Learn how to play Angklung :) Udjo's House of Angklung, where Sundanese Art and Culture Thrive and Gained Proper Respect Worldwide. Located in the bustling eastern part of Bandung, Udjo's House of Angklung attempts to manifest beautiful harmony of vibrating bamboos that echo from this simple amphitheatre all the way to the other side of the world. It spreads the values of simplicity, co-operation, unity and togetherness, as well as maintaining mutual relationship between human and the environment. Established in 1966 by the late Udjo Nalagena (1929-2001) and his beloved wife, Uum Sumiyati, Saung Angklung Udjo was built with purpose and dedication to conserve West Java’s Sundanese traditional art and culture. His efforts to introduce and promote angklung finally paid off when UNESCO inscribed Angklung in the Intangible Cultural Heritage List in November 2010. Udjo's House of Angklung also dedicates itself to the conservation and preservation of the natural environment. Udjo's House of Angklung adopts the philosophy of easy, affordable, educative, attractive, massive, and cheerful performances that are essence of their ultimate show called “Kaulinan Urang Lembur” or villagers’ playtime.

I attended Sunday Mass when visiting Bandung City in October. It is just a wonder, when I attend Mass in Indonesia, that Catholics in Indonesia look more faithful than people in any other parts of the world. I always become so excited and healed when I attend Mass there. St. Peter's Cathedral in Bandung is located in the center of the city, and of course a beautiful church. I am so proud of Catholics in Indonesia who keep their faith to Christ in not-Christian-friendly environment. If you are Catholic and visiting Bandung, please come and pray to Lord at St. Peter's.

The museum is well presented and honours the importance of the conference. Google about it and then visit the site. Take in the significance of their efforts when you are there and reflect on those Cold War years and what the conference attempted to do.
