... where you are going....it usually involves someone running up to the arriving bus, grabbing your bags and running to another bus where you have no choice but to follow and hope that it is going in the correct direction...needless to say this creates some stressful moments for us, but never lets us down as amazingly we always get to where we are wanting to go. Also note: noone ever tells you the price, you basically pull out some money, smile and hope that it is ...

Actually almost every years I visit this town. It is a small town, near Yogyakarta but It is in Central Java Province. and for the information, It's my mother hometown.
I have the opportunity to visit and stay in this town cause I should have Hospitality or "silaturahmi" with my Grandma. I smell a lot of village things, the conservative ways. It's a peaceful place.
maybe next time I'll rewrite this journal. because I have so much story from my hometown, Purworejo.

Dieng Plateau is at 2093m high and holds the oldest Hindu temples in Java although most have been destroyed and the small temples that remain have all been reconstructed (like all the other ruins in central Java). We visited the Arjuna Complex containing smaller Shiva temples. They were also other temples but really not very impressive unless your a temple specialist and need to see every single one of ...

... but as I was getting close to Yogya the heavens opened. After sheltering for an hour but already dripping wet I decided to head back to Yogya in search or ...

Sunset di Selat Sunda Jul 14, '08 11:30 PM for everyone Sunset di Selat Sunda (Januari 12, 2003) Siang itu, kulihat teman-temanku sedang sibuk dengan aktivitas liburan yang biasa mereka kerjakan. Yaitu, mencuci baju dan tidur. Yah, itulah hal yang biasa kami lakukan untuk mengisi hari libur. Ma'lum, kami (karyawan sebuah perusahaan penerbangan swasta) hanya diberi waktu libur 2 hari, setelah 4 hari bekerja nonstop. Oh ya, namaku Indra. Saat ini, aku sedang ...

This is the path that leads to the village of Badui people, an indigenous tribe who lives a life strictly traditional. The area is surrounded by rugged ...

Von Sumatra zurueck nach West-Java. Die Bay von Cimaja bietet einige Surfspots und wunderschoene bergige Landschaften, welche mit dem Offroadscooter am besten zu erkunden sind. Habe Jean-Pierre und Julien (die beiden Frenchys von Krui) wieder getroffen. Wir planten dann einen dreitaegigen Bootssurftrip auf den Panaitan-islands, eine paradiesische Inselgruppe mit reichlich Wellen. Julien hatte jedoch eine Wundinfektion ...

... Stadt, wenn man das Stadt nennen kann. Nicht, dass es klein waer, hat ja wohl 500.000 Einwohner, aber es gibt nichts wirklich Attraktives im Zentrum. Bin also aus Langeweile was um sieben Uhr frueh zu tun waere zum Sultanspalast spaziert. Der war noch zu. Hab dann einen "guten" Tip, von einem ich kann's ja selbst kaum glauben, und hinterfrage es noch immer, ehrlichen Indonesier bekommen. Nix commission. Ok er stammt aus Sumatra ...

We are back in the Kuta region again - it is so much cheaper than Sanur. For example James had a dinner with 2 beers consisting of: chicken salad, spaghetti bolognaise, sirloin steak and chips, and a toasted sandwich to polish it off!! and this only cost rp60,000 (£3.50) - in sanur the spag bol and two beers would cost this much. So as you see - James was eating through his money very quickly in Sanur. We have hired a moter bike for a month - cost just under £1 per day ...

The day I was planning to head to Ujong Kulon I slept in late. This seemed reasonable to me as Susan, Peter and I had been out partying at BATS, a well-known expat bar, till 4a.m. However I still managed to drag myself out of bed and into the mini-van by 10.am. so Hirianto could drop me at the bus station. My destination was Tamanjaya, the jumping-off point for treks into one of Java's best and most important national park. It's the last home of the Javan one-horned rhino as ...
