FIELD TRIP PART 1

MY FIELD TRIP AND MEET THE FOREIGN

IN YOGYAKARTA

Hi we meet again...

Now, i want to tell you about my field trip. For the first, I visited the tourist attraction "Malioboro Street” at Yogyakarta. When I walk with my friends on "Malioboro Street", I meet two strangers. Hayoo, who among you does not know Malioboro? Almost everyone knows Malioboro, especially the people of Yogyakarta, if you have never been to Malioboro said like a vegetable without salt ... Hahaha I'm just kidding.. For those who do not know what Malioboro, I will explain a little about Malioboro.

That was the name one of the available roads in Yogyakarta. The road that was very famous around tourists who visited to Yogyakarta. In this road, you could find plenty of traders merchandise that peddled his merchandise. Moreover also, you could spend the night in one of available hotel all along this road. If the night arrived, you could enjoy various typical Yogyakarta food sorts that in peddled all along this road. You could enjoy while sitting in the founded road pavement the mat with the family. The method like this, in mentioned the "lesehan restaurant".

 

In addition to build a fort, the Dutch also built the Dutch Club (1822), the Dutch Governor's Residence (1830), the Java Bank and the Post Office to maintain their dominance in Yogyakarta. The rapid development occurred at that time caused by business trading between the Dutch with Chinese. Also due to the division of land in sub-segments of Malioboro Road by the Sultan to the people of China and famously known as the District of China.

The city development at that time was dominated by the Dutch in building facilities to boost the economy and their strength, like the construction of the main station (1887) on Malioboro Road, which is physically managed to divide the road into two parts. Meanwhile, Malioboro Road has an important role in the independence era (post-1945), as the Indonesians fighting for their independence in the fighting both at the North and the South side of the road.

How can I meet two strangers? Malioboro is one of the tourist attractions in the city of Yogyakarta which is definitely a lot of tourists both from local tourists and foreign tourists. At that time I met two tourists, they named Paulina and Frans. They are from France, they are only 3 days in Yogyakarta and their destination coming to Indonesia is for a vacation. They are very friendly and humble. Paulina is very beautiful, she is also very funny. Frans is very handsome, his smile is sweet and he has a good beard.
