Yogyakarta ,Indonesia

Yogyakarta, a beautiful city that has a strong culture and tradition.
If you're interested in History, it's a must go city. The city is well known with few candi(s), such as Borobudur, Prambanan and more.

After I packed my luggage, me and my family were off to airport. We landed our foot on the Yogyakarta airport after a 2 and a half hour of flight. Prambanan is the first place we visited.

The plants in Yogyakarta were all going very strong.

Had a jog for a few moment, we finally reached the candi.


The scenery was breath taking.

After a few earthquakes hit on the city, and the most recent one was on 2006, the buildings were heavily damaged.

Take a look at the candi.


The building was built without any help from machine, it's all human work and with some animals help to carry the heavy stones.



Every single angle is beautiful.


This thing is the main design of the building.
It represent human's reproductive organs, male and female's one.

Local peoples' life are difficult, you will see many peoples selling stuffs everywhere and they are really poor.


But, they're all friendly people.


Local food,not too bad.




Local students were doing some interviews with the tourist as a part of their final exam.

After visited Prambanan, we went to the beach.



For the next day, we visited Borobudur.

The huge building was rediscovered by Thomas Stamford Raffles on 19th century.


Borobudur contains approximately 2,670 individual bas reliefs on the wall.



UNESCO did some restoration work but all the replaced rocks must be marked by a white dot, and they're not allowed to do anything on the rock, it must be a plain rock, to avoid human to do a different meaning of rock on the wall.





So, story of the trip.

I had a fantastic food there. Take a look,

Delicious!

It's actually cobra meat. It sounds unreal, but look!


The chef took out some alive cobra from a bag.


He used a clip to clip the cobra's head and use a knife to chop off the head. Ouchh.


And then, peel off the skin of the cobra.

Ewww, this is the first time I eat the cobra meat. I still can't believe I ate them, but it's really a delicious dish.
Will surely eat this again if I go there next time because you will never eat this in Malaysia because it's illegal to catch cobra in Malaysia ;)

I think that's all.
