Yogyakarta (Part II)

We bought Carica (some fruits of papaya varietal), a bit tasteless though. It is a popular snack, marinated in sugar water. Passion fruit, the seed was from Thailand but was planted in Wonosobo. We bought some just to try.

We saw a little boy playing kite on the roof of some building near the water castle.

We tried the street jamur, a bit too sweet for my liking, but it is supposed to be good, just like our herbal tea.

Once upon a time, one of the King's past time was to sit and watch concubines swim in this pool.

My lunch at a grand buffet style restaurant call Ndalem Ngabean.

Our dessert.

This is a mystical place. I can feel something here. Candi Kalasan.

We stayed here the last 3 nights at Duta Garden. We had our swim on the last night.

Yogyakarta (Part I)

Yes, I am back from my 6 days trip in Yogyakarta. I have seen many beautiful candi (temples). I will share some pics here:

We took pictures with local students. I have been stopped twice another 2 times by other students in other areas too. I think they like taking pictures with tourists.

We had ayam goreng with nasi and ayam soto for lunch on the first day we arrived. I was very hungry and it was delicious.

Borobudur was spectacular. We had to wake up early, about 4am to see the sunrise. It is a pity we are not allowed to go to the top floor with the stupas. I took this picture from the 5th floor.

Everyone have to wear a sarong to come inside Borobudur.

This is one of my favourite picture. We were in the car and we saw a bunch of bebek (duck) walking back home with the guidance of the owner. We went down the car and took a picture. Love it.

We caught the next sunrise the next day. Those are my hands, by the way.

Meditation in Dieng.

Colour Lake in Wonosobo.

A weekend in Bangkok =fun

The last time i was in Bangkok was in 2006. Last week i went again! It was fun!!! For your information, Bangkok is OK to travel now. In fact it is very quiet now.

We love to shop and eat there! I personally love the tom yum gung, coconut icecream!! Yummy!

We had fun shopping everywhere...even in 7-eleven it is more interesting than here. They sell books, CDs, burgers etc. I got myself some snacks(gums, mints, Lay's, sunflower seeds and a raincoat).

Looking forward for the next trip.

Look at my luggage...before and after, but i admit i did not shop enough.
