Arrived from solo - much bigger city & many more tousists..hence not liking it as much, but still some nice things to see....palaces, especially the water palace (taman sari - had a great time playing with kids in the water!! : )
more markets full of wonderful foods, spices, etc.
saw batik making & leather puppets - very high quality work & great to watch. i was very good tho - still not bought a single thing!!!
amazing food here too & so cheap! (a full mela & drink for around 30-50p - keeping to the local places anyway - any touristy places become at least triple/ quadruple that!)
watched the famoud Ramayana dance at open air theatre, based on the rama & sinta story.
yogya defintely not my most favourite place so far, mainly due to it having become such a touristy place, more people after money here, but nice to visit to see what all the fuss is about., definitely prefer surabaya & solo tho, much more down to earth people & genuine!!
