Cafe Kupu-Kupu at Cimahi


Here is the front facade of Cafe Kupu-Kupu I was talking about in yesterday's post. The building is relatively small, but it has nice gardens in the front and backyard.

Tampak depan dari Kafe Kupu-Kupu di Jalan Kolonel Masturi, Cimahi. Kafe ini tidak terlalu besar, tapi tamannya cukup tertata apik dan asri.

And as I said, it is a reading cafe with plenty of books and magazines that you can borrow and read while enjoying your foods and drinks. The collections seem to be rotated and updated regularly. I can always find new tittles whenever I go there.

By the way, kupu-kupu is the Indonesian word for butterfly. That's why you see butterfly ornament on the column.

Sebagian dari koleksi buku Kafe Kupu-Kupu yang bisa dipinjam dan dibaca oleh pengunjung. Buku-buku ini tampaknya diputar (diganti dan ditambah) secara teratur. Selalu ada judul-judul baru setiap kali saya berkunjung ke sana.

Pancake at Cafe Kupu-Kupu


The pancake, served with a scoop of ice cream and slices of banana, I had sometime ago at Cafe Kupu-Kupu. Cafe Kupu-Kupu is located on Kolonel Masturi street, in the scenic northern hills of Cimahi. I like this cafe because it's a reading cafe with plenty of books and magazines that we can borrow and read while we're enjoying the beverages and foods. It's pretty close to where I live too.

Kue panekuk disajikan dengan es krim dan potongan pisang yang saya pesan di Kafe Kupu-Kupu di Jalan Kolonel Masturi, Cimahi utara, beberapa waktu yang lalu. Saya suka ke kafe ini karena di kafe ini menyediakan banyak buku dan majalah yang bisa dipinjam dan dibaca sambil kita menikmati makanan dan minuman.

Air Pollution Meter on Jalan Setiabudi


This is an air pollution (pollutant) meter on Dr. Setiabudi street in the north of Bandung. Well, not the whole structure is, only the bottom part. The big LCD screen on top of it is a billboard. As you can see, the instrument is out of order and does not read and display what it's supposed to read and display.

The municipal government has installed a number of pollution (pollutant) meters in several locations in the city recently to let the public know the pollutant levels in the areas where they are installed. Unfortunately many of them, like this one, seem to be out of order.

Alat pengukur polusi udara di jalan Dr Setiabudi di utara Bandung. Alat ini dipasang di beberapa tempat di kota Bandung untuk memberitahukan kepada masyarakat tingkat polusi udara yang ada di tempat itu. Sayangnya, kebanyakan alat itu tampaknya rusak dan tidak berfungsi.
