Yogyakarta to Bali

I'm having a lazy day today. Well, I'm supposed to be on holiday - and retired.
So, I did nothing much except eat, drink lots, and sitting down to watch the world go by, Yogya-style.
This was a slightly risky strategy. Mainly, it seems, today was about talking to Indonesians until it was time to check in at the railway station for my train to Bali. Amongst other things, the photos show me being being accosted by Indonesian university students around town doing an assignment - a kind of interview/survey on what foreign travellers think of their city/country. Well, I had to help out the local university system.
There's another photo with a young chap in glasses. He's a philosophy graduate, so we had a good natter about European philosophy, Asian philosophy, and whether Buddhism is a religion or a branch of philosophy. I kid you not. This was how I spent a good hour before finding dinner and moving out of my hotel.
The train was an overnight one again (1 per day) so, predictably, I didn't sleep. (Why don't these people appear to realise it's the middle of night with their loud, inane chatter and playing on their phones?
The latter shots are of the end tip of Java at Ketapang, and first sight of the island of Bali.Leer más
