femmerizing

It's still my past journey. I rode to Tangkuban Perahu's crater. It's full of people. But suddenly the rain was falling. We scattered  looking for a shelter or something to cover us from the rain, when some brought umbrellas.  I found a small hut, it's a warung actually.  A nice couple run this shop for some times and they sold drinks and snacks. In the cold rain like this, a spicy grilled corn was the best, accompanied with a hot drink, like bandrek or coffee or tea. The crater. The forest. Bandrek on the shelf. The corns in waiting. Let it grilled...

I was very impressed with Ivory Hotel. I stayed in this little yet cozy hotel when I visited Bandung few years ago. When I opened my pile of pics that I took, I found those two shots. I remembered taking these pics when I had breakfast, because that mural was really striking. The painting had the touch of 50's-60's era, reminded me of Casablanca kind of movie. I think the designer had put it there on purpose, in order to boost the spirit of the customers after spending the night here, so they could continue their journey. Just like me that day. This hotel had several murals like this in another rooms, actually. But I think the mural in dining area was the best. There were also knickknacks everywhere in the dining room, mostly vintage. Just like the volkswagen and motorcycle figurines on the shelf. Very well-planned concept, blending well together with the vintage wall mural.
