Day 36: A glimpse of Bandung

Another trip this week took me to the West Java town of Bandung, the verdant technology hub of Indonesia. I wish I had taken more pictures of the green hills surrounding the city and had enough time for a hike, but I guess I will just have to return again in the future.


One of my favorite moments was at the very end of my visit at the American Corner located inside the famous Institute of Techology Bandung (ITB).  I shared a presentation about Yellowstone park and shared perspectives from the American West about the park system. The invited guests were a group of ecology majors who grilled me (just a little bit) about geothermal features, petrified wood formation, conservation, and fire control. Smart kids! The lively conversation finished with a tempting invitation for a hike (something my Wyoming-native soul is craving here).
