    Rice Paddys

     June 26 in Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Across from the cooking school and next to it were some rice paddys with people working. Tahnee and Ingrid wanted to offer the man nearby some of our food so they waded out a path he had created by cutting out some rice to offer him some food which he took after our driver explained what they were doing. It looked like he enjoyed what they gave him.Read more

    After buying the food needed we went to Ibu Ning's cookery school. We made Nasi Goreng (fried rice), perkedal (potato fritters), capcay (mixed vegie dish), tempe goreng (soy bean product). Then we sat down to eat our lunch - delicious.

    Gamelan Playing

     June 25 in Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    After the dance lesson we had an hour long lesson of playing the Gamelan instruments. We had a special teacher - a lecturer at a local Music University (there are over 100 universities in Yogya!). The girls picked up what was being asked of them very quickly and got turns at all the different instruments.Read more

    Javanese Dancing Lesson

     June 25 in Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    We headed off to a place where we would have a lesson on Javanese dancing. The teacher and her helper started with simple movements and then kept adding the next bit for an hour or so. The girls did so well concentrating for so long and following along.

    Odong-Odong at Alun-Alun Kidul!

     June 28 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    As a special treat Rifa suggested we let the girls go on the brightly lit up pedal powered cars (odong-odong) near Alun-Alun Kidul. It was a long wait to get an empty one and we went for 1 (slow) lap around the area (just behind the palace we saw the first day) but it was lots of fun with a choice of music to play and lots of bopping along.

    Then some girls tried the blindfold walk through the banyan trees.    Read more

    First Impressions

     June 22 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    We asked some of the girls for some first impressions of our trip so far...
    Ailish - very different to Bali in a good way
    Charlotte - hotel is good, likes the fish tank, pool area looks good
    Yu Shin - we’ve had way too much food
    Charlie - looking really different with lots of green spaces
    Abbey - seeing the Volcanos above the cloud was great

    Dinner tonight was a smorgasbord of lots of interesting options.

    The itinerary has changed a bit, see one of the pictures below.    Read more

    The Sultan's Palace (Kraton)

     June 23 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Here we saw where the Sultan lives with his wife and 5 daughters. And had a photo taken in front of it. Then through another area there were some ladies and then men, practicing their dancing. While we were watching some school children approached us and asked if they could practice their English! Everyone became involved and there was lots of laughter.

    Then we went through the museum of the ninth and beloved Sultan.

    Here are Yu-Shin's thoughts on the Palace written in Indonesian, then in English...
    Di Keraton Sultan, ada dua museum. Banyak artefak bisa dilihat dari Sultan IX, Sultan yang paling berkuasa. Keraton itu terbangun pada tahun 1755 ada agung dan indah sekali. Pada jam sebelas, ada tarian. Penari langkah dengan anggun. Selalu ada banyak orang yang ingin memotret dengan kami.

    (At the Sultans palace, there are two museums. There are many artifacts from the ninth Sultan who was the most powerful. The Kraton was built in 1755 and is very grand and beautiful. At 11 o’clock, there was dancing. The dancers move gracefully. There is always many people who want to take a photo with us.)    Read more

    Visit to a Mosque

     June 23 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    The Kauman Great Mosque was closed but our guide Rifa told us the Yogyakarta mosques are a mixture of Islam, Buddhist and Christian design and that all Indonesians are taught to accept the different religions.

    We had our picture taken in front of the gates with a special banner Rifa had made for us.Read more

    Sumur Bawah Tanah (Sunken Well)

     June 23 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    To get to this underground mosque we walked down a narrow set of stairs to a gated building. Through the gate we walked down some ramps to get to an amazing area of 2 different circular tunnels built round a staircase in the middle. Apparently the 'choir' of the mosque would stand on the stairs with good acoustics to reach the Imam above and the people below.

    Some girls were chatting up, oops I mean practicing their Indonesian, with the young man seen in the photos below.    Read more

    Becak ride to Malioboro St Market

     June 28 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    After Bu Hinchey summoned 15 becaks (mostly powered by foot but some motorized) and drivers, we set off for the market. What an experience! The drivers are just amazing.

    At the market the girls bought bags for themselves and souvenirs for others. Then back to the hotel via becak for lunch. We each paid our driver 100000 rupia for our ride there and back (~$10).Read more
