I HAVE A DREAM :

Bandung city, Indonesia, South East Asia are best known as "Paris van Java" since Dutch colonialized my country couple of centuries ago, because of the fashionable of the people, culture and town. Sadly, in this 21st century, the environment of my lovely city isn't shown that situation. How could you be fashionable in bad situation environment? So, I have a dream, if this Cikapundung river are clean, so that Bandung city would have another title, Venezia van Java.

    Thanks, Aurelio. I'm not ask them for what are they did. But, as I know, there are a lot of people who are looking for some bottle or another garbage thing that could be sold, which were thrown by a lot of unconsciousness clean environment people, into this Cikapundung river. And also thank you, Nelson, for comment and make this as your favorite's. Also to Adn, for your comment and suggestion.

    Sad that the people have to dig through the dirty stagnate water to find things to sell to survive. YOu could also put this is Sustainalbility.

    Thanks for your comment and suggestion, Karen. That's why I'm really thankful to Allah swt, because I still can paid internet connection on the internet cafe. Eventhough right now, I'm officially being unemployee for one year. This people bring me a lesson: don't ever waste life in a once time and every rupiah (Indonesian's money) you have.

    Thanks, Bora. Actually it's an accidental shoot. At first, I thought I don't want to shoot this, because my film isn't expired nor slide film, so I think the color would be so usual. But, because I was walking around about 2 hour and got nothing interesting to shoot, so I snap on them. I'm kind of pessimistic people on jpg would appreciate this, but once again, thanks Bora, for your sweet comment ;)

    I think this would make a great Venezia van Java. I don't even think you need to make the river much cleaner.
