Further highlights of our Yogya week

by prudence on 08-Mar-2012
This week, I continued to revisit lots of experiences from last year, and I continued to meet up with old friends, whom I value more and more.

I have loved doing this, and going away again will make me homesick for Yogya, I know. What is it with me? You can only live in one place at once...

But here, I'll just record the new stuff:

1. Eating at Gudeg Mbarek Bu Haji Ahmad, where we enjoyed -- of course -- excellent gudeg.

2. Visiting the Sasmitaloka Museum, which quirkily depicts the life of the resistance hero Jenderal Sudirman.

3. Visiting various corners of Universitas Gadjah Mada's beautiful campus.

4. Checking out the local eateries that I'd missed out on last year.

5. Seeing a different bit of the Ramayana (Hanggada's Mission this time) played out at the Sono Budoyo wayang kulit performance.

6. Drinking chilli coffee at Parsley.

7. Sampling locally made Monggo chocolate -- very good stuff.

8. Having dinner at Milas Vegetarian Restaurant, in Prawirotaman -- nice food and an upmarket setting, with a fountain and pavilions, but still a fairly reasonable price.
