enjoy the balance of nature and art so well. Fortunately, we came right when Incomplete Project Exhibition being held. So, yeah, we enjoyed it a lot.

We also went to Nanny's Pavillon (A Thematic cafe, I think. They have a few version of theme for cafe's decoration), it was library theme. The decorations and food utilities are cute, and vintage (so old school). 

Then we also went to Ciwalk (Cihampelas Walk) and Rumah Mode where there lies a lot of factory outlets. And we stop by at an Indian shop where they sell a lot of leather bags, Indians hat, dream catcher and all of Indian's stuff. I bought one cute dream catcher.

And our last destination was Jogjakarta. We went from Bandung to Jogja by train, and it took almost 5 hours trip to get there. We visited ArtJog which is a big art exhibition with a lot of artworks from different artists in Indonesia.  

It was my favorite one, "Perceiving" by Tara Astari Kasenda

We met Pere and Ignas, there. What a coincidence :D  

Jogjakarta is a great place to visit, everything were so amazing. The buildings, the streets, the arts, the weather. Ahh, I really love being there, though we only have one day to spent there but I satisfied, indeed.
