Thank you for the A2A, Kanyon LundellI happen to live in Bandung. I guess you are planning to visit my city?Fun facts about Bandung…..Facts that I am about to write.. might be not so fun facts, please excuse me in advance….These are not “10 top destinations in Bandung" or “best dining places in Bandung" or “7 must see places in Bandung" or so…Here they are…Bandung is home to Bosscha Observatorium.the oldest observatorium in Asia and one of the most important and active observaroriums in Southern Hemisphere.Bandung was the host of Asian African Conference in 1955.The Conference inspired some Asian and African countries to claim their independence from Western countries. Those countries are : Cyprus, Malaya, French North Africa, British Guyana, Indian Congress of South AfricaThe Conference also inspired the Non Aligned Movement (NAM). This NAM is group of states which decided not to align with Western or Eastern Bloc during the Cold War, and still do until now. Although this NAM is less relevant now, as Eastern Bloc has collapsed, NAM is still an active states community that is second only to UN in number of members and total population.Bandung is home to the 2nd oldest airfield in Indonesia, Andir (now Husein Sastranegara airport). Established in 1921.As the oldest one, Kalijati (now Suryadarma airfield. Established in 1917) is not used as commercial airport, Husein Sastranegara become the oldest airport in Indonesia.100 years ago, in early 1900… there were already football clubs in Bandung. But the name of the clubs were not fancy, like Bandung United or FC Bandung. Instead, the names were more suitable as motivational quotes, for example :“ Sidolig” ( sport in de open lucht is gezond = Sport in Open Air is Healthy).“LUNO” (Laat U Niet Overwinnen = Don't let yourself to be overcome / to be defeated")Three times in year 1871, 1897 and 1901, king of Thailand Rama V (the Great Kinh Chulalongkorn … and once in 1928, king of Thailand Rama VII… visited Bandung.Those kings visited a small waterfall by the name Curug Dago and they carved some stones there to write something in Thai script. Later in 1928, Thailand government built a hut and placed a plaque there to commemorate the visits of those kings.The visits of Thailand royal family was not end there. in 1930s there was a coup in Thailand. One member of royal Thai family ws exiled to Bandung, by the name Prince Paribatra. Prince Paribatra was kind military leader back in Thailand. The Prince then set up a villa and a garden at Cipaganti roadBandung is developing sister city partnership with these cities :Fort Worth, Texas, United StatesMiami, Florida, United StatesLas Vegas, Nevada, United StatesNelspruit, South AfricaTshwane, South AfricaKuantan, MalaysiaSeremban, MalaysiaPetaling Jaya, MalaysiaBari, ItalyKlagenfurt, AustriaCebu City, PhilippinesBraunschweig, GermanyUdon Thani, ThailandBangalore, IndiaPekanbaru, IndonesiaManado, IndonesiaMaribor, SloveniaTopolcianky, Slovak RepublicHamamatsu, JapanSuwon, South KoreaLiuzhou, ChinaHangzhou, ChinaYingkou, ChinaAlmaty, KazakhstanMandalay, BurmaSeoul, South KoreaKawasaki, JapanToyota City, JapanShenzen, ChinaCotabato, PhilippinesCuenca, EcuadorNamur, Belgium.The partnership with Braunschweig / Brunswick is the oldest one, being established in 1960 and being the first sister city partnership between a city in Germany and a city in South East Asia.Bandung is one of only 2 cities in Indonesia that is member of UNESCO Creative Cities Network. The other one is Pekalongan.Like Surabaya's Zangrandi… history of Bandung was also shaped by an Italian family. Ursone family came to Bandung at the end of 19th century. Later they opened cow farm and produced high quality milk for Bandung citizen, particularly Savoy Homann hotel.Out of all persons (mythical or real) after which Bandung streets are named…. Purnawarman was the earliest born, being born somewhere in 4–5th century AD. While the lastborn most likely to be Capt. Pierre Tendean, being born in 1939 and passed away on Oct 1, 1965.That is all from me. Please excuse me if those are not fun…
