This is a real deal for me. As for few recent years it almost hard to find this kind of scene in the new face of busy Bandung. This is what we called "Saung", a Sundanese phrase for a common shelter usually placed near or in the middle of paddy or vegetable field. Used as a rest shelter for the farmer as they break from cultivating the field. Take a little nap, lunch or keep the seeds and farming tools on the upper chamber at the roof. Now it is almost hard to find it in a real scene, now people usually build the replica at their home backyard, at the culture center or the restaurant. For the recreational purposes only.
This shelter is found at the west of side of Bandung and still being used by a real farmer, pretty far away from the busiest spot. I don't know who really built it, but I'm happy with this one found, as it bringing back my childhood memory.
