What makes Singapore livable...

East Coast Park + Bicycle!

Nurseries of Lembang

Travel has really wound down since I settled down with a job in Singapore. I only get out and around the region once in a while, and I went to Lembang this past long weekend. Lembang is actually quite a convenient place to reach from Singapore, because the nearest airport at Bandung is small and strategically located in the middle of town. The drive between Bandung to Lembang is about 40-80 minutes long (depending on traffic, as always). The chilly fresh mountain air is the first great feel about arriving in Lembang. There was stalls of garden nurseries on the way up to the mountain resorts, and here are pictures from the stop.

The nurseries on one side of the road sits at the verge of a steep slope and they have a sweeping view of the agrarian hills beyond. There were garden nursery stocks, strawberries, and rice paddies being grown on the hill. There I caught myself thinking "Wow… Singaporean property developers could really make a kill out of land with this kind of view!"

The bouganvilleas look nicer up close here as compared to when they are planted en masse in Singapore's pedestrian bridges.
