hello there from Gambir station here in central Jakarta so my time here in Jakarta has come to
an end we're gonna go down to Bandung and maybe stay for five days one week not really sure but
i'm standing in front of the national monument, the national monument that i've tried to go visit
two three times but every time i've been denied that's okay though that's okay this
national monument was opened in 1975 during the Suharto years but it was actually one of
Sukarno the first president's i don't know big plan to open a national monument here in indonesia
something that represents the struggle that the indonesian people had to go through to win
their independence but yeah we're about to get on this train right here and i went ahead and booked
the executive seat because well it was only like three dollars more than the economy and
i've ridden economy here in Indonesia and uh if you can avoid it you uh it's probably
best you do so let's hop on this train and see what an executive seat looks like let's do it
hello yes
how long have you been driving?
sing 2018. so you dropped her off at work yes you take her to work and then you drive yeah
what else do you do yeah i uh look after a fish, oh you look after an office? yeah yeah like this this
this yes what is this
like a catfish but don't have.. a fish yeah
thank you for talking with me all right now let's see if we can figure this one out
ah look at this place, this is nice
got a Starbucks oh snap you got a Lawsons okay there's the ticket counter let's go over there
today 3 30. okay i think it's okay
so i'll have to look it up later
yeah this ain't too bad i can do this
look at the seat I have that's pretty nice got the wood grain and everything
so uh I don't depart for another 45 minutes, 45 minutes you can't get on the platform
uh until an hour before your departure time so that's why you might not see many people
on here hey Instagram. Instagram? yeah okay okay all right thank you sir have a good day
this is nice this is nice i'm gonna enjoy this one plenty of leg room boom look at that
already, all right so check this out a guy that just came up and asked me what my Instagram was
i just saw his post and i clicked on his name and check this out the dude has 168,000 followers looks like he's a uh a professional motorcycle rider
what's your name? Wawan Mellon your name is Waman Mellon? yeah. nice to meet you man thank you so much thank you
that's crazy
thank you
very impressed with the service here you know i always ride the green car in japan
you pay like an extra seven to ten dollars just depending on if it's a weekday or the weekend this
is only three extra dollars to ride this car you can't beat that i mean it's clean it's spacious
you have a little tray here you got plenty of leg room yeah i'm digging it well that wasn't
too bad kind of sucks that uh i arrived and it's already dark but it was a pretty nice ride
other than spilling coffee on me and spilling my tea in my lap and getting my ass all wet
it was a pretty good trip you know when you get closer to Bandung you kind of get high up in
the mountains you start crossing over all those rice terraces and you get pretty high up there
this is the slowest moving escalator in the world
come on now we got places to go
all right i was going to call taxi but it looks like it's just
a 12-minute walk so i think we can do that
Welcome to Bandung and one thing that is uh immediately noticeable is how much
cooler it is here than Jakarta hello oh hello thank you can you speak yeah
where are you from? America, where are you from? huh where are you from Bandung uh
yeah i chose to go ahead and call it gojet because uh these sidewalks here
in Indonesia will beat the hell out of your suitcase and so it's not exactly smooth roads
all right
seventh floor going up and uh also when we got closer on this side of the station it's
uh pretty dark and uh yeah there uh wasn't a whole lot of shops open or anything so
i'll be calling it a night tonight and doing my exploring in the daytime hello hey check-in
our roof is non-smoking room good yeah
if you smoke in our room you can uh get chest don't worry about that no smoking i don't like it
looks like I'm going to the top floor how cool is that i bet i got a pretty good view
uh-oh i'm in the corner too
yo look at that that is not too bad wow
i was not expecting this i got this for three nights for like 400 and something thousand
which is cheap i'll put the price somewhere over here but i think i got upgraded to like
a suite or something look at this i got a little sofa over there it's going to
be kind of hard to see the view maybe at night but i'm up here on the 15th floor
i'm gonna have to check that out in the morning this thing's gonna have to go off
off bathroom hey not too shabby not too shabby the name of this hotel is called collection o which uh
guess it means o stands for oyo which is a chain of hotels not just in Indonesia but i think all
over southeast asia and uh they're budget hotels i've actually never stayed in one which until now
i didn't realize it was a Oyo hotel but you know what i like it i like it this is huge look at this
this is way bigger than my quarantine hotel
well look at that okay thanks for watching this is
going to be the end of this video and uh let's explore Bandung, peace
