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.
