FIELD TRIP PART 2

FIELD TRIP AND MEET THE FOREIGN

Hello… Welcome to my blog….

In part 1 I tell you I meet the foreign in “Malioboro Street” Yogyakarta. In the second part, I met a stranger in the tourist attraction "Taman Sari Water Castle" Yogyakarta.

 

Taman Sari also known as Taman Sari Water Castle is a site of a former royal garden of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. It is located about 2 km south within the grounds of the Kraton, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Built in mid 18^th century, the Taman Sari had multiple functions, such as a resting area, a workshop, a meditation area, a defense area, and a hiding place.

Taman Sari consisted of four distinct areas: a large artificial lake with islands and pavilions located in the west, a bathing complex in the centre, a complex of pavilions and pools in the south, and a smaller lake in the east. Today only the central bathing complex is well preserved, while the other areas have been largely occupied by the Kampung Taman settlement. Since 1995 the Yogyakarta Palace Complex including Taman Sari is listed as a tentative World Heritage Site.

 

With its combination of eastern and western style building, this unique escape of the royal family has its own appeal and story. The most famous place in Tamansari is the bathing and resting place of the Sultan and his Princesses named Umbul Pasiraman. Most tourists find this place interesting as there is a unique story behind its origins.

The Sultan loves to go hunting during his free time and The Umbul Pasiraman was designed to appease the Sultan of that desire. Different from the Panggung Krapyak which was designed to hunt deer, the Umbul Pasiraman (which means a place to take a bath) was designed for the Princesses to take a bath and for the Sultan to relax and ‘hunt’ for a wife.

"Taman sari" is a tourist attraction that is visited by many tourists, be it local tourists and foreign tourists. When I visited "Taman Sari" I also met with foreign tourists who came from Germany, their names are Suzan and Scrou. Suzan has a beautiful face, her nose is very sharp and Scrou has a handsome face, she also has a thick beard. I think they are very good and they are both harmonious ... wkwk. They come to Indonesia for a vacation, and before going to Yogyakarta they vacation to Bali first, then they visit to Yogyakarta and they are in Indonesia already one more week.

Yes, Indonesia does have many tourist attractions located in various cities and provinces that attract tourists, so don’t be surprised if many tourists who come to Indonesia one of them to the city of Yogyajakarta and Bali.
