SURVIVAL SKILLS ACTIVATED

I and my roommate Ivy woke up at 5 am in the morning to prepare ourselves for the day. As I went into the bathroom, the first drops of water had me freezing. The temperature was at 16°C! My warm Philippine body was frozen speechless. I never thought I’d be doing an #Icebucketchallenge here every single day.

Fast forward to Kartika Store: we met up with Sister Nicole and 5 other buddies there to buy some pasalubong or Souvenirs and Indonesian delicacies which Sister Nicole will be bringing back home to the Philippines. We then fetched her to the terminal. We said our goodbyes and she left us with some advices and wished us luck for our whole stay in Bandung as SEA (South East Asian) Student Teachers.

The time has come for us to be on our own, without our coordinator, our second parent. We need to be strong and independent and behaved.

\12:00 noon LUNCH:  CHALLENGE ACCEPTED\

We went to a local restaurant that serves food with cheap prices. The challenge is that we have to pay our own meal by ourselves. Basically, their food choices are all served at the table but it doesn’t mean you eat and pay all of it. You just have to choose which viand did you get and just be honest to pay what and how many pieces you ate. The foods are very yummy and very affordable. LEZAT! One meal costs 22,000 Rupiah.

Luckily I was able to remember my food and had my first independent pay to the cashier without someone to assist me.

3:00 pm BRAGA CITY WALK
We took a walk to one of the most famous places in Bandung, the BRAGA City walk. The structures, the buildings and the ambience tell a story about somewhere in the 1900s. The place is very vintage-y and historic. You can feel the past and history living up to each of the building walls.

FRIENDS FOR KEEPS


A photo we took at the photo booth inside Braga Mall. A day well spent indeed.
After Braga, we went to Borma to buy some food and stuffs for our dorm. As we got the stuffs needed, we took ANGKOT (A cheap public transportation in Bandung) to get home. Fidya assisted us how to stop the angkot to our needed destination. If you want to stop, just shout “Kiri!” which means left/ stop on the left.
