Jogja!

Actually, it was not the first time for me to go to Jogjakarta but at least this time I stayed there for couple of days. The first visit was on 1997.

The city was full of pleasant people. A little bit crowded but no jam at all. I was surprised after realize that Jogja has no public transportation except taxi, ‘becak’, ‘delman’ and mini bus, not like other cities which have “angkot” for their mass transportation. Interesting, huh?

The most famous place in Jogja is the Malioboro street. You can find bulk of “becak” and “delman” there. You can also have dinner in “lesehan” style like the Japaneses do. The famous batik shirt can also be found there.

In the southern of Jogja (about 40 km) there is a biggest Budhist temple in the world, i.e. Borobudur temple. It was built by Samaratungga in the 8th century. Borobudur was revealed by Sir Thomas Stanford Raffles in 1814. The temple was found in ruined condition and was buried. It was one of the seven worders world heritage but unfortunately now it is not (( Why… why… and why… ???

There is alsoMerapi volcano. It is one of the world’s most active and dangerous volcanoes. You can see the smoke always comes out from its cup at all time until now.

I was very happy to be able to step my feet again on the land of one of the Indonesia’s most favourites place to visit. Can’t wait for another steps in the future…defenitely withmy wife !!!
