Bandung | November 27, 2011
As in many Indonesia cities we visited, on Sunday mornings Bandung becomes a car-free city. Don’t expect a totally empty city though as only some streets are forbidden for cars.

And don’t expect emptiness neither, as on Sunday mornings local citizens enjoy music, strolling, food and meeting friends. Read more »

Jakarta - Bandung | November 26, 2011
During weekends, the road from Jakarta to Bandung can be jammed. Many people had warned us: it might take somewhere between 2 and 6 hours to make the 120 kilometer trip. Reason for the city’s popularity is not only its distinctly milder climate, but also the plethora of factory outlet stores that fill the city. People don’t go to see Tropical Modernity during weekends, but we did.

On the agenda a couple of disclosed meetings, a lot being on-the-move, spending few days in Jakarta and connecting with old and future friends. The results? Pay attention to future publications and projects on this site. For now, time for flying, from Jakarta to Denpasar (the province capital of Bali) and aerophotography. Read more »
