\nInfrared shot outside my hotel window in Hyatt Regency Bandung. This place is hot and sunny, yes it is.<\/p>\n


\nThis is how you fly a kite.<\/p>\n


\nShady business.<\/p>\n


\nNo, not Tanjung Bungah…<\/p>\n


\nI forgot to include this in the last set. There are buskers everywhere, and they come to cars waiting in traffic to play them songs. Except that these dudes actually alighted our bus.<\/p>\n

They played Peter Pan – Mungkin Nanti. Good effort… if they didn’t forget the lyrics halfway through the song!<\/p>\n

Another part of the itinerary was Tangkuban Perahu, a dormant volcano. We took a bus up halfway, and got on open-air lorries for the second half. If you thought Genting cabbies and buses were skilled, wait till you see these! In addition to the turns, they have stalls adorning the roads too.<\/p>\n


\nGoing up the turns.<\/p>\n


\nClimb for a better view. Being a volcano, you’d think it would be pretty hot; that was not the case. In fact, it was chilly, because of the high altitude.<\/p>\n


\nThe village.<\/p>\n


\nI overheard a tourist say, “Is that Linda Onn?<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Yes it’s true, Ayu<\/a>, you did look like her.<\/p>\n


\nHungry?<\/p>\n


\nOur neighbors are pyromaniacs.<\/p>\n


\nYes, he was actually trying to sell dart guns!<\/p>\n


\nStraight from the horse’s mouth.<\/p>\n


\nEruptions make for rocks.<\/p>\n


\nRock makes for an Eruption. (The pun would be cooler if there was a Eddie Van Halen Peavey Wolfgang somewhere there.)<\/p>\n


\nLike a chocolate cone.<\/p>\n


\nInfrared with my Canon Powershot A520!<\/p>\n


\nThe biggest crater of Tangkuban Perahu.<\/p>\n


\nAll that was left was some sulphur deposits. The gases kept rising and fouling the air, though.<\/p>\n


\nFisheye me and a really cheap jacket I bought in the shopping mall next to the hotel I stayed in.<\/p>\n


\nsmashpOp<\/a> and the volcano. And maybe some sulphur release, too.<\/p>\n
