Jalan Bandung It is very nice to walk on this street, even in midday. The trees along side the street will keep the air feels cool and fresh. Jalan Ijen This street is really the icon of Malang. Come to Malang and try to enjoy the view. You will soon understand why Jalan Ijen is so famous. The houses along this street are forbidden to changed. The government of Malang has this part of the city as the reserved area, just like the Ursuline Monastery on Jalan Jaksa Agung Suprapto. The Palm trees remind us to the Beverly Hills, although they may completely different, hehe.... Jalan Basuki Rahmat This is one of the most busiest street in Malang. You can find Banks and offices over there. You will not find trees here, but buildings.

Technorati Tags: Ijen , Kayutangan , Gereja , Malang As you know, the Ijen Cathedral is one of the most famous Catholic Church in Malang. Of course people would say that Gereja Kayutangan is more beautiful artistically. But as the cathedral, Gereja Ijen is still holding the role. Compared to Gereja Kayutangan, Gereja Ijen lacks the details of architectural elements. I don't really know why, but I guess it is because the church it self is younger than the Gereja Kayutangan. Now compare them with these ... As you can see now. The Gereja Kayutangan is beautifully built, completed with the style of European architecture. This is my favorite one. I took it through my right motorcycle mirror. Nice! isn't it? Hehe... Unfortunately, I have no architectural background, so I'm not in the place to say a thing on it. Hope you can enjoy it.

Malang is a fast growing city. What we are seeing now is much different from what they were in the past two or five years ago. But somehow, there are many places that are kept from being changed. Jalan Ijen for example. You can really compare what it loooked like in 40's with what we might see today. Or the Ursuline's monastery on Jalan Jaksa Agung Suprapto. It's red bricks patterned wall has been the main icon of Malang since the 1900s. This blog is trying to show you, how far Malang has been changed and developed. Wait for my next post.
