Tasikmalaya is the hometown of both of my parents. My grandmother is currently still living in Tasikmalaya, specifically on Jalan Burujul, off Jalan Ciamis, very near to the railway crossing not too far from Lima roundabout.

I remember that when I was still a kid, I loved to go to the railway track which is located just a stone throw's away from my grandmother's house, and watched the trains passing by. So when we were there, I took Irza for a stroll along the railway track.

There was a train passing by from Bandung towards east at that time, I think it was the Lodaya train bound for Yogyakarta and Solo (Balapan). Irza was very happy to be able to see a "real" train (not just the small MRT trains we often find here in Singapore) from a short distance. :)
