Almost a month and a half ago, one of my roommates and I took a walk from our house to the nearby hills/mountains north of Bandung (the city I am living in). We walked up hill for about two hours, so a round trip totaling four hours. It wasn't what I would normally experience on Christmas Eve, with temperatures in the 70s and partly-cloudy skies, which provided a nice sunburn when I returned. But the scenery was amazing and I learned a little about the Indonesian countryside. Here's some photos from our journey.

| Towards the outskirts of Bandung, we came across several nice houses like this one. There is also a national forest to the north of Bandung, which we walked alongside for part of our trail. |
 |
| The higher we went, the more and more farm ground we saw. I'm not sure of all crops they grow, but there's certainly a variety. |
 |
| Of course we came across some Indonesian people out working! I'm not sure what the woman and man are carrying in the photo above, but it appeared to be a crop recently harvested. The group of men and women, old and young, to the left, were taking a break from their work in the field. |
 |
| We came upon this village as we walked farther up the hill. We only attracted a few stares. |
 |
| And finally here's the view from our stopping point! Looking down on the town of Lembang in the distance with the forest in the foreground and to the left. |
