Yogyakarta is famous as Never ending asia which explain that u wont get bored to visit more and more this city. I's small city but it has so many nice and beautiful places and sightseeing.

My long-awaited tattoo in Singapore followed by some catch-ups and sight-seeing in Indonesia. A new love :)

What a great country:) but in 2months we saw and experienced a lot, bad and good:) but unfortunaly we didn't manage to go to Borneo and Sulawezi... its so big that archipelago:)

Well, you read the title alrite.. My flight scheduled to depart in 15.05, it was exactly when I stepped my foot on the airport. Hopelessly I entered AirAsia sales office in Terminal 3 Sukarno Hatta Airport Jakarta only to informed that they don't have any flight to Yogyakarta on that day. Next door…

I studied in Yogyakarta for 4 years - long time but I didn’t really explore the town too much. Going back to this town just remind me the old times as this town hardly changed! I escaped at the last minutes to catch my flight from the office, and travelling across Jakarta right in the middl…

We flew from Jakarta to Yogyakarta on Garuda Airline. I remember the shock we had when we saw a cockroach scurrying along in the airplane!We visited some local artisans. Then to Prambanan Temple, the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia. Most of the temple stones were black, the style of the buildings…

Jakarta-Bandung-east Java-Jogjakarta-Solo-East Java-Bali

Best trip ever. Work there on humanitarian mission, and there went around traveling by ground with old rusty bus, fishing boat..very adventure, i would say extreme! Found incredible places

I joined a group of geologists to explore the vulcanos on Bali and Java. Between this serious work I enjoyed the beautiful country of Indonesia. First we had a group of 8 people, later on 3 girls joint us and we did the rest of the tour with 11 people. One of my last days on Java, I really felt the earth moving. It WAS a minor earthquake.

We arrived in Yogyakarta by train from Jakarta which was a pleasant 8 hour journey.We stayed at the Hotel Karunia which was ok, but maybe needed a bit of a clean.  However it was in an ideal location in the centre of town.The touts in Yogyakarta are horrendous and it was a bit of a shock to th…

Indonesia and its 13000 islands
