little java

last long weekend, (just like other people in Jakarta) me and my family having a trip to Bandung. It was nearly accident trip because we are not really planning to go there. but then, my mom insisted to go out of town, so here we go!

me and my mom search a hotel through the internet. then we found a hotel, a really nice hotel (no, i'm not paid to advertise this place). it was located in Lembang, so the weather is pretty cold there. what interesting for my family was the architecture, the place is designed in authentic javanese furniture. oh, the hotel named Jadul Village.

the restaurant, located in higher place, so the view was really amazing. and yes, it was surrounded by rice field :D

this is the spa area.one word, lovely.

we just stayed for 1 night. and the next day.. we're going to "Kampung Gajah" which located near the hotel. i have no idea what's inside this place but since we don't know where to go, we tried this place. well, it is actually just like a theme park where you can ride go-kart, ATV, horse, and many more.
so i tried one of the ride, SEGWAY.

what is a segway?

a two wheeled self-balancing personal transport

how to use it?

To move forward or backward on the Segway, the rider just leans slightly forward or backward. To turn left or right, the rider simply moves the LeanSteer frame left or right.

The Segway can take you places that a car or bicycle can't - including inside many stores, office buildings, businesses, airports, elevators, and trains. Although they're ideal for short jaunts, Segway can travel as far as 24 miles/38 km on a single battery charge, depending on terrain, payload, and riding style.

i have heard about this thing, and i've seen it in Agent Cody Banks movie (yes, it was ages ago). for me, it was a REALLY NICE RIDE!
i never thougt that this ride is really useful. i already imagine to utilize this thing in many ways if i have one ;)

meet my sis and my bro ;)

for me, the rent price of this ride is slightly high, 100.000 rupiahs for 15 minutes ride. yet, it worth for a try :) bet you'll be craving to have one..
