Jogja in a short trip

On Friday (23/4) I had to register myself in Graha Saba Pramana, so after the lecture on Thursday (22/4), I went to Bandung Station to go with Lodaya Express to reach Jogjakarta. It was a good fortune because on Friday I didn’t have to be absent because that day was free form lecture (just for that week). I left the station at 8pm and came to Jogja at 6am in the next day. My cousin and I in a hurry went to my auntie’s home and took a bath. At 8 we went directly to GSP. I took the queue number, but I’m shock to read ‘860’. Oh my God, what time did they all come? I met my friend, Banok. He came alone so we accompanied each other. After waiting, I got the turn at 3pm.

After the registration had done, my cousin and I went to his grandparents’ home in Turi, Sleman. We went there by motor which was lent from my uncle. We stayed there for one night.

In the next day, we were back to Jogja. I met my friends expressly, Nicko and Bira and talked a lot about many things especially about Jogja. At night, my cousin and I had a walk in Malioboro. We bought a laptop bag and drank Sekoteng. We also visited a shop named Mirota Batik. When I came, I smelled a sting aroma and guess what? It was ‘Menyan’ everywhere. The shopkeeper and maybe the owner still follow a tradition which is called dynamism. After feeling tired, we went to my auntie’s home.

In the next day, we went to a shocking market in UGM and Bringharjo Traditional Market. We were looking for some souvenirs. My cousins wanted to buy batik shirts. Bringharjo is a complete market. We can find shirts, bag, cloth, underwear, and all about batik things, and we also found food like bakpia, lenting, and brem. Moreover, this market also sells spices and vegetables. So complete, isn’t it?

At 9pm we had to leave Jogja by Lodaya again. But, it’s different with the departure when we’re in the executive class, this time we’re in business class. I prefer to executive class because it’s more comfortable but I know the cost is more expensive, so I just can enjoy my trip while I’m in the train. It’s so enjoyable and so interesting though just in 3 days 2 nights.
