Last Monday i went to Solo-Yogyakarta-Semarang. Well my schedule is quite tight there..so i'm not going to upload lots of pics here..(sorry for that). At the first day i went to Solo on monday..We arrived at Adi Sucipto International Airport, we took a car rent to drive us to some local place and also drop us to Yogyakarta. In Solo, me n my friend went to some local food restaurant there. We eat Tengkleng (it's a goat meat mix with it's lungs, womb,etc) it taste more like gulai. After we had lunch there we're going to Yogyakarta. It took an hour from Solo. We stay in 2 star hotel in Malioboro district. it's an area where u can find lots of affordable (cheap) stuff and lots of batik garments. Hotel location are great it's near everywhere and it's cleanliness excellent. Since it's a 2 star hotel don't expect any great breakfast, they only have 2 optionals which are beef teriyaki and Gudeg (Yogyakarta traditional food). If you wanna buy Batik and other gift, i would reccomend Mirota Batik. it's located infront of Beringharjo Market. All Price are fixed but it's really..really cheap..(even they sell necklace cheaper than in street market). U can also buy raminten Bakpia here (it is a traditional cake, more like moon cake but inside is a green bean). if u wanna buy things in street market.. i suggest you to bargain at the lowest price..example if they offer you IDR.40.000 you have to bargain to 10.000. At the end they will give you 15.000. So u should very..very..stingy there..LOL
It's some batik garments i found in beringharjo market
Whiz hotel in Yogyakarta
Room in Whiz hotel. has a separate toilet and shower room,
They only provide hanger instead of drower. very minimalist.
We stay a night in Yogyakarta and on tuesday we went to Semarang. It took 3 hours from Yogya. we go by taxi to local travel agent named "joglosemar". We only paid 40.000/pax for the bus, and we stop at simpang lima semarang. This bus is very convenience more like airport bus, Air conditioner, clean and also they give you snacks during the trip. We stay at panandaran hotel. It's an old 3 star hotel. facilities are ok but the cleanliness and it's services are great. Breakfast also great they provide lots of optionals unlike the whiz hotel. Well in Semarang i didn't go to local place.. we only spend times at mall.. ya..ya.. i know..so not interesting..haha..but we went to local food restaurant named "ayam Supar". It is popular by it's traditional fried chicken and oxtail. the taste are great and oxtail are brilliant. it looks so so but once u taste it..u will feel the soft texture of the oxtail and an excellent taste of fried chicken. Very reccomended foods.. If u wanna buy gifts it's located along the way.. u can buy bandeng presto and lumpia (local foods).
The famous fried chicken and oxtail soup..
Well, sorry i only give short information since not much things to tell..will update these cities place to hang out on my next trip.. :)
