The staff explained the difference between each machine and demonstrated on how the machine works. They even gave us free sample of acrylic and wood carving product!

Next, we headed to Neuclub, a textile printing company located inside Paskal Hyper Square. The staff introduced us tot he world of textile printing; the process, the machine and tools, the kind of fabric suitable and not suitable for textile printing, all while showing us various samples of printed fabrics. As the clock struck 12, we went to have lunch at Paskal Food Market.

At 13.00, we took off to our last destination, Cigondewah. Cigondewah is one of the biggest textile market located in South Bandung. Cigondewah is one of designer's choice to get a unique and limited textiles with low price. They provide many kind of textiles such as cotton, jersey, denim, silm, brocade, and many more. Supporting material and supplies such as thread, button, and zipper are also available! We were given about 2 hours to explore the market.
