Yogyakarta

We arrived in Yogyakarta in the late afternoon. The city has about 500,000 inhabitants and is well known for its art, batik etc. Since it is also located close to world famous Prambanan and Borobodur we had put Yogya on our must-go list early on. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the hotel we chose (I will t´ry to find that out). It was located very close to the train station, practically just on the other side of the street. And therefore just a stone's throw away form the main shopping street, Jalan Malioboro.

We had enough time left to walk around a little bit. Close to the hotel was a nice little kiosk. I took a picture of the owner who proudly posed for me. At Jalan Malioboro the locals had already started meeting for dinner. It was beautiful to see them gathering together in those little "street restaurants". Real life. :-)
