 Malioboro Street Jun 02, 2008
Malioboro Street is known as the longest market in Yogyakarta because it takes 2 kilometers from one end to the other end. It basically a place to sell JUNKS :) But we’re talking about beautiful and inexpensive junk like all the traditional Javanese artworks, clothes, accessories, sandals, etc.
Malioboro is the centre of tourist district in Yogyakarta. There are some modern and colonial-age buildings around the area.Along the street is packed with small sidewalks shops. Test your bargaining skills in this place :) When you take a walk in this place, you will see the surrounding full of traditional transportation which you may be appealed to try. The well known one is BECAK, a three wheel pedal powered bicycle cart. There is also a romantic lovely horse carriage which we call DOKAR. Many hotels and restaurants are located in this place. Night time is normally full of open-air street side restaurants which are locally known as LESEHAN. They sell traditional food called GUDED – a young jackfruit mix with palm/brown sugar. Very tasty and delicious :)  Part of the I-n-d-o-n-e-s-i-a travel blog

This morning, Rara begged to swim. The hotel didn't have a warm water swimming pool so the water was cold. Especially after the long rain last night, it made the water was impossible to swim. I didn't like the idea to swim as early as 7 o'clock…Malioboro street, which also wellknown for Batik.
