Parisj Van Java

Bandung known as Parijs Van Java since 1920. At the first time, bandung was known as the city where the European live. The European whose live in Bandung run their life just like when they are in Europe. They still depend on their culture as if they were in Europe among our native traditional culture. Their house, their way of life, food, even their dress just like the other European whose live in Europe. It was happened when jaarbeurs, in other word, we could say as Pasar Malam in Indonesian language. Event where people gathering together at Aceh street, it was full of live music, theater, drama and else. The event held in June to July every year. Not only that, Braga street is also the reason why Bandung known as Parisj Van Java. There are lot of building designed and built by European Architect. Architect called it as Art Deco, just like we seen in Gedung Sate. At Braga, people buy and sell dress and other commercial thing those were famous in Europe too. Neither in the morning nor in the evening, Bandung full of European people do their activity, because of that, Bandung known as Parisj van Java.

Bandung is also known as city with full of special culture that makes it become the city where tourist spent their vacation. Not only from outside, Indonesian people, especially whose not from west java, like to spent their vacation in Bandung. In 80’s, bandung was known from its “Kelom Geulis”, honestly, writer did not know about this thing. In 90’s, center of jeans, Cihampelas and also center of shoes, Cibaduyut, become the place that most people visited just to have some fresh air or walking around to have a nice weekend. Also Cibadak mall that provide shirts, trousers, and other dress with cheap price. And now on, Bandung known as heaven for who love shopping, with its factory outlets, those sell fashion needs and other wardrobe for people who really care about how to be fashionable. Not only factory outlet, there are also distribution outlet those sell wardrobe with touch of “creativity” from the young. Bandung is well known as place for who want to try many weird food, weird because not all of the food is available in other province of Indonesia. Food like batagor, oncom, peuyeum, keripik, and brownies. That is why Bandung become place where people like to spent their vacation.
