Day 1 - A First Rest

I arrived in "kos-kosan" at precisely half an hour later than the transjogja bus promised..
Jogja is pretty hot, especially when you have a backpack and a leather jacket tied around your waist – I was just asking for trouble… I frantically texted Sulaiman, my friend in Jogja who had generously offered his couch for me to sully for a couple of days.. Incidentally, I am thoroughly convinced that Sulaiman should change the name of his place to "Dorm", for reasons to obvious to document here..

Day 1 - First look of Jogjakarta



Being in Jogjakarta, is harder than you could imagine..
Street packed with Motorcycles, many of the main roads are housing-complex-size streets, and relatively bad city planning..
despite of that, the traditional views of Jogjakarta is still Amaze me.. you could feel the sense of kindness, and comfort by just looking at the peoples around..the quotes "if you smile to people, they would do the same to you" is occur here..i.e just ask for a direction..the people you ask will always be pleased to help you, and of course smile at the end of the chat..


When you first arrived in Adisucipto International Airport, sense of Culture, and tradition just terrific.. in a arrival area where we pick up our luggage, there are several traditional music instruments that were played and it feels like welcoming us to this city..


on my way to "kos-kosan", a rare stunning view of attractions are just keeping me amazed..

the beautiful temple named "Prambanan" was a must-see site for you to make your journey in Jogjakarta unforgettable..
