EXPLORING THE GEOLOGY MUSEUM, BANDUNG

Hi, It’s me again... Um... where should I start?

Um... OK. Here I go..

This is starting after we fulfilled our hungry passion for lunch. OK I exaggerated. I mean, I and my classmates went to Ramen Shop for eating Ramen for lunch. That post could be read here : Jigoku Ramen

After that we still wanna hang out around our lovely Bandung. And it has been decided if we will go to Taman Lansia (Lansia Park), a city park near Gedung Sate (Iconic Building for West Java Government).

We are. Youngster that reckless and stubborn. To reach our destination (Taman Lansia) from Ramen Shop, we ride motorcycle. We only have 2 people that have motorcycle, so we’re splitted. Ugun+Wati, Wimal+Adel+Me. Can you imagined how that condition was?? We really abandoned police’s rule, moreover the passenger, the girls (not the driver) ride that without helmet! OMG please don’t follow our bad act.T_T

Fortunately we are follow the little street for avoid the main street, but there’s a bad news, wanna or not, we have to riding on next main street to reach our destination. And we’re panicking when we saw a police in that road. Finally, the passenger ride down and we are, the girls walk away, just for safety and we don’t want to be a bad guys.. *cough*angel imitated here*cough* 

When we’re dicussing about how to reach our desination withour riding motorcycles then I suggest Adel+ Wati to use commute, it’s because I’m the real commuter, so I’m OK with that thing. I said if the route will passed Geology Museum which is infront of the Taman Lansia, but then suddenly Adel said we are better go to Museum than to the Park. OK. It decided, we agreed!! We communicate the boys via wh*tsapp to change destination, the boys agree and they will buy the ticket if they arrive there at first.

And somehow we’re remembering Septa, another girls in the class. She isn’t with us because she has a TOEFL exam schedule, unfortunately when we said this sudden plan to Septa, she  already went home... Auw.. Next time we should go together then.. :( 

After a while.. there we are!!! A museum? Ticket were bought by us for IDR.2000,-/person.

A ticket for entering Geology Museum Bandung

I couldn’t believe it, finally I step my feet again on here after years skipped. 

Last time I visited this museum when I was a Junior High.

We are,um.. I mean.. me.. I am really excited!!!

First we enter museum, we cursed ourselves which visited this museum on the Saturday when the visitor arised in great numbers, mostly junior high and we arrive at 12.30 that mean we only have 1.30 hours before the museum closed at 2.00.

But it was OK. I don’t wanna lose this chance. And here we go again, we explore this museum. First we heading to 2nd floor where it’s about mineral knowledge and natural disaster explanation that caused by geological thing. In the part about Mineral and Mining we could see various of gemstones!! So beautiful! ruby, saphire, jade etc.. OMG I wan’t it all!! Can I have them all??? LOL

Then we learn (sounds like a class) about hydrocarbon (oil) and another mineral, we know about the various stone that used along in the history, accessories from the past, various ores etc. In the Natural Disaster section we learn about mount eruption, tsunami even earthquake!!

A little interesting story about earthquake, there’s a simulator for earthquake based on measurement of its earthquake scale. I dont know how the Richter was, it just written model 1 and model 2. We are (the girls) esp Adel want to try that, but the queue is long, all of ‘em is the jr.high. Ow please I’m an adult how can I fight with the kids so I can use that tool, but in the other side maybe I can used this seniority to expelled them away? *smirk* ahahaha I’m joking of course we didn’t do that. 

Fortunately there’s anouncement if the Jr students have to go to 1st floor. Yeay!!! Finally we tried that simulator with model 2, and it success make us dizzy. The shake was strong enough.

Therefor, we go down to 1st floor, there are many specimens of fossil. Mammoth, Dinosaur, something like Buffalo, and primordial man were there, even we could see clams shell, and fossil of trees. It’s amazing!

But you know what is the more amazing?

Yes! Exactly! We took our photos almost in front of the specimen that we thought it is cool xD. We saw a father who posed in front of mammoth with weird pose, we laugh at him, but we imitated him in the end. LOL.

This ‘taking-a-picture’ time continuing even until we exit from the museum, because in the outside of the museum we still found the interesting objects (rock/stone, sarcophagus etc) and even the beauty of that museum it self is an elegant object. It’s because Geology Museum’s building architechture is made from the Netherland Era in Indonesia, it has an Europe Style :)

We only consist of 5 people, so if we wanna our members complete in a photo, we asked a stranger to take the picture for us. Whatsoever because it was FUN!!

see the back? it isn't only us who's taking a picture xD

guys... don't hugging like that, it's only stone! it shown if we're the real LDR victim :(

nice Europe Style building

meet my another friend he is T. from Tyranosaurus Rex

it's lovely T again :*

And we share our pics on group (in order to save the complete pic by ourselves) but it made Kang Suryo (another classmate) shocked. He said we’re strange younger in this era for liking to hang out to the Museum.LOL.

We are hippies?? Um.. ofcourse not!! We are not that kind of oldies!! xD

Once again whatever... people might be think person who visit museum is nerd. But I don’t care, we’re found it interesting anyway!

Another museum??? We aren't hesitate to discover it later!!!

Bye~ Bye~

that girl is this weird author. I didn't close with her tbh. note : she imitated the weird father's pose before
