To see the ancient wonder of the world Borobudur but we saw so much more in Yogja.....

I spent about 5 days in Indonesia. Went to Jakarta and Yogyakarta. Like these places and I fell in love with Dieng Plateau. It was rainy season there but I still had good time there.

I never get bored to come to this city. This is my best city to visit, although there are many other beautiful places in my country. But I love Jogyakarta. The city is alive. The people are great. So here so pictures from my recent travel to Jogyakarta.

A short work trip to Yogya in Central Java made me to think to have a quick escape to see a bit about this old city, and i always wanted to see this old city with its magnificent buildings especially surrounding the Sultan's palace.  Yogyakarta, a.k.a Yogya, a.k.a Jokja lies in the sout…

DAY 1 We had another early start at 5.30am in order to catch the 7am train to Yogyakarta which we were travelling to in Executive class,which is still cheap and not as good as normal trains anywhere else.I was looking forward to the air conditioning but after about 30 minutes it was playing up and…

Indonesia is the largest archipelago consisting of more than 17500 islands only 6000 islands are inhabited.So this is the right country to go for the real island hopping experience!!

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Juliana (Russia) After a heavy Saturday night, we didn't arise from our slumber until the middle of the afternoon and thus the chance of going to Kraton - the Sultans Palace - had already alluded us. We therefore caught up with some inter…

Long time ago, Chinese ethnic are not allowed to celebrate their new year in an open area in Indonesia. But the last few years has been different. The Chinese community in Yogyakarta, for example, has organized some dragon show along the main street of Yogyakarta, Malioboro.

I really liked Jogyakarta. There are nice things to see. I recommend to see the animal market which is very sad but people let carry you big anacondas and you can see the colored chickens and tons of insects (iiiiii). I also suggest you taking a public bus to go to the temple bodobudur which is in…

In a one day tour, we hit Borobudur, Prambanan temple, and a few sites at Jogykarta, including of course the obligatory vists to the various market industries/shops such as silver jewelry, batik, and paintings.  We were exhausted by the time our plane landed back down in Bali. 

I didn't really know much about Java before going: I knew that its crowded; 140 million people on an area about the size of the UK. And i knew that it has lots of active vulcanos and that it should be incredibly beautifull. Nevertheless lately there have been frequent news about…
