Yogyakarta is known as the cultural center of the Island Java. It is a student city with several universitys. I show you here what I captured with my camera.
This vehicel is powered by pedals and has a music system

Indonesians love to pose for a photo
Colourful fashion is hip in Yogya

Small food stalls are all over town
This is called “Es Campur”, mixed ice
It is crowded at the market, many people and not much space
most of the vegetable comes from the surrounding areas
the soil is very furtile in that volcanic landscape
The selection is manifold. Often it is good to know what you wnat to buy, so that you can ask for it.
Deep fried conserved fish
There is no cooling equipment for meat, often it is exposed to the heat for hours
Variety of salad and green vegetable is huge
Preparation of Gado-Gado, a vegetarian dish with peanut sauce

Last Friday ride in yogya, thousands of cyclists meet up
I never saw so many cyclists at the same time
A lot of cultural events are taking place in Yogya

Many riksha drivers offer their service
But there are not so many customers, most of the people have a motorbike

Kasongan, where the froghouse is located, is famous for it´s pottery. There is a place, like a pottery graveyard, where all the stuff which can´t be sold or used is stored. Many beautiful and good things you can find there.
