Hmm, Yogya sounds good. Actually beside the borobudur, are there any interesting places, like handicraft, or beach, seafood..
How about the cost, any shopping places, any cheap hotel, anybody can share their experience here..

Hi, I had visited Jogja last year.
Hotel, just ask and the friendly taxi driver take us to find a cheap hotel along Jalan Maliboro. My hotel was near the supermarket there and some streets shop. Its quite happening at night.
We choose hotel near the supermarket because there is a sign of KFC there.wink.gif
Since the hotel also got tourist guide, so we hire him for a one day trip. The charge can't remember but cheaper that what the taxi driver charged.
First night, went to watch Ramayana Ballet-about old Java. Lot of foreign tourist.
Day 1 - 1. Went to catch a sunrise at Candi Borobudur..wake up around 4.30 a.m. There are several small candi there but the Borobudur is the biggest.
2. Went to Candi Prambanan - small but beautiful candi. It was affected by previous earthquake, so they put up a fence covering the candi. So nobody can go near the candi.
3. Went to some gold shoppe. Nothing to bought.
4. Went to Keraton-just like Istana Negara in Malaysia.
5. Went to some old ruin palace - a swimming pool for the sultan's concubine. Beware of slippery floor.
Last check out from the hotel and went to Train Station- next journey, Bandung.
