Reach the airport quite late…. Flight delayed for an hour.
The airport is so small, was told it is a military port, just been commercialized not long…. Thnx to Airasia!
Bandung being a place famous for good weather and shopping for Jakarta people, so our first stop is the most famous fashion shop!!! RUMAH MODE
