My Holiday in Yogyakarta
That day was August 23, 2016. A week before that day I had been preparing everything. Then, at that day i
was ready for my holiday.
At 9 in the morning, I went to the station. The train would arrive at 10 a.m. It took 30 minutes walking from
my home to the station. At that station, I bought the ticket to go to Yogyakarta.
It took around 5 hour to go to Yogyakarta from Tulungagung by train.
I arrived in Tugu Station Yogyakarta at 3.15 pm. I had no fix idea about the places at which I would visit. So, I
was free to do anything in this city.
At first, I went walking around at Malioboro Street. I saw so many people in this street. Perhaps, they did the
same thing as I did, just walking and sometimes stopped at some street marchandise sellers a long that
road.
At 6 p.m, i was tired and hungry. I was at Alun-Alun Kidul, the south side of Yogyakarta Palace.
I looked around and find Angkringan, at that place I ordered for a glass of ice tea and ate some Sego Kucing
with Sate and also Gorengan.
After eating, I began to think of where I would get the cheap hotel to stay for several days in Yogyakarta.
That was my story which I always remember about my holiday at Yogyakarta.
