Here I am again, ready to spam your fpages - if you haven't filtered me out, that is.


Day 1
Went to the doctor first. Eve and syringe needles are going to be OTP for the next couple of weeks. *wrinkles nose* Anything to stop the allergy.
After that, the office. Worked using pen and paper instead of the computer (I used the computer to go online, ahaha). Left for the hotel at about 5.30 p.m. Nice hotel - it's called the Cemara Hotel ("cemara" means pine), in the Menteng area. Slept in the clothes I spent the day in, after a full and satisfying dinner. (Didn't have breakfast and lunch, so I kinda went on a rampage)

Day 2
Checked out from the hotel at six because the flight was at 8.20 a.m. Went straight to Kebumen after we landed at the Adisucipto Airport in Yogyakarta - the journey took about two and a half hours. The hotel in Kebumen is more like an inn, but at least it was air-conditioned.
During my stay in Kebumen, I saw many schoolkids going on bikes and riding in groups. To me, a quaint sight.

Day 3
Every morning guests at the hotel were served fried rice and tea for breakfast. Both happened to be to my taste, so no complaint from me.
Apparently the air conditioner was set to turn itself off if we set the temperature higher than 17°C. The first time it happened, I stared at the thing, and thought that some enemy had taken over the room and was trying to intimidate me. ("All your base are belong to us!" were the exact words that went through my mind)
Helped with auditing the project files all the way past 11 p.m.

Day 4
Spent the day visiting communities and talking with some of the people. I also discovered that goats hate it when humans try to walk past what they consider to be their demesne.

Day 5
Went to the Ibis Hotel, Yogyakarta, at the end of the day. The hotel is located at Malioboro, Yogya's famous street.

Day 6
Happily overslept and almost missed breakfast hour. Before checking out at 10.30, I tried going around Malioboro a little. Anyone wants a purple or a pink fan?
It rained buckets when I arrived in Bogor, so I stopped at a KFC outlet and ate. It still rained buckets when I got home.

I stayed at three different hotels, and each time I got a room with double beds. The unoccupied bed is rather handy to spread the laundry on.

Tiredness aside, I had some fun :)
