🇮🇩 Is BANDUNG worth the visit in 2024? 

*I like the weather in Bandung. It's a cool city.👍👌🙏*

Vacation spots in Bandung are scattered in the north and south. You’ve got cafes at the top of the hills in Dago and Lembang, Kawah Putih, craters, plus strawberry and tea plantations, and hot springs in Ciwidey. Bandung is surrounded by mountains, so it’s known for its veggie-based food, making it pretty vegetarian-friendly. The locals in West Java are Sundanese, and the text at the museum was in Sundanese, not Indonesian.

The writing on the wall is in the Sundanese ethnic language, which is still used today as a communication tool among Sundanese people, especially in West Java province. Sundanese is the second-largest ethnic group in Indonesia after the Javanese. Bandung is the capital of West Java, and its main ethnic group is Sundanese. Every province in Indonesia has its own ethnic language.

Okay so, allow me to explain some things that you might be missing. 1. Jakarta is in fact always been the capital of indonesia since the dutch era (batavia) but soon to be changed though since we are in a process of building the new capital city. And culturally west java and jakarta are different. West java are the home for the sundanese tribe which the language was seen at the video (the one you didn't understand) and jakarta is the home for the betawi tribe speaking mainly betawinese. 2. Gedung sate is the office for the governor of west java so you actually was inside a governor palace. 3. There's a famous dutch bakery in braga street where they still serve items all the way since the colonials time. 4. Bandung is in literal crater of an ancient mountain and it used to be a lake. So it explains the cool breeze that you have in bandung So there you go, it might not be all because I'm not living in bandung but as fellow west javan citizen i think i can give a little insight of our provincial capital. Oh and by the way you guys should definitely visit jogjakarta since it's the only monarchy (yes monarchy) under a republic state.

9:45 indeed it's teh talua.. which litterally means "egg tea".. so no wonder when you said it's similar to egg coffee. Typically this kind of drink I believe is originated from west sumatra and you can find anywhere wherever there's padang/minang restaurant or little shop. Because the shop (kedai pak ciman) you visited is specialized in west sumatran food. I know because my office is just a few buildings from it.

Bandung is my favorit city in Indonesia, Cuz the weather,the food,the city vibe,and so many beautiful nature around bandung , White crater is one of the beautiful place you should visit in bandung

Use Indonesian titles and upload videos from 4pm to 7pm to increase viewership. Have a great trip in Indonesia 🇮🇩

FYI The writing on the monument is in sundanese ethnic/ tribe language, In Fact: there are 583 languages and dialects spoken by the different ethnic groups in Indonesia. Indonesia people use Bahasa Indonesia language as their national language to communicate and unite people across Indonesia, because every indonesia region has its own language, I would say Bahasa Indonesia is like "mini-english" , we use english to communicate with people from different countries, but in indonesia they use Bahasa to communicate with indonesian people from different region, so at least most of indonesia people they speak minimum 2 languages (1 Ethnic/ tribe Language + 1 Bahas Indonesia) and also they can speak english but in various level, even in the same island of java from jakarta (Betawi Ethic), West Java (Sundanese Ethnic), Cetral Java to East Java (Javanese Ethnic) they speak totally different languanges and they use Bahasa to communicate with each other, even myself, i was born and raised as sundanese i have to use bahasa when I visit jakarta or central java to communicate with people, but when i visit bandung i can use sundanese language because they can understand it :) but now in this modern era some indonesian people can speak 3 or 4 languages and cross-cultural marriage become one of the factors, e.g. their parents are coming from different ethic/ tribe so their kids can speak different ethic languages, and enjoy your trip! Cheers :)

Hope that you guys have had a good time and a pleasant stay in Bandung.

You have to visit Cikole Lembang, West Bandung🤩

Jakarta has its own special provincial region called Daerah Khusus Ibukota/DKI (Special Capital Region) which is only one city and will be change to DK (Special Region) since Indonesia is moving the Capital city to Nusantara in Kalimantan (Borneo Island). The sentences in the Monument is not Bahasa Indonesia, even if you are a master in Bahasa Indonesia you will not be able to translated them because they are in "Sundanese" which is the local West Java language.

