A Little Pleasure Called 'Shopping'

14 June 2008

A few of us are planning a trip to Indonesia to do some shopping as they have quite a large number of factory outlets. I sent out the following email yesterday to my colleagues and friends for their consideration...

(excerpt of my email)

"Dear All,

HRH and a few the Court members are planning a trip to either Jakarta-Bogor or Bandung to indulge ourselves with a little pleasure called 'shopping'. This royal visit is scheduled to take place end July 2008. My initial thinking is for us to fly on Friday afternoon, 25 July (1/2 day off) and come back Sunday (27 July) evening or we can fly Saturday (26 July) morning and come back Monday evening 28 July (1 full day off). Should HRH feel an urge to meet her fellow highnesses (betul ke ni?), we may need to make some detour to places like Istana Bogor, Istana Merdeka and Istana Wakil Presiden. Otherwise, we'll devote our weekend to 'precision shopping'.

Following is a listing of various factory outlet shops in Jakarta , Bogor , and Bandung in Indonesia..."

I am all in favour of going to Jakarta-Bogor as it is closer to city centre. So far, I have received an overwhelming response. We shall see whether this trip will materialise... Fingers crossed!
