Souvenirs from Bandung

Just came back from Jakarta/Bandung trip with Noni last Wednesday. It was a hectic 5 days and 4 nights (2 nights in Jakarta 2 in Bandung) holidays cum shopping trip because both of us are not shopping freaks. Anyway bought a few things like the rest of the group we were with. Best of all look at these beauties as Bandung is a highland like our own Cameron Highlands but cooler and larger area with a unique feature of rich black volcanic soils and their beautiful terraced padi fields. More of those beauties in my next blog.


emmm...strawberries! and the purple ones they said were raspberries
but I thought they looked like mulberries cos I have the plants
n have seen the fruits..
but those fruits were dipped in sugar..so its not their natural tastes




fascinated by the bright orange colour of their pumpkins so bought

2 small ones of different colours





avocado!..3 sizes..these are one of the largest but longish type


but I saw bigger ones which were more expensive..anyway

dont like the taste of avocado only bought them for the seeds





smallest and roundest of the lots...





medium size and rounder..green when I bought them but


changed to dark purple colour 3 days later...





strawberry plant!...the only one I found selling on Tangkuban Perahu


an active volcano in Bandung area..
