Bandung is a city filled with many interesting things, be that good or bad, and a large part of what makes it so is the people inhabiting it. Bandung’s citizens are–for a lack of better words… colorful. There are many stereotypes flying around in regards to how a Bandung citizen is expected to be: we are thought as a friendly bunch, most of our women are considered as (the key word: most) enchanting belles, and the overall personality of our people is considered as aloof and relaxed, though can also be indifferent.

Agh…, it is a hard thing to put into words. The best way to understand the people of Bandung is to meet with them on your own, which is why an event like KASKUS Bandung Gathering is a great place to go to.

I get the feeling that the folks down at the Bosscha Observatory wouldn’t be too thrilled hearing someone actually calling their place a “Tourism Spot”, since I am positive that the last thing they could ever possibly want is some irresponsible people chatting loudly inside Bosscha’s halls and making a mess out of everything with empty snacks or Coca Cola bottles. I suppose, that’s why they are pretty strict with Bosscha’s visiting rules.

Regardless, it is an extremely important place for not just Bandung but also Indonesia–an importance that is shown by its status as one of the must-protected sites in Indonesia as regulated by the Indonesian government beginning circa 2008. It is just as important place as it is fascinating; a visit to Bosscha should definitely be on the top of your must-do list while in Bandung.

The 24th of March marks one of the most famous days in the long history of Bandung as a city. It was an event so historically important that a national song was written about it–a song that is often sung in numerous official and ceremonial events all over Indonesia. The 24th of March, 1946, was the day of “Bandung Lautan Api”, or Bandung in the Ocean of Fire.
