HAPPY LEBARAN


Well, I should say to you all, everybody in the whole planets! HAPPY LEBARAN!! Apologize body and soul! in Indonesia we usually say "minal aidzin wal fa idzin, maafkan lahir dan batin" Here in Indonesia we celebrate it with so many foods like: ketupat, opor ayam, rendang, gulai, tape hitam, kue-kue manis, rengginang, and many many more food and delicacy.

 How I love Indonesia, especially Bandung for its food. Bandung people are very creative. If you go to Bandung, you will become chubby within a week, because there are so many food-stalls here. And so many fashion outlets in Bandung. We have batagor bandung, or oncom, or colenak, or serabi mini. COME TO BANDUNG, WEST JAVA, INDONESIA my friends! It`s like living in the food-paradise!!
