Assalamu'alaikum ^^
On 30th March, 2013, I go to the city with it's great culture, people, building, and of course batik. Yogyakarta, some people call it "Jogja".
I go to that city with my mom and a lot of her friends by bus.
But traveling is not our main decision :(
My mom will have some gathering at UMY (Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta).
She is a member of a multilevel marketing that produce healthy product.
They held the event to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
"Tugu Jogja" - the icon
After finished the gathering, we go to the Malioboro, the most famous place in Yogyakarta :D
Malioboro direction
When we arrive at parking area, we take Dzuhur first in a public musholla.
Then we take a "becak", a traditional transportation, looks like a bicycle but it has 3 wheels.
You only need to pay idr 5,000 to visit 3 place.
Bakpia store, batik, and branded t-shirt ala Jogja.
That's so cheap guys :)
We buy a bakpia, walking to one shop to other shop to buy some batik, looking some old building.
.. umm.. it was sooo nice and sooo relax when you take a "becak" :)
becak - traditional transportation
After it, me and my mom have a small bowl of ronde.
A traditional beverage, it will make you "warm inside", trust me.
Because it made from a ginger :D
Nyam nyam nyam.. Tasty !
(I forgot how much is the ronde, hehe)
Then we walking the Malioboro Street, so many stuff sells there.
Tshirt, dress, necklace, ring, traditional toys, mmm.. and many more.
And I think the price is cheaper than you buy that stuff in a store ;)
My mom's favourite place is Beringharjo Market.
Her eyes was so busy to look a lot of batik there.
Feel like that market is a Batik Planet, haha.
She buy so many batik dress there.
Of course in a cheap price, she is great in bargaining a price :)
Beringharjo Market - too crowded :p
My watch show that it's 5pm.
Realize that we're not yet take Ashar, so we walk fastly to the musholla.
That's all my "trip" in Jogja.
Hope you'll enjoy my post :)
Wassalamu'alaikum ^^
