Bandung

Bandung is my hometown. This City is located in West Java,Indonesia. Bandung also is the capital city of West Java.
Bandung is one of the city that located in highlands. It's surrounded by several mountains such as, Tangkuban Parahu mt. on the north side and Geulis mt. on the south side. This condition makes this city has a cool and comfortable weather
Bandung also has good education facilities. There are some of the best university in Indonesia is located at Bandung. Such as My institute now, ITB located at Ganesha street no 10, and UNPAD that located in 2 different places. One at Dipati ukur street and the other one is located at Jatinangor.
Now, Bandung has a lot of interesting places to see. Such as Cafe, Factory Outlet, and Natural recreation places. One of it is Djuanda Botanical Garden. The Djuanda Botanical Garden consist of Forest area that cover from dago pakar to Maribaya,Lembang. Not only the forest area but also 2 historical Cave. People usually called this cave as "Gua Jepang" and "Gua Belanda". These were made in the Colonialism era.
Beside three story about Bandung above, Bandung well known too as "The Musician City". Espescially indie music. The S.I.G.I.T, Homogenic, Pure Saturday, KOIL, Burgerkill and Mocca are some of it. They were born from the local Gigs / music event that was held by young people in Bandung, like example Bandung Berisik, Les Voila, Dago Festival, etc. Nowadays their popularity has extended to other city,such as Jakarta,Jogjakarta and Surabaya.
These are some short story about Bandung and that's why I like Bandung very much.

Good.
