Bogor Adventures (part 1)

[Personal snapshot. Simply edited with PicsArt]

     It's been only two days since I arrived in 'the city of 1000 "share taxis"; angkot'. But somehow, I already feel attached to this city. I'm not trying to guesstimate anything; whether later in the (near) future I'll become this city's resident or not. Let's just wait and see patiently for anything to come up.

    Yeah, I guess I made a right decision to go here by myself with my confusing traveler way. I'm enjoying jostled against the other passengers on the crowded bus and angkot, even enjoying rode a wrong angkot route. Ha~ XD. Seriously, it's so much fun rather than sitting peacefully in a moving car, finally fall asleep for boredom; just like I usually do.

     Honestly, Bogor is not a 'perfect' city. My absolute choice is still Yogyakarta :D. I love peaceful and village-ish atmosphere, hence when it comes to frenetic places like Jakarta, Bandung or Bogor, I feel a little bit disturbed. But well, I'm sure I can force myself to stand with it. Moreover, my future campus is located in a slightly village-ish area, thus I guess I'm going to be just fine staying/studying there. (cont'd)

Expenses/Bus-Angkot Routes:

1. From Jalan Jambore Raya, Cibubur to Jalan Raya Bogor (take angkot T15; red; fare: IDR3000)

2. From Jakarta to Bogor via Jalan Raya Bogor (take Kampung Rambutan-Bogor bus; any color; fare: IDR10.000)

3. From Baranangsiang Bus Terminal (Bogor) to IPB Dramaga

          a. Take angkot 03 accross BOKER's (Botani Square) intersection (green; fare:   

          IDR3000) and stop at LALADON angkot terminal

          b. Take angkot 'Kampus Dalam' in front of LALADON and stop at BERLIN* (blue; fare: 

          IDR3000)

    

*BERLIN is a specific term that IPB students made to decribe a small back gate in their campus. It's closer to cut accross IPB from BERLIN rather than from the front gate.
