Hi there
I just got back from Indonesia and missed a trip to Bandung. I am not much of a shopper and I do not think I would fancy a Geology Museum, but was Bandung worth the 3 hour train ride? Just curious how much i missed.... ;-)

@ liliram... It depends on what interests you have when you go to a certain destination. Bandung itself wasn't really a highlight. But if you travel a little further out of the city then the volcano's are worth a visit. If I'm honest, you probably didn't miss too much!
