We're at Maliaboro. I'm wearing a traditional Blancone hat and we're going to try and cross the road here and see if we can survive
of course, easy enough. Hello, hello. All right, so we're going to go right through here
and show you around Yogyakarta. How are you, sir? Hello. So, hello. I walk this way and
then I come back, okay? Okay, sir. Thank you. So, I'm just going to squeeze right on through

get one of these horseback rides around Jogja Jogja is short for Jojakarta it's
not yoga-karta like I was calling it when I first came here
So we're going to go to Borobudur Temple. Also going to go to some other temples
I've now been in Indonesia for about eight days or so. and I took the train from Bandung
which is the second largest city in Indonesia, to Jogja. I took a car from Jakarta to Bandung
It took about three hours. I think it cost me two mil
They do have a fast train that's a lot cheaper and faster even from Jakarta to Bandung
But I'm still learning as I go. Takes time, you know. Marlboro
We got some cow bricks down here. Tomorrow I'm going to a place called Samarang
and then I hope to go to Surabaya. This is a huge island
You have to understand 150 million people live here. That's just in Java
The country of Indonesia is 250 million. And I'm trying to see as much of it as I can
I've only got 30 days. They're doing a massage here. That's pretty good
Okay. I'm actually probably going to extend my visa
I've already been in contact with somebody. I met on Instagram, one of those immigration companies
I think you can apply, but you have to wait until you have like 10 days left
Very tall, eh? Two and a half hour. Where did you get from
I got this from Borobordur. Borobordur, yeah. They sell it to me, the lady
Yeah, because inside Borobordur makes the traditional. And then you buy it
I buy it there. It may not rain in Borobudur, because in Borobudur you have the rain from the costumes, the traditional
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you can buy, sell them. But the hat is easy, no problem
Yeah, it's nice. It's beautiful. I like it. Yeah, I like Java

Martini! Alright, so..
Couldn't film in there, that's okay. It's beautiful artwork, though. Hello
This is a very busy place, right? We have here the guard at the gate
You know, it may be worth it to get just one of these and cruise up and down for a little bit
familiarize yourself with it. I might do it. Hello, how are you
How much, sir? I don't know. You take me. How much? 100,000
Finish. How many minutes? One hour, okay, let's go sir. All right, I'll let this guy tour me around try something new, you know, why not
Well, it's a bit different perspective when you're in the motorbike to cook
Carriage Oh, Kauasan I think that's the Chinatown that Chinatown Chinatown I
I think Kawasan. Kawasan, I think, was the name of the Chinatown in Jakarta
But I don't know. I know Kawasan Road in Bangkok is not Chinatown, but it's nearby
Mutiara, there's a nice hotel. They don't let the chain hotels build down here
This is a nice little area. Jogja No, Mendeca Mendeca Independence
So this is the Sultan area Many restaurants They have the Sultan of Yogyakarta
I believe, or maybe Java, I don't know But these are like the
Territorial rulers of specific regions of Indonesia They have them in Bali they have them in Java
You name it sultans are The rulers of the area But this is a nice little area for ah
to care ah traditional t-shirt Bali Bali okay It's better than walking the whole way I'll tell you that
Definitely better to get one of these motorbike things carriages It's actually quite a comfortable ride really nice the horse is also interesting but this
might be a little bit faster either way it's a tuk-tuk hello sir what do you call this what do you call this bike the name
So the name is what? Rikshah Motor Which is a motor rickshaw. So we're in a motor rickshaw
That's great. Now I know Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Look at that. That is cool. Look at that. Okay, looks like we've got some seafood satay, baby crab
Such an awesome place, Georgia, Karta. What in the world are we coming up to here
So you can put your seatbelt on, sit back and enjoy the ride
Well look at this bus. That's one way to get around. Wow
Probably got the best rickshaw driver in town. He definitely knows. He doesn't go too fast to make it dangerous or anything
But he goes perfect. He's definitely a superstar guy. Oh, look at this
And he knows all the secrets to getting around traffic. Which is important when you come to Indonesia
Even Joe Jakarta's got traffic Motorbikes are a great way around the traffic
No running running it and we're going across here See
That was a little bit of an empty situation, but he managed to navigate perfectly
Got Mexican food here guys Mexican food and Jokja What name
Your name, James. Sumaro. Sumaro, yes. Okay, good man, sir. From Yogyakarta
Yes. Original Yogyakarta. You're from Yogyakarta? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I would say that that tour was good
it was probably 30 minutes longer than it needed to be because
there was a lot of things that we did at the end and we're just driving
around the town on the way back but I would say just going down Malioboro
and then towards that like Salton area where they have those buggies and then back
but just do the hour actually make it simple because the communication may be a little bit off
but it was good What we got going on here
Oh, the haunted house. Oh, no, the haunted house. Well, it's only 35,000 rupiah, which is like two to three dollars to get in here
