exploring malioboro

ok...continuing with my yogjakarta post.
anyway, there is nothing to post about my life right now. the same old routine but just working in scorching condition nowadays.

jalan malioboro or malioboro street is one street you do not want to miss when you are in yogjakarta. bring your shopping list here and you can find all the souvenirs and batik you need.
this is the south of the road, this is where it begins. i did not even walk till the end. so i have no idea how long the road is, but i can tell you, it is LONG. we walked there for almost 3 hours and we did not reach the end.....but i think we should be almost reaching the end already. but we got too tired and hungry that filling our stomachs was more important then. and oh, money was running out as well.

shops and stalls along the corridor. your eyes go all fuzzy after a while because most of the things on display are almost the same.

the only mall along this road- malioboro mall. they have shops like body shop, athlete's foot, a supermarket, mcdonalds, pizza hut, j& co donuts, etc here. i think the bigger malls in yogjakarta are along the road from the airport into the city. i saw a carrefour there.

our 'exploration' brought us to a first storey store selling factory outlet good and i found my pair of crocs here.
ta-da. have been looking around for a while after seeing a friend wore it. i got it for around rm80. the shop also sold nice fit-flop slippers which are sooo sooo soo comfortable that i felt like i was floating walking in them. really nice and it was selling for around rm110 only. you will never get this price in malaysia. unfortunately i am not a slipper person.


besides beca, another common form of transport here is horse carriage.

this was dinner for us that day. nobody felt like taking in anymore indonesian food so we settled for something familiar.

we don't have this pizza in malaysia right??? it was good. love the dough.
