teka ning jogja yuk!

 This is my first trip with life-long bestfriends after i moved to Jakarta, it is incredibly memorable! Our plan at first, was to go to Bangkok.. We already booked the accomodation and bought the ticket to Bangkok, but while we are counting the days to Bangkok, there are unfortunate accident happened to Bangkok cos of dreadful drought (ps:pray for Bangkok) so in the last minute, we decided to go to Djogjakarta and visit one of the 7 wonders of the world,Borobudur. Since this is our first time there, we really anticipated our trip!Although there are some small disputes before going there,still,we get through it cos great friends bond in woe and joy!




We went to Goa Pindul on the last day before our evening flight, cos on the last night staying at Djogja, some local told us about that place we shouldnt missed to go..Cave tubing is an once in lifetime experience i bet?Great outbound and a real close to nature!you might not know what it is inside the cave but that is the excitement which gives delirious thrill and it was my first time jumping off from a not really tall cliff but a good try cos i dont really know how to swim, so it's a 50-50 of boldness..




We got the chance to see the silver workshop where the silver artist( by the way the skills are inherited from the generation through generation, so they are born to be silver artist) are well adepted and one piece of work can cost up to Rp 45 million :]
I also got the chance to do batik painting!they are amazing woman with beautiful craft~
We also managed to go to Keraton (the Sultan Palace) and learned many historical artefacts or story of Java kingdom, and one thing that captured me is the camera that used by Sultan Hamengku Buwono lX, an epic polaroid XD



And Borobudur, one of the amazing and wondrous thing Man in this world can created, every walls has its stories and we were lucky to have a capable guide who tell us many informations that we might not come across on our daily lives. In addition,we had a "romantic" ambience at Borobudur due to the rain!outstanding colorful umbrella eh,behind the gray walls..

 Thanks to Bobby and Cynthia, we got to see the famous Merapi volcano at last, because each time when we want to go there, rain poured heavily in Djogja and it was very dangerous to go there because of hard haze.
That 3 kids standing on the edge, infront of them is dont know how many thousand feets of ravine. We dont even dare to go anywhere near there.
not even a parental guidance..what if the city kids who are standing there, imagine it?


 We reached Merapi almost in the late noon, so the haze started to blanket the volcano slowly, cant really see the tip of the volcano but at some point we were able to see the mouth where the monstrous larva come out.

 And the foods in Djogja obviously good!! and they had some creative and unique restaurants, such as Jejamuran(all foods based on mushrooms,delicioushroom!), Artemy Gelato (nice gelato and elegant interior), Kali milk (fresh milk with many flavours,all worth trying) and one unique restaurant that serves a gigantic porridge with a very reasonable price,you can find it only at House of Raminten.......
