the courtesies of jogja

I really very happy to be in Jogjakarta, Indonesia, for three days since February 10, 2009. I went to Jogjakarta for enjoying the city. When entered the city, I remember staying here pursuing my master degree 5 years ago and an unforgettable one, Jogja’s courtesies. People there are very welcome to every one and very respectful. This is the one that I like it very much.

At Jogja, I also went to Universitas Gadjah Mada, the university I get my master degree. Again, I also feel the Jogja’s courtesies here. I met many friends and some of my lecturers there. There are very low profile, respectful and very expert in the field of their interests. I am very impressed with them.  See you later Jogja!

across malacca straits

If you would like to go to Penang, Malaysia across Malacca Straits, you can use a ferry from Belawan Harbour, North Sumatra, Indonesia directly to Jetty Harbour, Penang.  It takes 5 hours with ticket fare RM 150 (around Rp 500.000).

I ever use this way when travel back from Penang to Indonesia on January 2009.   As long as the weather is okey, the travel is safe. At the Malacca Straits, you will see some container ships, nice sea scenery and beautiful long bridge at penang before arriving at Jetty Harbour. Have a nice trip through this way.
