Newbie in Bandung

[Abcdj]

Hi All,
I'm new in Bandung.

I am finding exploration and adventure alone a little difficult on my own. Hoping to meet other expats to go on outings and dinners, maybe catch a movie some time.

Perhaps there is an expat group in Bandung? If you know of one please point me in the right direction.

Cheers!

There is a group, but we don’t meet.

Hi Abcdj, I am in Bandung too.
I sometimes get chance to hang out, but as Jaime C can testify, I often blob on meeting up, mainly due to circs outside of my control.


JC, are you still in town? I have some spare time next week.

No, just left Bali last week, and am now back in 112 Farenheit-land, until my next yearly vacation.

The former baby just started first grade.

2 million budget
Near or around itb
Good Wifi atleast

Apartments- going to be hard to find at that price, you would need to up the budget by about 1,5 million.