Hello, I’m from Bandung and I often visit the places you featured in your video. However, your content makes me want to explore the city again at the weekend with my family.

Java has various regional languages in each province, for example DKI Jakarta speaks Betawi, Banten speaks Sundanese Banten, West Java speaks Sundanese and Central Java, East Java and Yogyakarta speak Javanese. These languages are regional languages with the national language of Indonesian. The same applies to provinces on islands other than Java. Generally, Indonesians are polyglot: National Language (Bahasa Indonesia), Regional Language (Sundanese, Javanese, Malay, Balinese, Minang and others), and the third is International Language. Indonesia has 716 regional languages.

Try to visit Lembang that's area with huge tea garden, so relaxing

You are in Bandung, you must visit the Ciwidey tea plantation,

Jakarta has long history...... previously was known as 'Sunda Kelapa' a very strategic port since around the 10th Century.......in circa 1525 ,the Portuguese takes over.....in 1527 ,prince Fatahillah (Cirebon Sultanate) ,fought the Portuguese ,and won the war. Then called the city 'Jayakarta' ,meaning City of victory........About a Century later ,when the Dutch occupy ,it was named Batavia ,based on the indegenious ethnic Betawi. The Dutch also made the city as centre port........ After the proclamation of independence (17 -8 -1945) ,it is decided that Jakarta (Jayakarta) be the capital city ........ During war against Allied Forces (Dutch + British) in 1945-1949 ,the city was taken and made as base city by the Allied Forces...... Indonesia moved it's capital city to Jogjakarta ,where the Sultan allows the Government to use all facility......so ,despite being in West Java ,Jakarta is considered as it's own Province.......... That writtings in the Bandung Monument is in Sundanese language ...... Bandung is also incredible....as the Allied Forces enter Bandung , the people prefers to burn their houses ,rather than give it to colonizers........

Enjoy my hometown guys!

WELCOME TO BANDUNG MISS

It used to snow and hail there but now it rarely happens for a long time

👍💪🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨

If you want authentic food from Bandung, you should try the food stall "Bu Imas". It is located in the town square of Bandung, not far from there. It is very busy with local people.

Since hundred years ago..Bandung was called Paris Van Java

Present

16:22 I apologize for what she’s doing; many Indonesians don’t know about privacy and how rude to filming someone without ask permission

Go to white crater ....😊

Gedung Sate serves as the official office of the Governor of West Java Province and is not a museum, therefore, there are frequent demonstrations protesting government policies.

Bandung , west java , etnis sunda

Bandung is West Java province capital and not Jakarta cause Jakarta is it's own province which called DKI (Daerah Khusus Ibu Kota) Jakarta. Jakarta isn't west Java

7:18 Gedung Sate isnt a museum. Only part of the building is a museum. The main building itself is the office for the West Java Governor.

By the way if you're leaving Bandung and heading to Jogjakarta. You might try the Argo Wilis panoramic train ride

It's better to provide Indonesian subtitles, so that those who watch it who don't speak English can understand better 🙏

Because of the international chefs like Martin Yan, Chef Wan, Tony Bourdain, Gordon Ramsay & others, Gula Melaka is more well known worldwide. Maple syrup too can be made into Gula Melaka, its simply the solidification process of the boiled sap.

Wow amazing review, can you two visit our nature school at Bandung :) ?

Why did you put the Malaysian flag on it? Bandung from Indonesia

The flag had been a question mark...😮

Come on, come to IKN (Nusantara), it's a very beautiful and clean city, I'm sure you don't want to part with that city. PLEASE

Sila is NOT please in bahasa, in bahasa Please = Tolong/mohon. Depending on the context. Which is a bit confusing for you because "Tolong" can also translated in English to "Help", again depending on the context. Bahasa Indonesia is different than Malay, so you might just confused it to Malay because Sila in Malay = Please in English. 😅

i love u sis/sir

3:18 not because your knowledge of Indonesian language is bad, but it is a regional language (local language), not Indonesian language 😊 . Sorry my english bad, from google translate 😅

nowadays Bandung is hot.

