Pony Ride

Around the Cilaki Park that I posted yesterday, you can see these horsemen/ponymen offering pony ride. For a small fare, you could ride these ponies around the park and its vicinities. Because these horses are small (that's why I call them ponies), usually only children ride them. The horsemen/ponymen would run alongside the horse/pony to keep the young rider from falling over.

Cilaki Park

Cilaki Park (Taman Cilaki) is strategically located on Cilaki Street, near Gedung Sate (the historic West Java Gobernatorial office mansion), Museum Pos Indonesia (Indonesian Postal Museum), the Museum of Geology, and the Lapangan Gasibu (The Gasibu Square).

Bandung's 200th Anniversary Special Edition: Time Travel Video 1810 - 2010

Today, 25 September 2010, is the 200th anniversary of the city of Bandung. A lot events are currently taking place in the city to celebrate the auspicious day. Instead of reporting those events, however, today I'd like to take you back in time to see what life in the city was like in the old days with these three select videos. The first and second one are movies comparing the old Bandung and the city in 2008 (they have a nice music and song in Dutch). These videos are coutesy of mybandoeng at YouTube. The third video is a silent movie depicting a fragment of life in the city in the early 20th century, courtesy of allbandung.com at YouTube.

Please enjoy the time travel.
