the marvelous Yogyakarta

Why you should visit Indonesia, especially, Yogyakarta. I tell you why. Yogyakarta is full with culture, friendly people, very affordable price (food, clothes, literally, everything) and yet very mystic.

Here's a few things, that you can do ONLY in Yogyakarta. You can't find this in nowhere :)

1. Masangin 
Where? Alun-alun Kidul Yogyakarta (south)
What? It's only a game. But very interesting one. You must close your eyes and try to walk straight, through the two very mystical trees. If succeed, your wish can come true! 
Why? Bring your friends! Cause it's gonna be VERY FUNNY when watching your friends try to walk straight and passed the test! Only a few people can do this! Very few.

me & my friends try Masangin!

2. Museum Ullen Sentalu
Where? Kaliurang (please do ask people about the direction)
What? It's a museum. History about Yogyakarta's and Solo's Palace, also the story about javanese culture. 
Why? The architect is insane!! And I think the place look so great, when you want to do a pre-wed shoot. Ticket : 25.000 IDR (you will be guided with a friendly tour guide :D) After you visit the museum, you could have the 'goodbye' drink, it's a herbal tea, I think. But it was really great and aromatic and soothing! Total worth it!

PS: too bad, we can't take pictures inside the museum :(
