    Fun street to walk up and down. Take your time to look at the random stuff people try to sell and try some streetfood...

    Hindu history and modern Yogyakarta

    8 photos

    After been left in awe of the beauty of the ancient Buddhist architecture at Borobudur we decided to see what the ancient Hindu's have to offer. We where not disappointed by the Prambanan and Sewu temples to the East of Yogyakarta city. There aren't many signs to assist with finding them so although we knew we where on the correct road we weren't …

    A becak's eye view of "every day is Sunday"

    At six a.m. I was excited over continuing my research, wistful over parting company with our new compatriot Walter, revising my opinion of Air Asia's efficacious bag drop.

    At ten a.m. I marveled at being south of the equator in wintertime and stepping back in time to old Hawaii (freshly achieving statehood) fifty years ago. The Sheraton …

    "Hello Mister" Fatigue Syndrome

Left-wingers from Berkeley (who don't realize, during their rants against "evil globalization," that going to McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks is the ultimate experience for average people in Indonesia) exacerbate it.

    Day 1 Java (23rd March): We arrived in Java in town called Yogyakarta afterabout a 24 hour bus journey! Then it was on to a smaller local rickety old bus (Which keeps the door wide open as you drive around) to find our hostel. The hostel was very basic but had a pool and breakfast included so we managed to forgive the fact that we could hardly move …

    ...get lost in Yogya.

    12 photos

    We took a train from Jakarta to Yogya (Short for Yogyakarta or Jogjakarta or Djogjakarta or Yogjakarta or Jogyakarta...depends who you are talking to.) So far the best form of transportation we have taken. Air-con, big seats, leg room, food car, lunch service, power outlets next to seats, and a great way to see the island of Java. Endless rice …
