This time I was kinda started my first survey duty along Central Java. Most of whole area in this province had been visited by me and a friend who company me :) well, since it would be so much towns and cities I'll just paid attention in some big cities and some marvelous places.
From East Java, I drove all my way and reached Solo after passed some small and too quiet towns. We stayed a night in Solo then moved on to a bigger cities, Yogyakarta. Oh, actually, Solo and Yogyakarta are most historical heritage cities in Indonesia. They have a lot of historical Javanese Kingdom Palace and also ancient statue from about 300 years before.
Ah okay, let me continue again about Yogyakarta :P .... In this city, you can find a lot of foreigners here cause it has a thick sense of ethnic style. There'sa long street named Malioboro Street and most people sold unique crafts there, even some anthique things ;)
After exploring Yogyakarta, I headed to next bigger city (still passed more small n suiet towns) Semarang. I didn't explore this city more cause didnt have much time. As I could say, Semarang has pretty lot
Gudeg RiceCentral Java speciality... worth trying ;)
of big malls and those malls are bond beteen each other n that's pretty strange for me :P
Again, we still passed Cilacap and came by to a shore which accross with Nusakambangan island, an island which has a lot of corruptors jailed there :(
And then we're driving our way back home... along our way, we passed Prambanan Temple and decided to visit it awhile. Well, it's a bit different compared with few years ago before a great earthquake there. Many of it are ruin and only left several small temples. Lucky me I could still see the centre temple here..We took a lot of pics there n bought some souvenirs then straight heading home..
So, these all journey along Central Java took me 2 weeks full of driving, working, playing ;) and back home again..after all, I'd love to have it again. I did meet new people from any different places and found that even their living isn't good as mine, they're still smiling and cheered a lot!! What a life I would admired more!!!..
