Enjoy the thrill of Yogyakarta Malioboro Street

Clouds are hanging in the city of Surabaya to haunt my steps to immediately go to several main bus terminal. The terminal has become a center for people who use land transportation to and from Surabaya. My aim is to Yogyakarta. The town is full of tradition and cultural heritage.

Terminal Giwangan be the last port of call on entering the city of Yogyakarta. Witnessed the sun that has begun to dim, I continue the journey toward cultural icons one of the cities in Java. Yes ... that is the area Jalan Malioboro. Dim the lights as the colorful welcome my arrival.


After booking the hotel to stay, go on to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere at night in Malioboro. Maliboro Road is the name of the street in the city of Yogyakarta, which stretches from Tugu Yogyakarta up to the intersection of Post Office in Yogyakarta. Consists of Prince Road Mangkubumi and Jalan Jend A Yani, this road is the imaginary axis line of Yogyakarta Kingdom.


What caught my attention when crossing Malioboro is reopening old colonial memory. The reason, in the path of this road there are some magnificent buildings with ancient arsitektu still standing strong. As Tugu Yogyakarta, Tugu Station, Great House, Market Beringharjo, Fortress and Monument Vendeburg Oemoem attack March 1.


Less afdol if not enjoy the typical dish Gudeg City while in the region. Especially famous Malioboro in the presence of street vendors who peddle a variety of crafts and of course typical Yogya lesehan stalls are ready to be a loyal friend when stomach rumbling.


Not only that, this place is also a place of creativity of artists to express themselves. From start artists music, painting, hapening art, mime and several other artists made the Malioboro Street, the media to show his ability.


Unfortunately, although the concept of "populist" is very strong in this area, but if you visit this area please be careful. Yes, the price of food in Malioboro can strangle the neck. Looks like the shop owner saw the potential draw of the tourists who come here to raise the price of food is quite expensive. So do not be surprised if your shadow in the region eat cheap.
Adorned Heart Yogya


Not if one is called the heart of Malioboro Yogyakarta city. In this very busy road by passing vehicles. From traditional vehicles such as tricycles, then gig / carriage / wagon, bicycles, carts and motorized vehicles such as cars, taxis, city buses and public transportation do not miss this street jazz.


Hustle and bustle of it, too, who make Malioboro feel alive. Yet if we trace, the length of this road is not up to two kilometers. As if there are magnetic, this street is always crowded by locals or foreigners who want to just get together, go shopping or just enjoy the beautiful night in the city of Yogyakarta. Unlike the major metropolitan cities such as Jakarta or Surabaya, vibrant Malioboro is still much influenced by local culture. This is what makes Yogya has its own charm.


Enjoying food in Malioboro less fit without listening to the song Om Donate Doel. "All I remember. And do not be kulupa. Memories of the most beautiful. ... And the most fun. There is a beautiful song in Malioboro. The song of love about you and me. There is a beautiful poem in Malioboro. Sajak love about you and me. "


Yes ... romantic out if you hear a song Om Doel, especially if the streets with people dear. Guaranteed to beat the hectic atmosphere of Malioboro. But then again, when eating alone, lest you be tempted by the menus in Lesbian scattered in these streets.


Notice the price of food, ask for a draft price menu. If you do not want to bag you out too deep. Shame it, because I'm romantic in the bag of money apparently thin. Missing deh romantic atmosphere.

BUTON ISLAND AND THE SULTANATE OF BUTON

To the southeast of the Sulawesi mainland, Buton Island remains part of Southeast Sulawesi Province. Long before the independence of Indonesia and the unification of Buton with the rest of the country, Buton was a kingdom. This existed from the 14th to the 16th centuries. After this, and until Indonesia's independence, it remained a Sultanate.

During the Sultanate period, the residents conducted trade and communicated with both China and Majapahit Kingdom, on Java Island. Interestingly, the first ruler who governed this region was a queen and the last ruler was a king. It was the last ruler, King Laki Laponto, who became the first Buton Sultan.

Buton Island is well known for its asphalt, called Buton or Butas Asphalt, and for its teak and ironwood. There is daily boat service from Kendari, with a stopover in Raha, the capital city of Muna Island.

Tourism in Indonesia For 2011

Tourism in Indonesia is an important component in the Indonesian economy as well as an important source of foreign exchange earnings. In 2009, the number of international tourists arriving in Indonesia rose 3.6% to 6.45 million arrivals from 6.43 million in 2008. In 2010, foreign tourists visiting Indonesia to touch 7 million and estimates 7.7 million foreign tourists in 2011 with the new branding "Indonesia Indah" reflecting the beautiful nature in the country, a unique culture, different types of food, people friendly and the price competitiveness of various services. Subsequent economic impact of this book tour in 2009 saw the entry of 6.3 billion U.S. dollars U.S. dollars spent by international tourists in Indonesia, on average spent U.S. $ 129.57 per day and U.S. $ 995.93 per visit. While the number of arrivals increased in 2009 the total spent per visitor decline leads to a shortage of revenues of U.S. $ 1,070,000,000 when compared with the previous year.
Both nature and culture is a major component of tourism of Indonesia. Natural heritage can boast a unique combination of tropical climate, a vast archipelago 17,508 islands, 6,000 of them inhabited, the third longest coastline in the world (54,716 km) after Canada and the EU. This is the world's largest country and most densely located only on the islands beaches in Bali, diving locations in the Park, Mount Rinjani in Lombok and national parks range in Sumatra, just a few examples of objectives beautiful popular. Nature tourism is equipped with a heritage of rich culture that reflects the history of Indonesia's dynamic and diverse ethnicities. One fact which exemplifies this property is 719 living languages used throughout the archipelago. Ancient Prambanan and Borobudur Temple, Toraja, Yogyakarta, Minangkabau, Balinese, and of course, with so many Hindu celebrations, is a popular destination for cultural tourism.
Tourism in Indonesia is currently overseen by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism [8] International tourism campaign. Have focused mainly on tropical destination with white sand beaches, blue skies, and cultural attractions. Beach resorts and hotels have been developed in several popular tourist destinations, particularly the island of Bali as a primary goal. At the same time, integration of cultural affairs and tourism in the same scope of services indicated that cultural tourism is considered as an integral part of the Indonesian tourism industry, and vice versa, which is used for promoting tourism and preserving cultural heritage.
Some of the challenges the tourism industry of Indonesia has to face include the development of infrastructure to support tourism in the archipelago area, attack the industry into local traditions (adat), and the impact of tourism development on the lives of local people. Indonesia's tourism industry is also faced setbacks because of problems related to security. Since 2002, warnings have been issued by several countries for terrorist threats and ethnic and religious conflicts in some areas, significantly reducing the number of foreign visitors for many years. However, the number of international tourists has risen back positive since 2007, and reached a new record in 2008.
