Shopping Experience at Yogyakarta

Last week I went to Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia to attend the 2nd International Young Planners Forum.. I had few times to take a stroll there, but I took a walk to Malioboro Road at night and got some fabulous shopping experience!

Here's my 'treasure'

Chocolatte named Monggo, 2 bangles, 3 silver brooches, jamu (traditional drinks), tissue holder, table mats (for my mom!)

Ok, so started with Malioboro Road..


We'll see a lot of people hanging around. Start from seller, buyer, pedicab driver, street food seller, tourists, it's a busy street actually.. but I love being here because there's so many craft items sold here.. Here's some picture..


Accessories Shop!! Bandos, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc!

 Sandals.. Especially leather sandals.. They are very cheap.. Only 1.5 US$!

 This is batik cloth.. It has beautiful pattern and color! But, it was hand-written (really!) so it was quite expensive! About US$ 100.. It's worth it actually since the batik cloth it very long lasting.. But I don't bring that much money so skip it X__X

 Jamu (traditional drinks) booth.. Not only jamu, there's also ratus spice, spice bath for sauna, traditional body scrub, traditional mask, etc..

 Monggo Chocolatte booth! there's ginger flavor chocolatte fyi.. ;)

 Gamelan or traditional Javanese music instruments..

 Traditional toys! It's so funny what I found there...

 this cute Maraccas!! :D

 Baskets of Bracelets!! *I wanted to buy all of them! So hard to choose.. and I found some bracelets that's really pretty..

 Which one? But I think those were really huge for my tiny arms, so...

 I choose these.. :) What do you think?

Wayang (Traditional puppets with Hindu Goddess Story)

and the last greeting from me! hehehe.. Halo teman-teman, ayo datang ke Yogyakarta. Terima Kasih! (Hello friends, let's visit Yogyakarta. Thank you)
