#5 Bandung City: 200 years of Everlasting Beauty
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
Let us play an experiment. If you have acquaintances in Bandung, call them up and ask this question: “When is the date of Bandung’s birthday?” Most probably, they will not be able to answer the question. Or you can just ask anyone with a Bandung ID or claim themselves as Bandung citizens: I can guarantee you that most of them–if not all–will not be able to answer correctly.
Not that I’d blame them. For me to blame that kind of attitude is like the pot calling the kettle black because in all honesty, even I had to search the answer on the Internet first since I literally did not have a single clue whatsoever about the correct date of Bandung’s birthday. Shameful, I know… though it allays my shame somewhat when I realize that most people in Bandung wouldn’t know it anyway, hahaha.
