Kawah Putih crater lake I was ready to begin discovering more parts of the world with ‘energetic’ presence. Indonesia was on my list of places to revisit so I decided to make this my next destination. I had read about a place called ‘Gunung Padang’ so without much local knowledge I flew into Jakarta and made my way toward a place called ‘Bandung’.
