Bandung, Changing In..

I was born in Bandung, so I call it my hometown. I don’t really know about Bandung as well as people who live in there, because I used to move a lot town to town. But Bandung is so popular that almost everyone knows about it.
Bandung is a capital city of West Java province of Indonesia. It called Parijs van Java, because Bandung has many luxurious hotels, restaurants, cafes and European boutiques just like in Paris. You can see it in Braga Street. It also called Flower-City, because there were so many flowers in Bandung. Bandung was so green and so beautiful. It was, but not now. The weather becomes warmer (but many people from Jabotabek still say that Bandung is cold, colder than their place, I suggest), you can see many bunch of trash everywhere, and many buildings has been built (that makes Bandung doesn’t look like Paris anymore, which is so beautiful with its old style).

I think Bandung is full of creative people. Many of them make something they like by their own (indie). Such as music band, distro (young urban outfitters store), artistic building, café, many things. It is great, because the price is not too expensive (makes it differs from metropolis city) and fit many young people in Bandung. It makes Bandung always full on weekends. Many people come from outside of town to relax in Bandung, to shop in Factory Outlet (FO), distro, and mall. It is really annoying, because the traffic jam always happen, and it’s so crowded everywhere that makes citizen of Bandung too lazy to go out to downtown and enjoy their weekend.
Bandung is still developing. Many plans are still working on. I hope Bandung will not lose its marks, which are cold weather, green with the big trees every sidewalk, and the old style look. Thanks for posting, your writing so far is good.
