"Bandung" The place where I belong

Hi
I'm Rachma, this post will guide you and help you to know The place (city in Indonesia) where I come from which is Bandung. Bandung is a city surrounding by mountain areas with chill temperature. Details of Bandung you can visit here WIKIPedia. Wikipedia will give you the general information of my town and WIKITravel to give you bunch of details and lists of data if you want visit Bandung.

Usually friends and people who know me they will ask where is Bandung ? is it far from Jakarta (the capital city of Indonesia) and I have just always answered actually Bandung is just 2 hours drive from Jakarta since today we have the highway connect between the cities and Bandung is the capital city of West Java province.
as we can see here, in below map
C is Jakarta and A is Bandung.

Bandung has also famous attractions and mostly people visit Bandung to go for holiday on weekends for foods hunting and shopping. One of the famous attractions is mount Tangkuban Perahu and Kawah Putih.
