MY FIRST TIME IN YOGYAKARTA
My family and I went to my grandmother’s house in Yogyakarta last month. It was my first trip to
this city. We went there two days after my sister’s graduation ceremony in Semarang. We arrived at
Yogyakarta at night. We spent a week staying in my grandmother’s house which is 5 minutes away by
foot to Malioboro street.
In the first morning, we were still too tired after a long trip from Semarang to Yogyakarta. So, we
decided to stay at home to recharge our energy. I walk around the neighborhood with my sister just to
experience how it is like to be in Yogyakarta. There were too many houses, I think, which made the
space between a house and the other was so small, even the road was also small that only bicycle and
motorcycle can go through.
On the second day, all of us went to Malioboro street. We saw so many merchant with various of
products which they claim to be a traditional product of Yogyakarta. I bought some wooden figurines
and T-shirt with the word “Yogyakarta” printed on it, while my sister bought some leather handbags.
My mom and dad were busy choosing some merchandises to be brought home when we go back.
On the third day, we went to Taman Sari and Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat to see some
historical buildings in Yogyakarta. We took a lot of pictures there. We also took some pictures of the
building so we can check it again at home. We found some places providing Yogya traditional food
around the building and we jumped in right away.
We spent the rest of our week in Yogyakarta by visiting some Shopping Malls such as Jogja City
Mall, Malioboro Mall, Hartono Mall and Ambarrukmo Plaza. We realized that Yogyakarta turned out
to be very warm during the day, that was the reason why we decided to spend more time in air
conditioned building like these.