Hallo.. On my channel I also discuss the city of Bandung. Nice video,beautyfull city

go to lembang or ciwidey 👍

Is not gula malaka but is gula jawa

In old Malay, Bandung = mixture/combination, hence the Sirap Bandung named after. Bandung in Indonesia from the word Bendungan = water dam.

2:56 that's not Bahasa but Sundanese it's different from Bahasa so basically when you guys trying to understand the plaque it's like you guys said you learn English but you're trying to read German 😂 wich yeah you can find similar word but wouldn't understand all, it's Native language from west Java spoken by The Sundanese people wich around 37 Million of Indonesian are Sundanese ethnic and im one of them, we have our own language, writing system, culture and all that are different from other ethnic in Indonesia

Where are you from guys.?

70% of Malaysians are of Indonesian descent

Go ciwidey😂😂

Try indonesia Train

You put the wrong flag in your title. You put the Malaysia flag Indonesian flag is 🇮🇩

the monument is not in indonesian language, that's sunda language

Did you really put a Malaysian flag on a Bandung video? Oh boyyy, 😝 Indonesians are generally meek and forgiving, we tend to overlook all kinds of offenses and brush them off like it’s no big deal… But *never* when it comes to slapping a Malaysian flag on anything Indonesian 🤣 Don’t feel too bad for not understanding what’s written on the wall, though-it’s not in Indonesian. It’s actually Sundanese, the local language (not dialect) spoken mainly in West Java, where Bandung is the capital. And just to be clear: *Sundanese* and not Sudanese. If you're curious about the meaning, here's basically what the first part of the poem says: ᮜᮨᮙᮂ ᮘᮩᮀᮠᮁ ᮊᮥ ᮘᮨᮁᮊᮂ, ᮜᮍᮤᮒ᮪ ᮕᮤᮔᮥᮂ ᮊᮥ ᮛᮂᮙᮒ᮪ ᮑ ᮙᮤᮜᮤᮊ᮪ ᮠᮤᮓᮨᮕ᮪: ᮝᮛᮤᮞᮔ᮪ ᮒᮤ ᮕᮛ ᮊᮛᮥᮠᮥᮔ᮪ ᮔᮥ ᮍᮛᮊ᮪ᮞ ᮊᮥ ᮌᮝᮦ, ᮔᮥ ᮛᮥᮙᮝᮒ᮪ ᮊᮥ ᮓᮥᮃ ᮔᮌᮢᮤ ᮔᮥ ᮓᮤᮠᮛᮤᮛᮤᮀᮊᮩᮔ᮪ ᮓᮤᮔ ᮓᮅᮔ᮪ ᮃᮝᮤ ᮒᮨᮙ᮪ᮕᮒ᮪ ᮄᮙᮥᮒ᮪ ᮘᮛᮩᮊᮂ ᮒᮥᮁ ᮞᮦᮝᮥ ᮊᮌᮥᮙ᮪ᮘᮤᮛᮃᮔ᮪ ᮆᮃᮁ ᮊᮝᮞ᮪ ᮎᮄ ᮝᮜᮥᮍᮔ᮪ ᮓᮤᮔ ᮞᮨᮜ-ᮞᮨᮜ ᮘᮒᮥ ᮑ ᮕᮥᮞᮊ ᮃᮔ᮪ᮏᮩᮔ᮪: ᮝᮒᮨᮞ᮪ᮔ ᮒᮨᮌᮜ᮪ ᮞᮤ ᮃᮝᮒ᮪-ᮃᮝᮒ᮪ The earth rich with blessings, the sky full of grace This belongs to the living: a gift from ancestors past Tended through labor, nurtured in prayer This land encircled by bamboo leaves A place of joy and endless laughter Bustling like a river rushing over stones This is your inheritance: where borders meet fields of green Like a meadow from a fairytale dream.

are you australian
