Kids Trend Holiday

Onto the third day of our recent Bandung trip we finally decided to distract kid-trend’s adamant addiction to modern gadgets, and bring them to Bandung’s own natural beauty for a bit of muscle shake down. We had thought of returning back to Lembang’s little Farm then head off for the nearby volcanoes: Tangkuban Perahu craters. Since most us of had been there we look at other place which is similar in nature, the “Kawah Putih” or “White Crater” is a good option. One of our nephews has expressed his interest to ride on All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) up in Lembang, fortunately Kawah Putih has such facility also.

Bandung a beautiful city resort in West Java has plenty of options for family leisure activities, yet the most important mission on this trip is to break our kids’ habit off their gaming gadgets. It has been increasingly habitual for the kids of today spending much of their leisure time on such gadgetry, as the consequence they have now less and less physical activities. Much less of kids trend than any other generation has!

This family trip has been specially requested by one of our nephew ever since she learnt that we have made frequent trips to our beloved Bandung city. The fact that she lives in Batam Island makes all of us to make the most to ascertain her request fulfillment. The recent school holiday was the perfect gift for her birthday coincided with the trip. Bandung is a well known for its domestic tourist’s attractions in particular for the Jakartan as one of hugely popular holiday destinations: in fact it is the hot trend of urban trips.

Through out the whole trip kids seemed to enjoy themselves; the fresh barbequed corn and stone throwing at “White Crater”; later at the end of the crater trip they would enjoy working out above ATV for a cross country lap. It was quite a hard effort for the parent’s part to distract such adamant addiction to modern gadgets. Does your kid have similar game addiction as ours? Is it the cost we have to go through as new life style? What’s yours look like?

An early report on kid-trend by Scholastic the world’s largest publisher and a leader in educational technology has indicated that Computer Games continues to be the top holiday wish lists.
