Day 5 - Around Yogyakarta

-

After we visited the Kraton Yogyakarta, we went to Taman Sari or Water Castle. It is not too far from Kraton and the place is really beautiful. I recommend you to visit it :)



Near Taman Sari, there's a wayang (wooden puppet) maker and the place is almost like an art studio. There are some paintings in there and they are very nice.





These are some of the paintings in there






Then we went to Batik Roro Djonggrang to see the process of making batik.

She's drawing the pattern for batik with pencil
Batik cap, they stamp the pattern into a fabric


And this is the traditional handwriting batik


Well Roro Djonggrang is actually a batik store, so after we saw the process, they took us to the store. The batik was pretty good but I didn't find anything that suits so I left the store with nothing, even though I'm still thinking about those pretty scarfs...

Colorado Trip

So this has been sitting in my draft since 2017 omg. I set you free. Living in Miami Beach is fun, not much different from Bali. I have to say that Bali has the best beaches. The weather in Miami can be really crazy, then winter comes and it's cold, the wind is super cold. We didn't expect it to be that cold. Okay, so let's have a real winter vacation with snow. We went to Colorado and just had a small chill party. Yes my first snow. We had the best time! This is the view from Cindy's bedroom. So pretty! Me and Leona The apartment is sooooo nice. I wanna live there forever Nardy is taking the picture? Byron Avenue kiddos (7/8)

Leke-Leke, Hidden Waterfall in Bali

Hello guys! How are you? Last week, I saw some photos of this waterfall in Instagram and began my research. It turns out, one of my close friend know this place. The waterfall is located in his grandpa's village and Hendra used to go there as a kid. So he asked me if I wanna go there and of course I said yes hahaha. Photo by Vanessa ( @__vaily__ ) just so you guys see what it's like before rain This enchanting waterfall is Leke - Leke or also known as Kipuan Kebo Waterfall by the locals. It takes about 1,5 hours drive from Denpasar. We put Hendra's car in his grandpa's house, then we borrowed their motorbikes to reach the entrance. The trek down took us 25 minutes from the entrance in Sulangai Village. The trek is slippery especially during rainy season. The rain started just right when we arrived. We unpacked our lunch and decided to wait. We waited for 2 hours total until it stopped completely. Hendra, Suci and Leona. It is very nice before

Oh Transportation Problem

Bali is way different once you live here. I must say that it's really difficult to get around the island if you don't have any car or motorbike, just like I do. I have to think of a different way to get to places. Sure you can use the public transportations here, such as Trans Sarbagita or Kura-Kura Bus, but they aren't everywhere.
