Presidential visit in pictures

16 December 2008 - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was in Yogyakarta just for a short period. But as usual a President does not travel somewhere if he doesn't have his agenda filled. Coming from eastern Java yesterday, he traveled to the Prambanan temple in the morning while in the afternoon he officially opened Taman Pintar. His evening is probably filled with a dinner with the sultan and governor of Yogyakarta province, Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X, which could well be a next President as well.

Whirlwind brings damage at Kampus UGM

7 November 2008 - Originating from a heavy rainstorm that started around three in the afternoon, a whirlwind suddenly came down directly above the campus of UGM, one of the most well-known universities of Indonesia. In just a few minutes time thousands of trees wend down, power lines snapped, parts of roofs were lifted and window panes were sucked out of their windows.

One day exploring Kebun Raya Bogor

August 2008 - Whether the Botanical Gardens in Bogor are an entire day out is up to you of course. But the place could very well be a days out; you will find yourself in a peaceful and green environment with a few ponds, well-maintained gardens and several places where you can enjoy a nap in the shadow of a big tree. With an entrance fee of just 10.000 Rupiah it is something you should not pass, but don't forget to be outside the gates when the gardens close!

Deserted sandy white beaches

July 2008 - A nice stretch of sandy white beach, just a few hundred meters long. The small road then turns inland over a few hills before ending up at the little harbour of Sadeng, in the remote southeastern corner of Yogyakarta province, at some two and a half hours drive from the city of Yogyakarta. Freshly caught fish is on sale here before the sun rises above the horison, good to buy here and eat a few beaches towards the west when the first rays of sun come over the hills.

At the end of the line; Purworejo train station

June 2008 - The small terminal train station of the town of Purworejo, one hours drive to the west from the city of Yogyakarta, is in the middle of the town. It is the quiet environment - the only exception is the still fairly quiet main road passing directly in front of it - as well as the colonial design which make it seems you are going back in time some hundred years. Like time has stood still here at the very end of the railroad track where switches are moved by hand, the ticket booth only opens when a train is about to leave and that is only when there is a train, just a few times a week!

Under attack at the bus terminal

May 2008 - A bus terminal in Indonesia works slightly different than in most other countries. People working for the bus companies at the bus terminals will help you in a friendly way, but not without some pressure to take their bus, especially when you told them where you wanted to go. Every single passenger is fought over with some yelling, pushing and pulling. Your luggage can even be pulled out of your hands if you are not completely alert. Everything for the customer, but most of the time it does cross some lines indeed. Here are 34 pictures as 'evidence'.

Harvesting time in Indonesia

April 2008 - Harvesting season is on it's way in Indonesia and for those who want to have a closer look there are several ways to do this. You can dive into some rice fields yourself, it should be fun but will maybe less be appreciated by the farmer. In Yogyakarta daytrips are organized so people who are interested can harvest themselves at ease while they are also able to learn something about the work of the average farmer here.

Fort Willem II in Ambarawa

April 2008 - Located near the main road from Semarang to Yogyakarta, just outside the village of Ambarawa is the old Dutch fortress 'Willem II'. However since Indonesian independence it has become a military complex and prison, it has a past of serving as a fortress during the Dutch coloial time and a prison during the Japanese occupation and revolution afterwards. Nowadays the fortress can be visited, but you are not allowed to make any pictures because it's a military object.

Koffie Aroma - Old fashioned coffee from Bandoeng

January 2008 - Making coffee requires craftsmanship. Craftsmanship that has been taken over by machines that process modern day coffee from raw beans to packed bags of coffee. There are exceptions however and one of them you can find in Bandung. Behind the central post office in the old Chinese quarter is 'Koffiefabriek Aroma'. This is the place where they still make coffee in the traditional way like it used to be made in the 1930's. More information about Paberik Kopi Aroma can be found here.
