Nice Trip to Jogja, the city of Keraton

on 5th - 8th Dec 2008, all the students of English Dept and I had a study tour to Jogjakarta. We went there to observe two English Departments of Sanata Dharma University and Gadjahmada University. On the second day, it was a full-day-trip to see some attracting and amazing places.
I was very excited to join this study tour, because I have never been out of East Java since I was 18 years old! oh, what a pity.. Yes, it is because I could get nauseated easily when I am on the vehicles! But, when I studied in MCU, I was learning not to be nauseated by trying some journey to nearer town like Surabaya and the furthest town I've visited was Banyuwangi. Finally, when I got in the bus to Jogja, I felt a bit dizzy, but then it was Ok and I could through the journey safely and without feeling dizzy at all! yeah...
When I arrived at Jogja, I immediately felt so excited but secure (because I was happy that i would meet some friends and family here..). Ok, we immediately went to our room and got prepared to go to Sanata Dharma University. Of course I had to bring some equipment for my performance on the drama circle. Then at 8 we had breakfast (a very nice breakfast at Sejahtera's hotel.. hmmm..sllurrpp...)
Going to SaDhar....
We went to SaDhar on foot together in the hot morning. Yes, it's hot in Jogja. Before we arrived at SaDhar, all of us got wet and our make-up (especially for us who will perform a drama) faded. Hehehe... SaDhar was under-recovering at that time, that's why there were so many materials a long the side of the corridor.
Then surprisingly, the SaDhar's students greeted us so warmly and nicely. They also accompanied us to look around their facilities. There are some laboratories that MCU doesn’t have, for example the Micro teaching library, language library with its equipment, multimedia library for searching the material, and audio-visual library.
At noon, after a very rush lunch on the bus, we arrived at Gadjah Mada University. Wow, it’s a very large campus! Ok, in UGM we shared each other activities on campus and what’s on our campus. UGM gave us Taiko-drumming which was very interesting art from Japan! But, MCU also gave some nice performance too. There were Mrs. Moore drama and singing performance by Adelia and friends. >,<>

Hmm..on the way back to Malang, I did not join my friends to go home because I want to go to my aunt’s house. Yes, I met her on the last 6 months. Of course I really miss her. My lovely aunt.. on Monday, I went to Malioboro again and to Beringharjo Market. We bought some “oleh-oleh” for my family. I got a beautiful Batik! Yeei! After shopping a lot, I had to work on my Ansos. Hiks… actually, I was tired at that time, but I must finish it. Then I worked on it with half asleep… zzZZ…. Hm, at 5.30 pm, I went to Ambarukmo Plaza with my uncle to pick up my aunt for dinner. After that, Om Budi and I went hunting “Peyek Tumpuk”, food that I forgot to tell my friends that it really special in Jogja. Hehehe… hm..finally I went home at 8 PM with travel. Yei, it’s the first time for me to go home alone. But, I could do it! And I arrived at home at 5.30 Am safely.. but, I must go to campus. >,< (do not tell anyone that I was sleeping when Bu Dian taught us in the last hour until 4 PM!) yes, and I could not do my writing assignment earlier. I’m sorry Sir…
