The Super Fast Ladies


The Super Fast Ladies, originally uploaded by repin.

Ahem, and yes I was with three beautiful ladies on one lucky day of 29th April, 2007. And this picture was taken at a rest area at KM19 on the Jakarta - Bandung highway. And Bu Lasteri is the lady 3rd from left - the fastest driver I ever encountered ! I pretended to smile in the pic , by the way. The R & R area here is fabulous...to quote my daughter's frequent remarks...its kool ! Why ? because we have starbucks...convenient stores...gas station...eating outlets and parking lots of course. Nonetheless, our trip to Bandung from Jakarta was super fast...and Bandung is a shopping paradise...too many factory outlets to mention. As usual I only remembered the restaurants.........kool !

First sign of life....for shoppers !

For travelers to Bandung, life is shopping...and more shopping. Well, it was on the 29th of April when I had the chance to travel by road from Jakarta to Bandung on a day long visit. This chance outing was made possible by Ibu Lasteri in her friend's nissan x-trail. The journey to Bandung was indeed a super fast drive. Reason : Bu Lasteri was the driver and I can bet she must be the fastest driver ever !!! I could not believed it; she just went zip zapping thru traffic along the highway which put all men drivers to shame ! and of course , I walked out of the SUV later in Bandung more than a little bit shaken after the ordeal. Only the excellent padang food at selera bundo calmed my nerves. And one thing good that happened was that I had lost my appetite for shopping ! The experience had no effect on my other half though. More on Jakarta to Bandung trip later; but please view photos in flickr.
