Pink Beach or Pantai Merah Muda is one of the beaches in Komodo Island, East Nusa Tenggara. The beach is

My First Time In Yogyakarta

My family and I went to my grandmother’s house in Yogyakarta last month. It was my first trip to this city. We
went there two days after my sister’s gradution ceremony in Semarang. We arrived at Yogyakarta at night.
We spent a week staying in my grandmother’s house which is 5 minutes away by foot to Malioboro street.

In the first morning, we were still too tired after a long trip from Semarang to Yogyakarta. So, we decided to
stay at home to recharge our energy. I walk around the neighborhood with my sister just to experience how it
is like to be in Yogyakarta. There were too many houses, I think, which made the space between a house
and the other was so small, even the road was also small that only bicycle and motorcycle can go through.

On the second day, all of us went to Malioboro street. We saw so many merchant with various of products
which they claim to be a traditional product of Yogyakarta. I bought some wooden figurines and T-shirt with
the word “Yogyakarta” printed on it, while my sister bought some leather handbags. My mom and dad
were busy choosing some merchandises to be brought home when we go back.

On the third day, we went to Taman Sari and Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat to see some historical
buildings in Yogyakarta. We took a lot of pictures there. We also took some pictures of the building so we
can check it again at home. We found some places providing Yogya traditional food around the building and
we jumped in right away.

We spent the rest of our week in Yogyakarta by visiting some Shopping Malls such as Jogja City Mall,
Malioboro Mall, Hartono Mall and Ambarrukmo Plaza. We realized that Yogyakarta turned out to be very
warm during the day, that was the reason why we decided to spend more time in air conditioned building like
these.
