Dear readers,<\/p>\n
It\u00b4s high time for a new update on the blog! After those amazing conferences and\u00a0discussions, the organizing committee of the conference (entirely students at Parahyangan University) had prepared another exciting day for us! A free day discovering the amazing city of Bandung!<\/p>\n
Bandung was the location of the first\u00a0Asian\u2013African Conference,\u00a0<\/span>held in April 1955. The conference gathered new independent states from both regions who commonly expressed their rejection of colonialism or “new-colonialism” and founded the Non-Aligned Movement. We all visited the venue of the conference which is still used for diplomatic or educational purposes.<\/p>\n Secondly, Bandung is the host of a famous Museum of Geology<\/strong>, which exposed many\u00a0fossils, rocks, and minerals… Such a delight!<\/p>\n And to finish such a wonderful day, all the participants of the conference headed to Saung Angklung Mang Udjo<\/strong>, a place dedicated to the traditional Indonesian instrument, the “Angklung” \u00a0(instrument made of two or several bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame, each of the tube playing a different tune). We discovered dances, traditional songs and we also got the chance to give it a try and play all together!<\/p>\n In one word, I would only say: Bandung rocks!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear readers, It\u00b4s high time for a new update on the blog!
