Jalan Braga Bandung's quasi-European street

Jalan Braga is the place in Bandung where you can see remnants of its colonial past, and what happens to them if maintenance is disregarded. The once-beautiful buildings that line the street are now, with some exceptions, up for a complete overhaul or at least, a thorough renovation. The whole neighborhood displays a tired look of what it once was, and although it still is one of the sites where history is brought back alive, it's not alive and kicking, but more alive but tired. Bandung has surprisingly large number of excellent bakeries. This is one that has retained its colonial Dutch splendor amid more upscale bakeries.
