Old Town

I've spending my time in the Old Town

I'm sure miss you honey..
Now you're not around..
you're not around..
This Old Town..
(The Corrs - OLD TOWN)

Hi readers,
Here..
I'm not talking about the meaning of "Old Town" lyrics, hehe..
I just correlate that lyrics with my hometown..
very OLD TOWN..
Tasikmalaya-West Java..

I wanna show you some pictures of Tasikmalaya city in the past..
So classic.. and Exotic of course.. hehe..
The pictures are identical with Netherland or Holland's building..
yeahh.. u know that Holland had a long history of imperialism... and one of the target countries was Indonesia, my country...

OK..here they are..

Alun-Alun
or you can call it CITY GARDEN
It has been renovated..
but it's neglected now because there is no maintenance..
Unfortunately..

City Garden @ Goverment's Office

Cihideung Street
This street is still existed..
Cihideung is so popular because It's One of Trade Centers in Tasikmalaya..
Along this street, you can find mostly golden stores..

Readers,
Unfortunately..
I can't show you what the real condition now...
Everything has been changed.. modern buildings are everywhere in Tasikmalaya..
I've been living @ Tasikmalaya for more than 15 years.. but I can't find historical site especially ex Holland's building.. Yeaa.. I think It will be so interesting to be CITY HUNTER.. haha.. One day, I wanna spend my time to observe more and go directly to the site...
Ya..Ya..Ya..

Oh ya..
Tasikmalaya is separated now into 2 parts :
KOTA TASIKMALAYA and KABUPATEN TASIKMALAYA

KOTA TASIKMALAYA is located in the center.. (KOTA = city, urban)
KABUPATEN TASIKMALAYA is located in peripheral.. and mostly consists of Kampong...