So let's see what's going on. Yeah, so that haunted house museum starts out kind of slow and then it just goes crazy
Scary in there. and scoop with the instrument and then throwing following the design
So you melt the wax into the hole? Not in here, but on the big place
On the big place. We scoop and then throwing following the design. So this is a yellow color, all empty area, done to be yellow, except the part that you give wax
So this is wax? It is. So you put the wax where you don't want the color? Correct
And then you need to put wax again over the yellow only to protect yellow color before you make it another color
So this way, empty area from here will be dying on the red color, done to be red. Okay
And then you need to put wax again to protect red color before you get another color
Oh, boiling in the hot water. Yeah, it is. So when you're boiling, all the wax is gone, yeah
But color is there on the material. You got to fill. Style or a fabric? Yeah
Is it a fabric? This is the cotton. Cotton is there. Oh, fabric, cotton
Cotton, yeah. Okay. And you would put the wax on the fabric
Yes, sir. Hot wax. So the wax is going to be used to another side
Wow. All right, so here we are at Borobudur Temple. You can go up the actual structure, or you can walk around the grounds
But if you intend to go up the structure, you will need to book online ahead of time
So take that into consideration. but it's about an hour and ten minutes outside of Jogjakarta
maybe further depending on what part of the city you're in so it does take some time to get here
alright so it is 400,000 Indonesian rupiah per adult I want to say it's 250,000 per child
that comes out to around 24 US dollars So we'll see about this temple
All right So this is just to walk around the temple grounds
If you wanted to actually go up there You have to pay extra and book ahead of time
But it was sold out All day Boro Bodur
So yeah, if you wanted to go up there, actually walk around, you have to pay extra
They've removed the heads of some of them. That's interesting. Yeah, there's a lot of people just kind of hanging out, taking pictures
I guess in the 1800s a British lieutenant found this place and ordered a Dutch archaeologist
to come out here and excavate it and clean it up. The guy's name is Raffles
If you've been to Singapore, you've heard of British General, I guess you could say
Alright, they're all selling the exact same things. But all this guy here needs, me
is some liquid. Some water. I wonder if it's zoned to not sell water there
because you would think one of them would have some sort of refreshments
Instead, they're all selling the exact same things. They don't sell a lot of water
Water? Alright. So I just bought a magnet. It's a pretty nice picture actually
I'll show you the magnet in a second. But one thing I will say is once you start stop and talk, it's basically you're gonna buy
I was like, where is that place? I didn't see that when I went up there
A volcano or anything. I bought one of those traditional hats. And a magnet
So many vendors here, it's unbelievable. And they're all selling the same thing. Pretty much
Souvenirs. Textiles. Every other one is the exact same thing as it was
next to the next one and it's just a mega long walk so i mean of course i want to support some
of the people but uh i can't buy that much stuff just simply don't have that much room
and suitcase yeah i bought one of these How much? 150. 150? Yes. Special prize. Let me see. Okay. Yes
I think we found light at the end of the tunnel here. Hello sir. How are you? Good. Thank you. Exit
Hello. I already buy everything. No shame. Why don't you put this one
He already saw everything It's bordering on the level of a tourist trap
Might be a tourist trap to be honest with you there Because you can't really go up there
It's $24 to get in And most of your time is spent
Walking through a shopping area It's very nice sir but It's very nice
It very nice sir I don have a house sir I a full time traveler Yes cannot carry around a bunch of stuff Very good If I had a house that would be cool
But I don't. Thank you, sir. Okay, now we are at the Hindu temple known as Prambavan
So the other one was a Buddhist temple. This one is Hindu, like Bali
And we'll see what it's going to cost. As same as the other place, there's a foreign side and a domestic side
Foreigners pay way more. This temple here was also $400,000 That's quite expensive
Very expensive actually for a temple Most temples are usually free Or maybe
$4 to $10 I've never seen really $24. But this one looks a little bit more well manicured than the last one in terms of
gardening. I just went to the bathroom. The bathroom is not in a very good condition. All
of the urinals were down. There was three urinals, but none of them worked. They were
all locked off. And then the toilet itself, you would not want to have to do it. Number
two there. Because they were covered in yellow liquid on the seats
So anyway. It's a nice temple. That's actually really nice. Very nice
Alright, let's see if we can go walk around this actual temple
Oh I would say this one
Easier to get to and More interesting kind of like Angkor Wat
Oh, wow. On the outside here it looks like they have a lot of rubble
I guess this is what most of those probably look like before they were put back together
quite sure. That one in the backdrops, the most impressive
All right, everybody. And on that note, that's going to conclude this episode of Island Hopper TV
