Arts For Sale 2008
In 1955, the Bandung Conference, the first Asian-African Conference was held in Bandung. Head of states representing twenty-nine countries and colonies from Asia and Africa attended the Conference. The conference venue was the Gedung Merdeka, the former Concordia Society building.

After my involvement of the INDONESIA PHOTOWEEK II – 2008 Seminar at the Gedung Merdeka, I had the opportunity of strolling around the Historical Asia-Afrika Street of Bandung.
I realize that this area actually is very colourful and vibrant even on a Sunday morning.
As shown here, one of art shop proprietor is busy displaying his collections for the sale of the day.

Obviously, Bandung renowned in the large stock of Dutch colonial architecture; most notably the tropical Art Deco architectural style, has a great influence in the art development of the city.

Best Fruits From Lembang 2008
Wow! What a colourful display of a fruit stall! That was my first impression when we stop by.

After the success of my session at the INDONESIA PHOTOWEEK II – 2008, one of my best friends Pak Goenadi and his wife Ibu Diana decided to show me more of the Bandung area. Instead of going back to Jakarta by the highway, we made a loop of the journey via Lembang. This short trip of mine, gave me another refresh impression of Indonesia.

Through the goodwill gesture of PAF the organiser of the INDONESIA PHOTOWEEK II – 2008, Bandung; Pak Prasetyo and Pak Rudi of Garuda Indonesia; Pak Isman of the Museum of the Asian African Conference, Bandung; Aston Hotel; Pak Setiady Tanzil; Pak Rifan; Pak Solichin, Pak Edward; Pak Edu; Pak Huang Rivo; and many other friends whom have made my visit possible. To my best friends all the way from Jakarta to attend my session, I cherish your friendship.

Let me share this “Colourful Indonesia” image with you all as my gratitude toward your kindness and hospitality.
