Departure & Arrival  24/6/08

 

 
24/6/08 7.30am at Changi Airport T2  
  Mr Wen Senior Manager of SIF accompanied me to Solo  
 

Only my wife and one daughter could send me off. Yeo Min went to school, Yeo Yue went for school camp.

 
 
  Arrived at Solo at about 10.15am (9.15am WIB, western Indonesia time)  
  On the way to Jogja, we visited Mesuem Mempakan at Kaliurng in the north, near to Mt Marapi. However, the power went off while we were waiting for a museum guide.  
Entrance of Mesuem Mempakan
A park at Kaliurang

Supposed to have good view of Mt. Merapi from here, but it was to cloudy to see anything. what we saw was only a hill.

A view tower for visitors to see Mt. Merapi
We had our welcome lunch at a traditional restaurant in Jln Kaliurang, where we sat on the floor and ate with our fingers.
a very traditional seafood restaurant.
Taste good, but very sweet. This is typical of Jogja food. However, it is the 1st time, I guess, I enjoyed sea food so much.
Bu Dasi is in-charge of the Language Learning Centre (Pusat Palatihan Bahasa). I will be working with her closely.
Not just nice food, but also nice ambient
At Kasongan Pottery Village, south of Jogja

Though it is called pottery, they are not made of clay.

This is not a planned itinerary but upon knowing that I like pottery, Bu Darsi immediately asked the driver to head for Kasongan. Well, that is the culture & the people of Jogja-flexible and hospitable.
