The apartment is on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. There’s also a shopping centre just down the street with a supermarket, some quite good restaurants and some stores.

We really enjoy living here. Do come over and have a look next time you are in the town. I’ll wait.

Dear Wendy,

I expect that you are packing right now, preparing your luggage and everything. Hope you take something warm to be worn; I don’t know about Vancouver, but it’s quite chilly in Bandung nowadays. I’m afraid I can’t meet at the airport on your arrival next week because I have a game to be played that day. My volleyball team is going to regional competition, and I am the tosser of my team. Here are directions to my house. I’ll send you a map of my area later. From HuseinSastranegara airport, you can take airport taxi, the blue one. Just give the driver my address and he will take you right away. However, if you want to have a little adventure, you can take the public transportation, or “angkot”. First, you must get out of the airport and take 5 minutes’ walk toward railway road. Then, you cross the street, and find green angkot with route St Hall – Cimahi. Get on this angkot and get off in front of a housing complex called “Taman Mutiara”, it’s across Cibabat Hospital. That is the area where I live. Find some “ojeg” driver at the gate, and give him my address. Oh ya, “ojeg” is a motorcycle driver who can take you to your destination with some price. It’s like taxi driver, but it uses motorcycle. So, there you go. You can take a taxi or angkot for more adventure. Have a safe trip now! I’ll see you next week.

Love,

Tazkia.
