Tokyo SkyTree (Tōkyō sukaitsurī : 東京スカイツリー) is the tallest man-made structure in Japan located in Sumida, Tokyo. It is a broadcasting tower with a restaurant, cafe and two observation decks. The height of this tower is 634 metres (2,080 ft) making it the tallest tower in the world and second tallest structure in the world after Burj Khalifa (829.8 metres) for overall category. It has been completed in March 2011 with total cost about JPY ¥65,000,000,000 (USD $636,155,000 or RM2,096,510,000). This tower has seismic proofing which is an earthquake-resistance system known as Shimbashira-Seishin (Center Column Vibration Control) to prevent the tower from collapse during certain magnitudes of earthquake. The design is the combination between neo-futuristic design and a fusion traditional Japanese beauty. The exterior is painted in bluish white color refered to as ‘SKYTREE White’. It is representing harmony with the surrounding scenery. When looking up at the tower from the ground, Tokyo SkyTree is very noticeable landmark because of its significant size and presence against the blue sky in downtown Tokyo. At night, it is illuminated using LED lights makes it looks extremely beautiful and lively.

Bandung is a city in West Java, Indonesia. Well known for its many shopping malls, factory outlets, universities, denim jeans industry, textile industry, distros and roadside cafes. Located 768 m (2,520 ft) above sea level. Due to its elevation, the climate in Bandung is cooler than most Indonesian cities and can be classified as humid; the average temperature is 23.6 °C (74.5 °F) throughout the year. This city is surrounded by volcanic mountains. Bandung is located about 1,252 km from KLIA, Malaysia. The return-flight ticket fare for Kuala Lumpur-Bandung is around RM 544 with AirAsia. Bandung is the second biggest city in Indonesia after Jakarta. The population is around 3 millions. You can imagine how crowded the city is.

The worst thing I don’t like about Bandung is the traffic. The roads in Bandung are very small to support the 3 millions populations’ makes the traffic become very havoc. Most of them ignore the road safety and law. Traffic light is totally useless. Most of the drivers drive very aggressive. Believe it or not, this city is polluted with honk sound which is roughly at least 10 honks per minute.

There are tons of Factory Outlets in Jalan Dago (Dago Street). This is one of it. The price is quite cheap. I bought three good quality t-shirts from this shop with less than RM50.
