after getting back to yogjakarta and checking into a hotel right in the middle of the city, we decided to explore the vicinity of the hotel, and i was quite sad to discovered wad a
mess of a muck the city really is. not surprisingly. o well. i suppose that's the real indonesia for u; not ur fancy hotels, luxurious resorts and ur manicured plantations; where things r dirty, old, run-down, spoilt and covered in grafiti, where ur air is choked with smoke, where ur pple r down-trodden and dirt pooor.
we had our christams eve dinner at this themed restaurant with a gamelan ensemble performing while we dined, which was really quite nice. and then we spent the rest of christmas rushing home to have dinner with the rest of the family.
