Adventures of a Global Wanderer
am tired
just got here after 7 hour train ride from yogyakarta
lots of rice fields, volcanoes, villages, and mosques
train ride was $20 in eksektif class which is first class
ticket included lunch and they have flat screen tv at front with entertainment
saw an indonesian movie with subtitles about a girl who ran away from
her family in jakarta and went to jogjakarta and was hiding with a sex worker
but when she got found out the landlady threw them both on the street
so where can u take a 7 hour train ride in business class with meals for $20??
only thing is the toilets were not 'eksekutif' and quite downmarket!
i stocked up at the conveince store with goodies for only $2.80!
bill for room service, internet, local/intl calls, mini bar was only $38 total!
so eid last nite, every mosque was letting off fireworks
then from each mosque school kids were marching in parades
banging drums and reciting verses
gangs of hijabans were roaming the streets on motorbikes chanting
people were loaded on the backs of trucks with loadspeakers
saying verses
what little i got to see of eid
last nite the ramayan ballet was good
i think i got the figures messed up with my richshaw driver
he charged me $7 in the evening so it must have been $4 in the
morning and not 40 cents as i thought
$1 = 10,000 so confusing when they tell u something is 50,000 = $5
hotel had a surprise cake for me saying happy birthday
they must have known from my passport
jakarta is nice so far
cab from train station was $2
everything is closed for holiday today so got here quick
i'm on 10th floor and have panarama skyline views :)
