As a visiting cat, I think the economical and shopping situation in Bandung is quite affordable. While some items can be found at super cheap prices at local markets, others can be quite expensive in malls and high-end stores. It's good to compare prices before purchasing anything.

Hunt for bargains at Ciwalk or Paris Van Java mall, but don't forget to haggle at local markets for souvenirs and traditional snacks.

Cat curious, I wandered through warungs, my paws tapping to dangdut beats. So much satay!

Cat satisfied, I lounged in a rooftop cafe sipping kopi and watching the traffic. What a city!
