City Giant


Again I bring you the image of my city development. The apartment (big building in the photograph) rise in the middle of common house groups. It looks like a Giant compare to surroundings. For certain people to look at this image say that it is a common thing. But I think for Bandung my city it is rather unusual because the city from my opinion suited being called as modern village or small modern city rather than using metropolitan city element (the apartment). Because it used to be a village a long time ago, placed in higher land (approx. 709 meters from sea surface) and surrounded by mountains. But the local government seems to be changing the goal of city development don’t they? Following the modernization? Globalization?

Food Selling Cart


This is the food selling cart of most popular and most favorite snack food for mostly Indonesia People, which is called "Gorengan" or in English we can say Fried Snack. It is being sold using cart just like in the photograph and peddling around the neighborhood or in the public street.
The snack consist of:
-Fried 'banana covered with flour' which is called "Pisang Goreng"
-Fried 'tofu mix with sprout covered with flour' which is called "Tahu Isi Goreng"
-Fried 'fermented soybean cake covered with flour' which is called "Tempe Goreng"
-Fried 'cabbage mix with carrot and flour' which is called "Bakwan Goreng"
-Fried 'cassava' which is called "Singkong Goreng"
and many other kind.
For each kind, if you have 50 cents (us currency) you will get 7 until 9 pieces depending the place where you buy the "Gorengan". Quite delicious food but greasy because of cooking oil.
