Return Back to Kampung Bandan

Kampung Bandan is one of the high-density population area in Jakarta.
After one year, I have an opportunity to return back to visit this area. Surprisingly the people are remain the same; friendly and very welcome.

How to get there?
There are two access to get into Kampung Bandan. The first one is from Pasar Pagi building that you can walk through a pathway to this area.
And the second one is by train from Kota train station (stasiun Kota) located at Jakarta Kota Tua (Jakarta Old Town) directly to Kp. Bandan. It takes only 5 minutes, and after arriving station you can ask the security guys on how to get to Kampung Bandan.

This area has many narrow street (gang) with lots of tiny houses that totally bring you to different atmosphere.

And that day after my first visiting, on the October 2014, i was returning back again to Kampung Bandan.....
