Sore throat, but the trip must go on! (day 1)
Hello bloggers! Back here again (finally). I know I haven't posted anything since like, forever, but I'm here with more stories now :)
I just got back from Bandung yesterday. Me and my friends from Medifive had a trip, and it wass FUN! I wasn't actually very healthy at the moment. I had sore throat last sunday, and it got worse on monday. I had fever and a painfully annoying headache. Tuesday was the trip day, and hell no I ain't missin this tripppp!
So with all the help of my dearest friends, blasting me with all the medicine and vitamins, I suit myself up for the trip! Haha. One of the worst parts of those medicine thing is that I was forced to drunk a bottle of chicken broth. Composition was 99% chicken and 1% caramel. Trust me, you wouldn't want to know what it tastes like. PURE EVIL.
Oh, and we did get to make our own 'spaghetti carbonara' and potato wedges. tastes great!
We had like 2 hours preparing ourself for dinner, which is in Lisung, Dago Pakar. The view was great! Minus point: larons everywhere. Laron is a kind of insect, I think it's their season now, so they're definitely everywhere. Oh, one of the strange things about Lisung is that the place seems very traditional, but their foods are mostly western. I think the food's quite good, and it's not very expensive either.
After dinner we went to Motzen Steak & Ale. It's a cozy hangout spot, like a cafe. They have western food and liquor. I tried lots of liquor back there in bandung haha. Let's list it over: Sex On The Beach, Lychee Martini, Flying Bikini (weird huh?), and Lychee Flavoured Beer. SOTB and Lychee martini tastes great, Lychee flavoured beer was okay, and Flying bikini is superbly superb. FB is not superb of the taste, but of how they serve, and how you drink it. I tell ya, the liquor is flaming hot! And by flaming, I mean literally ON FIRE. Actually the right way of drinking it is by sipping it with a straw while the flame is burning, but it was freakin horrifying. So my friend told the bartender to turn the flame off, haha!
Anyway, fun experience. After motzen was back to hotel. My friends still gather up till like 3am, but I fell asleep in my room. Still, I'm not very healthy! But anyway, day 1 was fun! Umm, that's it for now. Wait up for day2!

cooking time!

Anyway, enough with that. Road to bandung took like 2 hours or so. Quite short actually, and no traffic jam! When we get there, we immediately went to Cisangkuy Yoghurt, a very famous yoghurt place in bandung. I must say the place is cozy. It's like an old house, and they have this little garden outside. Definitely a hangout spot! Oh, and one of the things I love about bandung is about fashion. I love the feeling of being able to wear shorts and beanies without having people on the streets looking at you. I'll be posting pictures of my outfit later on ;)

After cisangkuy, we went for lunch at Warung Nasi Ampera. They serve sundanese food, and I think the food tastes alright, but nothing very outstanding. Afterwards, we went to check in at our hotel, which is favehotel. It is located in Braga CityWalk, quite strategic. It's not a very big hotel, and everything is standard quality. But anyway, we got this for quite a cheap price, so no regrets!
