Note: Oh my God, how come is my travel blog disappeared from here??? I've had actually written so many words and they all disappeared! Just one click. Gone forevah. Gosh, I should rewrite it again (sadly, I forgot to copy it first)? Seems like there's no other options, isn't there :-( Okay, I…

A trip to Yogyakarta was spontaneously put in place after discovering it is where most schools are at. A 9 hr gruelling trip on business class costing IDR 110,000 was a circus. Do not expect a fancy toilet but do expect non stop vendors throwing things at you, poking or stopping at your isle to con…

A new place that i like to explore..

Early morning saw us strolling along Jalan Malioboro again. Many becak drivers offered their support but we preferred to "jalan-jalan" (walk). Our first destination was the sultan palace ("Kraton") which was built in the middle of the 18th century. We saw the large pendopos which are being used for…

At last the holiday comes. This end of the year my family plans to go to Yogyakarta. Since we didn't get the train tickets, so we will drive there ;-) Hope everything is okay [I cross my finger] The result: it was an unforgettable experience because of several things.... One of them was driving the car with broken brake!!!

The 3rd business trip to Yogyakarta again run well. It's a bit relaxing so we could go to Prambanan temple and bird market after visiting our suppliers and searching for new suppliers. It's quite disapponting that the art month festival was really far from our imagination n we saw it just like a night market. Lion Air that has bad habit for being late was surprising this time cos it's on time. Returning with Batavia air was surprising also cos at this time woman may sit at the exit window...

She wants a thousand temples which is the temples must be build in one night from Bandung Bondowoso, the man who fall in love and mad about with Loro Jonggrang. Actual…

And reasons why street vendors are still the best! 1. Of course, to bargain and haggle with the seller is important part of the fun!2. Walked along the street with the sellers offers you this and that, you'll be surprised with how many things (that you don't actually need or plantobuy) you ended w…

The second business trip to Yogyakarta wasn't bad tho I got terrible cold and cough. Flying with the evening flight just like before and returning on the afternoon flight just like before also. Visiting some suppliers in Jogjakarta and Solo was okay too. Staying at Melia Purosani with some rain accompanying. Yet during the business things I tried to be feminin with my dress.
